Know which drainage improvement leads deserve a site visit
Growers and ranchers describe the drainage issue type, affected acreage, and land ownership authority before you schedule anything, with photos of the standing water or failed system attached upfront so your crew knows exactly what they're driving into.
The exact intake your drainage improvement leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Drainage Improvement — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified drainage improvement lead should tell you
Assessment of standing water, erosion, or failed drainage systems on agricultural land, scoped by issue type, affected acreage, and whether the caller has authority to approve work on the property.
- Drainage Issue Experiencing
- How Large Affected Area
- This Drainage Problem Affecting
- Own This Land Or
- Any Drainage Work Been
- Soon Would Like This
- There Any Known Utility
The questions your team needs answered
Every drainage improvement intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of drainage issue are you experiencing? | Flooding near structures and existing system failures carry the highest weights in the catalog, so this answer largely sets how urgently the lead should be treated. |
| Approximately how large is the affected area? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| Is this drainage problem affecting crop production or land usability now? | A yes answer here (weight 9) signals an active production loss rather than a cosmetic issue, which should outrank leads that answer no (weight 4). |
| Do you own this land or have authority to approve drainage work on it? | This carries the single highest weight in the catalog (10 vs 1), because scheduling with someone who lacks authority to approve work risks sending equipment to the wrong acreage. |
| Has any drainage work been done on this land before? | Segments the lead so you can route, price, and prioritize it correctly. |
| How soon would you like this drainage work to begin? | Timeline distinguishes an active-season emergency from a caller planning ahead for next year, which changes how soon a site visit needs to be scheduled. |
| Are there any known utility lines, wells, or septic systems in the affected area? | Known utility lines, wells, or septic systems near the affected area change what a crew needs to plan for before digging or grading begins. |

Built for drainage improvement workflows
| Cliont capability | Drainage Improvement application |
|---|---|
| Weighted lead scoring | Flooding near buildings and existing drainage system failures carry the highest issue-type weights, so those calls surface above lower-weighted 'not sure' responses without your team sorting manually. |
| Photo and video capture | Callers upload images of the standing water or failed drainage area during intake, letting your crew assess acreage and severity before deciding whether a site visit is needed. |
| Authority verification | The ownership/approval-authority question is weighted at the top of the catalog, so tenants or unauthorized callers are visible in the lead record before a crew is dispatched to the wrong party. |
| Conditional routing | Answers about nearby utility lines, wells, or septic systems are attached to the lead record so scheduling can account for site hazards before equipment arrives. |
Common drainage improvement lead scenarios
Standing water hurting crop yield
The grower reports standing water in fields that's currently affecting crop production and confirms they own the land, which pushes the lead toward immediate priority.
Flooding near farm buildings
Flooding near structures is flagged as one of the highest-weighted issue types, so this lead surfaces ahead of routine acreage inquiries.
Erosion across a large parcel
Erosion or runoff on more than 10 acres, planned for next season rather than now, gets routed differently than an urgent standing-water case even though both score as high value.
Tenant without approval authority
A renter or property manager inquires about drainage work but answers no to having authority to approve it, a distinction the intake surfaces before anyone books a site visit.
Prior system that's failed again
An existing drainage system that no longer works, paired with an unknown answer on nearby utility lines, tells your crew to plan for investigation, not just installation.

Drainage Improvement lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake stop us from scheduling with someone who can't approve the work?
The intake asks directly whether the caller owns the land or has authority to approve drainage work, and that answer carries the highest weight in the catalog, so leads without approval authority are visibly flagged before you send anyone out.
Will we know the size of the affected area before quoting?
Yes, the intake captures whether the affected area is under 1 acre, 1 to 10 acres, or more than 10 acres, so you can gauge equipment and crew needs before the site visit.
What happens if the caller isn't sure what type of drainage problem they have?
The catalog includes a 'Not sure' option for issue type that still carries meaningful weight, so uncertain callers still route through as a lead worth a follow-up call rather than being dropped.
Does the intake warn us about utility lines or septic systems before we dig?
Yes, the intake asks whether there are known utility lines, wells, or septic systems in the affected area, so your team has that information ahead of scoping the visit.
How does urgency get reflected when someone wants work done ASAP versus next season?
The intake asks how soon the caller wants work to begin, and combined with whether the drainage issue is currently affecting crop production, that lets you separate acute cases from planning-ahead inquiries.
How is this different from an erosion control inquiry?
Drainage Improvement intake questions focus on standing water, failed drainage systems, and flooding near structures, while Erosion Control is a separate sibling subservice for runoff and soil loss on its own; overlapping cases still route based on the issue type the caller selects here.
