Homeowner states that recently her neighbors driveway and retaining wall were pouring out water and the cause was a PVC pipe coming out from the side of home and homeowner didn’t know where the water came from and called us out to investigate. Upon arrival homeowner greeted me and showed me the pipe coming out next to the condensers and I could see the ground was saturated and water still coming out to the neighbors driveway and retaining wall. Went into the crawl space and traced the pipe to a sump pump and took pictures. Homeowner states that she is wasn’t aware she had a sump pump and I explained that a combination of rain and the leak she is currently having from a backup lawn ornament that is leaking and saturating the ground is causing the pump to work harder and pouring it to the neighbors wall and driveway.
