A yard that turns to a lake after every rain is usually a grading, drainage, or soil problem rather than a single broken pipe. Finding the cause is the first step to fixing it.
The grading
Low spots and a grade that slopes toward the house let water collect where it should not. The fix is often reshaping the grade.
The downspouts
Roof water dumped at the foundation or onto a flat spot contributes the largest volume of yard flooding. Extensions and buried lines move it.
The soil
Clay soil absorbs water slowly, so heavy rain ponds on the surface even with good drainage. Amending the soil or adding a drain helps.
The drain
A clogged French drain, a failed catch basin, or a broken underground line can turn a working system into a flood. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older homes still have aging galvanized pipes In Braintree Town, an inspection finds the failure.
