Clear the clogged areaway drain.

Below-grade areaways at Camden rowhouse basement doors fill with leaves and trash, and their little floor drains clog solid. When the combined sewers surcharge in a storm, a blocked areaway becomes a bathtub against the basement door. Clearing the drain and grate keeps the next storm out of the basement.

Pay

$80 proposed

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

Before/after photos plus a drain water-test photo

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. Confirm the host invitation and remove all leaves, trash, and sediment from the areaway floor by hand with gloves.
2. Lift the drain grate and clear the drain throat until you can see or hear free flow.
3. Pour a bucket of clean water and confirm it drains away.
4. Reseat the grate and sweep the areaway clean.
5. Photograph the before, the water test, and the after with GPS and date.

What counts as done

• Before photo of the blocked drain with GPS and date
• Photo of the bucket test draining
• After photo of the clean areaway and reseated grate

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
