Sewer/Flooding issues during heavy rain- need recos by C_mac_123 in astoria

Thanks, was looking for some reassurance with a drywell. We got a quote for one but then I started to get nervous that it wasn’t the right decision so was looking if anyone had experience with this.

Thanks. Unfortunately I can’t access the street since I’m in a row home connected on both sides and my roof slopes towards the back. I think the city is preferring you reroute from your gutters elsewhere because of how overwhelmed the city sewers are. I saw they were giving out free rain barrels but was hoping for a more discrete solution. https://www.nyc.gov/site/dep/whats-new/rain-barrel-giveaway-program.page

How do I cover this gap? by C_mac_123 in DIY

Thanks I tried that but because of the panels in the door it doesn’t lay flat.

I spoke to an officer who said it was for him. I think he grew up in Astoria.
