Start with the easy stuff: clean your gutters and extend your downspouts several feet away from the foundation. The ground should slope away from your house, ideally dropping about 6 inches over the first 10 feet. If water still collects, a French drain or regrading usually resolves it.
Hurricane season runs June through November, and even the leftovers of a tropical storm can dump several inches of rain on central Virginia in a single day. Clay soil can't absorb that much water fast, so runoff races toward low spots, foundations, and driveways. Checking your gutters, drains, and grading before late summer helps your yard handle the next big storm.
Regrading means reshaping the yard so it slopes away from the house, and it works best when the ground simply tilts the wrong way. A French drain, a gravel-filled trench with a pipe that carries water off, makes more sense when water collects in one soggy spot or seeps up from below. Plenty of properties around here benefit from both.
Heavy clay soil is the usual culprit, since it absorbs rain slowly and lets water sit on the surface. Poor grading, clogged gutters, short downspouts, and ground that heavy equipment squashed flat during construction can all make it worse. Low-lying lots near creeks and wetlands also tend to stay wet longer after storms.
Shut off the power to the flooded area if you can safely reach the breaker, and never walk through water near outlets or appliances. Move valuables up high, run a sump pump or wet vac if it's safe, and take photos for your insurance company. Once the water's under control, call a drainage contractor to find out where it's getting in so it doesn't happen again.
