City of Hammond MAIS

This alley floods during every rainstorm and continues to sit until it evaporates. Any chance a new drain can be added along it to minimize the constant floods? It’s difficult to bring trash to garbage cans when water collects in low points where drainage is not available for water to exit.

I tried calling the sewer line but wasn't able to get a option to leave a message or talk to a actual person. With the forecast showing continuous rain for the entire weekend, this alley needs to be pumped today if possible. This is a well documented flood alley that needs an actual sewer not just a French drain.

Can anything be done about this? There is a grassy area between the garages on Kenwood and Janet Place that floods when we have a lot of rain. It has gradually gotten worse over the years and sometimes the water is almost up to my garage door.

TLDR: Can someone help with water that's running from the City alley on to my property, causing damage?

For the past 17 years, water in the alley has been running and collecting around my garage and patio. Over the years, it's caused water rot one of the corners of the garage frame - causing a little damage the pain, siding. When it rains hard, it completely saturates the backyard - and runs over our patio, down our sidewalk (which we already replaced once) and into the front storm drain!

Keep in mind - our house is such an elevation that it does not require a sump pump.

We tried sandbagging, drylok paint, shop vac, rocks, even a giant squeegee to push the water back into the alley...and just chalked it up to one of bad things about the house. We thought about getting a dry well installed.

However...last summer, we watched as the City installed a Dry Well on the south end of the alley for someone who was having a similar problem.

Is this something that you can fix?!

Thanks.

due to lots of rain, lots of standing water in alley & there is an odor and water will be a breeding ground for mosquitoes. what is being done to allow water to drain into sewer?

Water in Alley not properly draining towards the sewer. The alley is paved too high behind these houses and water fails to drain resulting in constant flooding during periods of rain. Please investigate

Please have this resolved as soon as possible as this has been reported by many neighbors and we are being redirected to call and it goes to voicemail redirect this to correct department also

Alley behind by house floods on rainy days. Water is starting to get into my garage.

Water doesn’t even. Go down drain. Good job again. Tom

When ever it rains water is not making it to the sewer along curb, leaving behind a mud puddle. The alley also is left with a pond right behind this address and also down the alley. The asphalt is beginning to deteriorate.
