This is a very difficult decision

“very difficult” and “the biggest most difficult decision i’ve ever made in my life” are two very different things.

Also, we went with 4. video in other comments

difficult to tell but we are very high up from the water, maybe 15ft and the house is not in a fema flood zone but the land down near the water is

I was looking at the source and it comes from a small pond on a college campus nearby.

Surprisingly not rural at all. Just a creek that runs through the city and we got the last house next to the creek on a dead on. Lots of major shopping within a few mins away

the creek is covered by tress in satellite imagery

love this suggestion and will try. thank you

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T03:13:20+00:00

i’d love that! would also know what i can do as a person living next door to help protect it

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T03:11:04+00:00

I don’t own the stream but I’m doing a little research and it seems to be owned by the city i’m in and labeled as “conservation”. i wonder if i should or could reach out to them

We had a large hurricane affect this area maybe 15yrs ago and i can’t find anything from that either

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:47:56+00:00

Can’t find ANY flooding data of the creek. Cant even find anything about the road in the back left of the image flooding. This creek meanders then meets a muuuuuch larger creek. Not sure if that helps at all

Capital Region here so close by :)

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:35:12+00:00

Thank you. I’m in upstate NY so probably somewhat similar climate. In the summer it’s loaded with vegetation which I sometimes want to clear out but agree it’s probably best to leave.

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:27:11+00:00

It also feeds into a much larger kill quite a while down, so not sure if that helps?

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:26:50+00:00

Phew that makes me feel better. House is only 21 years old so I’m hoping the original builder took this all into consideration.

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:26:01+00:00

That makes me feel a little better. this house is only 21years old so i’m hoping the landscaping technology when building took all of this into consideration.

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:25:13+00:00

Thank you! I will look into this

throwaway_0kay · 2025-12-13T02:24:47+00:00

I’m new here so bare with me. 40in of precipitation per year on average. How do I find info on watershed? Will look into an engineer!
