Common drainage problems in Sugar Land
Shrink-swell clay
Local clay cracks in drought and swells when wet, slowing drainage.
Levee-protected areas
Rain inside levee areas must reach ditches and pumps, so yards need a clear outlet.
Flat lots
Many lots have very little slope, so water has nowhere to run.
Heavy Gulf storms
Big Gulf Coast downpours can overwhelm yards and gutters fast.
