Their property is on a what looks to me to be quite a steep hill. I.e. the steps lead down to the front door, then there's their living space, then their deck is on supports above the slope.
I know nothing about water levels etc. in buildings. Is this still as much as problem (since it's only a "catch basin" from the one side of the slope)?
- smolder 6y agoWith the right drainage from the high side it wouldn't be, but without proper drainage it can pool together there and cause problems.
- bluGill 6y agoIt wouldn't have to be, but they obviously didn't have enough drainage. It is really hard to know this before hand though as the proper drainage is mostly underground where you can't inspect it.
