Bigger gutters and surface drains in Grand Prairie

North Texas rain often arrives a month's worth at a time. DFW recorded 15.66 inches in October 2018, and in a month like that, a 5-inch gutter on a large roof spills at every corner while water stands on driveways and in low spots of the yard.

The fix usually comes in two parts: more capacity above, with 6-inch troughs and 3x4 downspouts, and somewhere for the water to go below, with surface drains at the low points tied into buried lines that carry it to the street or lower ground.
