Fixing a Water-Pooling Concrete Entryway: Regrade or Drain

Question: Neighbor poured concrete over dirt at my front entry; now it pools water like a pond. Realtor was baffled. Adding gutters, but area stays mossy and ugly. Can I send photos?

Answer: Two Fixes—Regrade & Repour, or Install Drainage

If concrete pools water, the only permanent fix is removal, regrading, and repouring with a minimum 1.5–2% slope to drain.

If regrading is impossible (trees, walls, plants), install drainage pipe and an area drain. Products at ndspro.com and local home/garden centers.

Good luck!
