Why Lents Homes Need Drainage Done Right
Lents is one of Portland's fastest-changing neighborhoods, where original farm cottages sit beside brand-new townhome rows near the Green Line. Johnson Creek runs through the district and floods — which makes roof drainage a genuine neighborhood-scale issue, not just a per-house one. Every downspout we route away from the creekshed's saturated ground during storm season matters.

Local drainage reality
The Johnson Creek floodplain saturates fast in winter storms — properly extended discharge and functioning gutters directly reduce a real flood risk here.
The problems we see most in Lents:
- Johnson Creek floodplain saturation leaving nowhere for careless discharge
