Why winter runoff matters in Poway
Most of the year's rain falls between November and March, often in a few heavy storms. Hillside lots of decomposed granite shed that water fast, and it heads for whatever sits downhill: a patio slider, a garage door or the edge of the slab.
- Creeks. Homes near Poway Creek, Rattlesnake Creek and the canyon bottoms see water first when channels run high.
- Slopes. A house cut into a hillside catches runoff unless a swale carries it around.
- Drains. Area drains clog with granite silt and leaves, then water ponds against the walls.
- Roofs. Tile sheds rain, but the underlayment beneath it ages out and leaks in the first big storm.
If storm water already got in, see storm runoff and flash flood cleanup and roof leak water damage. The Ready.gov flood page covers household flood preparation, and the National Weather Service San Diego office posts storm watches.
