In most cases, the private property owner is responsible for
maintaining the portion of the drainage system located on their property
and solving localized problems. There are many ways to improve drainage.
Some are simple and inexpensive, while others are more
complex and costly. If you plan to contract out the work, be sure
to get more than one estimate and carefully evaluate different
alternatives. Prior to beginning any work, remember to call:
