Duluth-Peachtree Bluff-Drainage Solution

I did a lot of drainage work for these folks last summer, but one problem area remained. During heavy rain surface water from the street was jumping their driveway and rushing into a narrow space between the two houses. An existing 12" drain could handle a normal rainfall but would be overwhelmed by heavy rain. Our solution was to replace the 12" basin with a much larger 18" basin and ties in into a 6" line I installed in the back last year. A small wall was built to corral the water and creek flats were place around the basin to curtail erosion.
