How to Fix Back Yard Flood, DIY, Hurricane Matthew Emergency

Solving a back yard flood, especially right after a hurricane, can be difficult. Here in Florida, ground water (the water table) rises and water has no place to go. Yards are flat and gravity drains might not remove the water.

A Sump Pump is usually needed. A sump basin (the sump pit) is used to collect the water from drain lines in the yard and the pump lifts the water up and out to the street.

On this property, there is gravity from the rear yard to the street at the culvert under the driveway, but the 1/2 plus acre was totally underwater from the hurricane.

1st, If you can pump out the bulk of the water it makes it much easier to trench a gravity drain.

a good 1/3 horsepower pump will work to remove the water. Then trench a drain from the lowest point in the yard, and install a catch basin to collect the water.
