Common drainage problems in Katy
Flat Katy Prairie land
Katy sits on old prairie with almost no slope, so rain spreads out and sits.
Topsoil that stays wet
Prairie soils here can hold water near the surface after heavy rain.
Heavy Gulf storms
Big Gulf Coast downpours can overwhelm yards and gutters fast.
Roof runoff near the slab
Downspouts can dump water by the foundation, where it pools on flat clay lots.
