Slow the route before it reaches the house
Look for water entering from an uphill area, accelerating beside a drive, collecting at a foundation bed, or cutting soil below a downspout. The first visible puddle may be downstream from the real source.

Questions from Appomattox County homeowners
What should I ask before sending water toward a ditch or culvert?
Ask who controls the outlet, whether it can accept additional flow, and how erosion will be prevented. A proposed discharge needs to be evaluated at the property and outlet together.
Does a quote request choose the drainage system for me?
No. Describe the timing, source, path, and affected area. The appropriate next step depends on the observed conditions and a workable outlet.
