So I was so excited I thought I fixed my water issue but after a not so hard rain , water came in from the direction I was sure I cured (i had removed a downspout years ago cuz it was on the driveway of entry to garage- bad idea I thought/ but as I reviewed my perimeter I realized an entry was possible, I recently put one of those diverter things to test and I noticed no water after that w/ hard rains). But its coming in-not as bad but its there again. Why with rain thats not as bad on one day vs last summer w/frequent rains-no water after my diverter.
Well all I can figure is whoever put up my eaves were not smart about planning drainage. Geez! Now Im also wondering if the deck over that side of house was also poorly planned for draining.
Does anyone have any input on how gutters should be on a 1000+ sqft house. If i have the right dimension/style. What determines where the downspouts are placed. Why would they put one over the the high traffic driveway? Is there an expert I can consult with? Why does it seem so hard to find someone who will look over my homes' deficiencies and direct me on who to contract. I do need to have my sump checked out is that a potential cause?
