Hello, recently, during a rain, I had a flood. Wouldn't have happened if there hadn't been debris in the drain cover. However, wouldn't have happened if I wasn't at the lowest point of three houses. Right, when the neighbors say that they aren't having trouble, it's because their water can flow down to my driveway. So here's my thought: I want to cement a 2 cinderblock long mini wall on my side of the property line. Wife might like that for putting the basket of clothes for hanging. It will most certainly cause less strain on my drain. (I have to keep it absolutely clear or I pay) My piping is great, but crap drifts and it could be a plastic bag or such that causes my trouble. Overnight is a long time for accumulation and I wake to "splat splat" when i go to get something from the back of the basement.
So, what do i do? Remove grass, do some scarifying? Will hydrolic cement hold cinderblocks? Ihave loads of that stuff. Thanks for the advice. The backs of the houses look like block or I'd love to use brick. Any advantage to either?
