Plan your stormwater before the rain arrives
A simple, three-phase planning rhythm built around your flow map. Tune everything to your rain concern — from a passing shower to a tropical downpour.
Start with a flow mapMap and clear
- Generate a flow map to see roof → gutter → downspout → yard paths.
- Plan clearing of debris and leaf load on the highest-priority runs.
- Note every yard low spot where water pools after rain.
Route and protect
- Confirm downspout outlets push water away from the foundation.
- Add splash blocks or extensions where the map flags returning flow.
- Re-check guard mesh on runs under heavy trees.
Observe and re-plan
- Walk the yard while it is still wet to confirm pooling spots.
- Update the low-spot brief and re-run the flow map.
- Re-rank priority tasks for the next event.
Keep water moving away from the house
The most common storm problem is water that loops back to the base of the house. Use the downspout path visual to plan extensions and grading so each outlet discharges well past the foundation line.
This is general planning guidance. It is not engineering, construction, or roofing advice, and Metrorooter performs no high-work or emergency service.
One map, five flow stages
From roof peak to yard basin, the flow map numbers each stage so your storm prep tasks map directly to a point on the diagram.
