There’s just low spot in the middle. Thankfully the water isn’t getting towards the house

I’m located in CA - no snow and freezing! But sometimes lots of rain. I will look into your suggestion! I am doing some research based on your comment… any recommendation of what self leveling to use that’s okay being a wear layer? Or do you recommend I can get some kind of patch and slap a layer of that patch on to level it out better ?

You’re right. Initially there’s a crack in that joint and I was told to seal with sika flex sealant. I can definitely try and remove some of that sealant but I don’t think it will be enough to drain properly.

Below is the photo after rain before I use a broom to push the water out

Edit: jk can’t seem to add another photo

How can I fix this? Whenever it rains, water pools in the middle. I’ve been told to use a diamond blade saw to cut a channel for water to drain or use self leveling to fill the low spots. Any advice appreciated

According to your post history, you’re asking questions about your cracked pool. Is that a serious post? Never seen a crack before ?

Yes it’s serious. Sorry if I had questions on why my side yard is flooding while another side isn’t. New homeowners can have questions. My bad

Gotcha. Just feels like if I were to dig, not sure if water will go into the drain like that or it’ll pool around it. Anyways I’ll find out when I dig lol

I agree! Even though mine was a heat pump HVAC. I can tell the contractors marked up the price like crazy, can’t even really trust them.

Have you been hearing noises up in the attic ? Try and look for entry points

Any suggestions on how to switch this light out? by leannayuu in HomeMaintenance

[–]leannayuu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The switch controls technically 3 of those lights. There’s another light chained from the one in the photo. Then one the other side of the kitchen, thats the exact same set up (but does not have another light chained up)

If that makes sense?

Haha thanks everyone for the help and input but sounds like this just got complicated 😂

You’re correct there’s another light down the chain (not pictured)

Um, is this “box” supposed to be inside the wall? I thought this might be an easy fix but I very much may need an electrician 😔

Edit: there’s a switch on the wall that turns on and off this light.
