Map the house, lawn, and outlet
Record whether a wet lawn area is lower than the house, whether a downspout discharges into a planting bed, and whether runoff crosses a drive or walkway. A simple sketch can reveal where a route changes direction.

Questions from Amelia County homeowners
What should I record after an Amelia County storm?
Note how long the water remains, the highest point where it enters, and whether the same area is wet during dry weather. Those observations help distinguish runoff from persistent saturation.
Can a surface drain be placed anywhere water pools?
No. It needs an appropriate low point, pipe route, discharge location, and maintenance access. A grate without a workable outlet may move the problem.
