Runoff pressure checker

high runoff pressure

This frontage has strong runoff pressure and should be treated as a drainage-first job.

• Runoff is not being sent into a permeable area, so standing water pressure is more likely.
• This is a non-permeable surface, so water has fewer ways to escape naturally.
• Poor fall usually increases pooling and pushes more water toward weak edges.
• Heavy shade can slow drying and make wet patches linger for longer.

What to do next

• Budget for a proper channel drain, soakaway or other drainage path before final surfacing.
• Consider a more permeable build-up or surface if the current layout is trapping water.
