Standing Water in YardAlabaster, Alabama
Alabaster's residential drainage requests tend to come from established subdivisions where the original site grading has been in place long enough for its weak points to show. Wet spots recur in the same locations every season, and homeowners usually know exactly where they are before anyone measures anything.
In many of these cases the culprit is not the lot as a whole but a specific combination: one downspout, one shallow depression, and no route out of it.

Localized problems deserve localized solutions. Scope is set by what the water is actually doing, not by the largest system that could be sold.
Property context
Original grading has settled and landscaping has been added and rebuilt over decades.
Problems are localized and predictable rather than lot-wide.
The gap beside the house often becomes the default drainage channel by accident.
