Our house is set on a slope, and this leads to some interesting water situations. Our patio/driveway are sloped slightly towards the house, because they are supposed to drain into a drainage channel/french drain that runs along the . Only problem is the drainage channel gets clogged with dirt/leaves easily and the french drain was ruined by the previous owner. Our front yard contains what is technically a dry stream bed that fills and drains into the active stream in our neighbor's yard. There is a large pipe under our driveway to allow it to flow when it does rain.
That tan stuff is water.
It was an inch and a half (about 4 cm) deep at my back step
It filled our driveway...
Which then flooded the garage....
And out front, the streambed was no longer dry
About an hour later, all the water was gone, with no visible sign of it ever having been there.
Easy come, easy go.
