Temporary Fix for my Backyard Flooding Issue (UPDATE)
What happens here
Take a flexible, green corrugated plastic downspout extension (often found at hardware stores) and connect it to the existing white downspout coming from the roof gutter. Carefully position the extension into the excavated trench, ensuring it follows the slope and directs water away from the house and into the deeper part of the trench. This temporary extension helps guide the water efficiently.
Goal: Attach a flexible, corrugated plastic downspout extension to the existing downspout and position it within the newly dug trench.
