Ponding Water Case Study

A homeowner was worried that water pooling in their yard and on their driveway indicated a problem that could threaten the house’s foundation. They turned to Donan Engineering for a licensed engineer familiar with engineering and building best practices, who provided:
- Building Code Knowledge: The engineer’s understanding of applicable residential building codes concerning proper grading and drainage allowed them to assess the property for compliance.
- Site Documentation: By recording their observations and precise measurements taken with calibrated tools, Donan’s engineer provided necessary evidence for next steps.
- Actionable Conclusions: The engineer’s conclusions empowered the homeowner to reach out to responsible parties for any necessary corrections.
