The puddle that comes back — or the drain that stopped
Standing water after rain is the visible bowl. Drainage repair signs matter when a line used to work. Do not assume a new French drain until the old outlet, pipe, and stone have been considered.
A grate sitting in the puddle only helps if the pipe leaving it still falls and still exits. A clogged or collapsed French drain can leave the same low point looking “unsolved” after someone already paid for a trench.
- The same puddle after typical rain
- A catch basin that silted in or no longer takes flow
- A French drain that used to dry the area and no longer does
- Water sitting at a true low point you can see even when it is dry
Surface drains, repair, and new collection
Catch basins and surface drains are the direct tool for water on top at a low point. French drain repair is the first conversation when a trench already exists. A new French drain is for saturation that a grate will not reach — with an outlet.
Yard drainage covers the case where the low point is fed by slope or roof water that also has to be moved.
Choosing the next step in Westbrook, ME
If you can photograph the pond, start with surface collection and outlet. If the pond is gone and the ground is still a sponge, think subsurface. If something was installed before, start with why it failed.
Catch basin vs. French drain keeps those two from being used as synonyms. The next step follows the water on that property.
