Anyone have recommendations on a nice affordable set? Thank you!

Yes had water from the back out to the street. Had to build a plank walkway from curb across driveway to front porch steps. The flooding in the street was a result of the collapsed drains which were fixed that year. No street flooding since then. Township engineer is supposed to swing by...

Pad and footing are all one. 2 course of cinderblock on top. In 2010 we had water above the cinderblock by a few inches. My guess and I need to get an engineer out here to prove it is that when the new development went in and they raised the property over there, the berm acts as a dam so to...

They do. The storage place basin is near full. The new development basin is ok so far. Who knew back in early 90s this would be a problem some 20+yrs or so later? But it is what it is and now we have to find a suitable solution that doesn’t break the bank. I’m wondering if bringing in an...

That is a wooden fence (not mine). Directly behind the fence is a berm for the drainage basin at the storage place. This pic is looking over the fence. The storage place was not there when we built. It was all woods. In one of the pics above that shows my neighbors house, you can see the tree...

No water in garage yet. Water is starting to recede. However heavy rains forecasted Thursday night into Friday. I think that will push over the edge. I did get everything off the floor and put up high so now worries about that this time around. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal...

Couple more pics from last night. Today looks like starting to recede. Im wondering if more feasible to pour a new higher pad in front of current and move garage onto it? Or is it better to just jack garage up and add new course and floor on top of existing? Did not get a warm fuzzy watching a...

Yep permits were done way back in the early 90s. Neighbors are impacted too. Also directly behind be is a storage facility. Where their property butts up to mine and the neighbors is a basin they put in. Its damn near to capacity. And back in 2010 it overflowed. Ive contacted the township to...

Lets try some pictures

Hopefully this makes post number 5.

We pumped water for several weeks. Township found that the drainage in the development was antiquated and collapsed in several areas. They put a whole new system in and we had been fine since. Until now.

There used to be a farm next to our development which was pretty much level with us. When the farm was sold to a developer back in 08 or so, the built the damn property up several feet and built a adult community there. In 2010 the whole county experienced severe flooding issues to include us...

Im in NJ. Township said there was a “stream” or something on the maps they have but its not like you walk back there and see a creek or what not. Its always been dry or damp.

Hi folks. Need some advice on how to deal with backyard flooding that is affecting my garage. First some background. We bought the house back in 92. Cleared the land and built garage a couple of years later. My lot is roughly 89’ wide and 320’ deep and slopes down from street to back. In 2010 we...

So how much all told do you think you have invested? I have my own nightmare of backyard flooding happening as we speak. Might either tear garage down or lift it.
