It has been an <br />ongoing problem that has only goen worse as the drainage hose deteriorated to the summer discharge over the last 18 <br />years. In 2022, Innovave Basement installed interior drain ƌĻ źƓ ƚǒƩ ŅǒƩƓğĭĻ ƩƚƚƒͲ ğ ƓĻǞ ƭǒƒƦ ƦǒƒƦͲ ğƓķ ЊБ͸ Ǟğƌƌ <br />anchors. We waited unl spring 2023 to have the buried discharge installed outside. At that me Innovave Basement <br />ƦǒƷ źƓ ğ Ѝͼ Ʀǝĭ ƦźƦĻ Ʒƚ ƷŷĻ ĬğĭƉ ƚŅ ƚǒƩ ƦƩƚƦĻƩƷǤ ƌźƓĻ ğƓķ źƓƭƷğƌƌĻķ ğ ķƩǤ ǞĻƌƌ ƷŷğƷ ķźķ ƓƚƷ ǞƚƩƉ͵ hǒƩ ĬğĭƉǤğƩķ ŷğƭ ĬĻĻƓ <br />connually Ť ooded with standing water and the water connues to recycle with the sump pump going o every few <br />minutes. <br /> <br />Last summer Dan Schmitz came and met with the contractor and us to inspect the work at our request and advised us <br />that dry wells do not work in clay soil. We then consulted with Mark Statz in early February 2025. Mark recommended <br />that we either run buried drainage pipes across the back of our yard and our neighbors yard at 1682 Lakeland or run the <br />drainage pipes around the front of the house and under the sidewalk to e into the drain le behind the curb that runs <br />into the storm sewer. Mark also encouraged us to apply for the city grant for backyard drainage. <br /> <br />We received two bids. One from Innovave Basement and another from a landscaping company. Since I am currently in <br />North Carolina without a computer, I will forward both those bids to you separately. We are hoping to get the work <br />scheduled for the ŋ rst week of June. <br /> <br />I will also send you the completed applicaon for the grant. We have talked with our neighbors and they are ok with <br />having the drainage line run through their property. We are planning on taking the lowest bid which does not include the <br />same level of lawn restoraon, so we will need to do that landscaping work ourselves and pay for the materials and <br />equipment rental separately. <br /> <br />Please let me know if you have any quesons. <br /> <br />Thank you. <br /> <br />Anita Rios <br />1680 Lakeland Circle <br /> <br />Sent from my iPhone <br />1 <br />102 <br /> <br />
