FAQ
What does Stormwater Consult do?
Stormwater Consult provides expert advice for drainage, runoff, and stormwater management problems. We help homeowners, developers, engineers, and municipalities understand why flooding or erosion happens and what solutions are best for their site. Consultations are available across the U.S., Canada, the U.K., and Australia.
How does the virtual stormwater consultation process work?
Our process is simple:
-
You email us to schedule an introductory call.
-
We discuss your site and confirm whether our service is the right fit.
-
You send us a short video or photos showing the problem area.
-
We review your materials and schedule a phone consultation to explain what’s causing the issue and what actions to take.
This remote process saves you time and travel costs while providing expert guidance.
Who can benefit from your service?
We work with:
-
Homeowners with drainage or flooding problems
-
Builders and contractors needing stormwater compliance advice
-
Developers and engineers designing new sites
-
Property managers and municipalities seeking expert review
What types of problems can you help solve?
Typical stormwater and drainage issues include:
-
Yard flooding or standing water
-
Basement or foundation drainage problems
-
Erosion control and slope stabilization
-
Site runoff and detention design questions
-
Stormwater inspection and maintenance planning
Do you need to visit my property in person?
Usually, no. Most consultations are done virtually using client-submitted photos and videos.
However, on-site inspections are available in select areas or for complex projects where in-person review is needed.
How long does the consultation take?
Intro calls are typically 15–20 minutes.
After receiving your site video, most consultations last 30–60 minutes, depending on project complexity.
You’ll receive clear recommendations and next steps before the call ends.
What do I need to prepare before the call?
Please have:
-
A short phone video showing the problem area and surroundings
-
Your property address or site plan (if available)
-
Notes on when and how the issue occurs (e.g., after heavy rain, seasonal patterns)
How much does a stormwater consultation cost?
Each consultation is tailored to the scope of your project.
After the intro call, we’ll confirm pricing before you commit. There’s no charge for the initial vetting call.
Do you provide written reports or design plans?
Yes. After your phone consultation, you can request a written summary report or concept drainage plan. These are optional add-on services quoted individually.
What areas do you serve?
We provide stormwater consulting nationwide in the United States and remotely in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
For larger or specialized projects, we may also offer on-site services internationally by arrangement.
How do I schedule an intro call?
Simply email us at jscotthart@gmail.com or use the contact form on our website.
We’ll reply with available times for your introductory call.
What makes Stormwater Consult different?
We combine over 40 years of stormwater engineering and field experience with a modern, virtual consultation process.
Our goal is to give you clear, actionable guidance — without unnecessary site visits or expensive design retainers.
