Drainage problems to document.
- Standing water after rain
- Low spots, birdbaths, and depressions
- Drain inlets sitting high, low, or settled
- Water flowing through accessible stalls or routes
- Recurring potholes near drains, curbs, or edges
- Runoff crossing entrances, walkways, or tenant paths
Why drainage changes the repair decision.
A patch can fail fast when the water source remains. Overlay work can also change flow lines, tie-ins, and accessible routes. Drainage should be understood before approving repair, sealcoat, overlay, or restriping.
