What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A homeowner in Columbia reported that recurring drainage problems have caused water to enter his yard and crawl space, leading to damaged pipes and mold concerns. The resident, who has sought help since May 2025, filed a maintenance complaint with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, believing the agency is responsible for managing runoff in the area. The issues occur during heavy rain, separate from a recent water-main break that closed a nearby road.
