Hello, all. Just wanted to get a few suggestions on a house that I am looking at buying. It was flooded about 2 weeks ago when we got about 5 inches of rain in one morning. There ended up being roughly 6 inches of water in the house. It is also not in a flood zone. If you're standing in the driveway and looking out at the other houses in the round-about, you can tell that the house is the low point in the neighborhood. Now, there is about a 10 yard long metal covered drain in the street right in front of the house. This street drain has a large (probably 3 feet in diameter) culvert that runs right under the property to a large concrete drainage ditch behind the house. I am a little bit worried that this is going to happen again. What other options are there to solve this problem? Do you have to lobby the city to improve the drainage capability or is it a lost cause? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
