Water MRI Features

From an address to the fix, in one storm.

Water MRI builds the property in 3D from public records, runs a 25-year storm across it, and shows where the water goes: where it stands, how deep, for how long, and what changes with a drain in place.

Nothing is charged when you request. You book with Florida Aqua Solutions, the drainage contractor that makes Water MRI. On their form it is called the $89 drainage assessment: it includes your Water MRI flood simulation.

01 · Address to 3D model

Type an address. The lot builds itself.

The ground comes from public elevation data (lidar), the lot lines from parcel records, and the roof and surfaces from the aerial photo. Nothing is installed at the property.

  • The build, step by stepAddress, lidar, home, aerial, surfaces, system, storm, ready.
  • Surfaces that matter to waterRoof, pavement and planted ground shed and soak rain differently.
  • The ground as surveyedContours and low spots before a drop of rain.

02 · The 25-year storm

One storm, minute by minute.

Rain from NOAA Atlas 14 for the property's location: in Orlando, a 5-minute peak of about 10 inches an hour and about 7.5 inches in 24 hours. Water leaves the roof, crosses the lot and stands where the ground is low.

  • Where it standsA depth map of every low spot, in bands an owner can read.
  • How deepThe deepest water in the storm, and the deepest within 10 ft of the house.
  • For how longA storm clock runs the event, so you see when water arrives and how long it stays.

03 · Roof water

The roof is the first flood.

Most of the water on a lot starts on the roof. Water MRI routes it through the gutters and downspouts and shows where each one lets go.

  • Gutters and downspouts in the modelEach downspout's water, followed to where it lands.
  • Assumed, and said soWhere they cannot be seen from the air, they are marked "assumed, not seen" until confirmed on site or from photos.
  • Tied in or notDownspouts tied into a drain are shown as tied in.

04 · The fix, side by side

Try the fix before the dig.

A Florida Aqua Solutions tech lays out the drainage in the model, then runs the same storm again: as the property is today, and with the system. The plan you get has already been run through the same storm.

  • Lay out a drainPipe runs and surface inlets drawn where the water stands.
  • X-rayThe ground and the home fade so the buried runs show. X-ray shows the pipes drawn in the model, not pipes already in the ground.
  • Today, and with the systemThe same 25-year storm, both ways, with the deepest spot before and after.

05 · When the data runs out

It tells you what it doesn't know.

Public data is not perfect. Where Water MRI has to assume, it says so on screen, and Florida Aqua Solutions checks in person when more accuracy is needed.

What the air can't see

Gutters, downspouts, doors and windows are placed where they are likely to be and marked on screen: "assumed, not seen. Confirm on site or from photos."

The lot is dry

It says so: "No standing water of note on this lot." No problem is invented to sell a fix.

Water reaches the house

The deepest water within 10 ft of the house is reported on its own, apart from the rest of the lot.

Something changed after the survey

A new patio, a regraded yard or an addition built after the elevation data was flown is not in the model. That is when a field assessment checks in person.

You know something the data doesn't

Add photos and mark problem spots: where water came in, where it always stands.

Pipes already under the ground

They can't be seen from the air. X-ray shows the pipes drawn in the model; what is already buried is confirmed on site.

Where does the model come from?

Public elevation data (lidar) and parcel records for the address, with the aerial photo for the roof and the surfaces. Nothing has to be installed at the property.

What happens when the gutters cannot be seen from the air?

Water MRI places them where they are likely to be and says so on screen: assumed, not seen, to confirm on site or from photos.

What if the lot has no problem?

It says so: no standing water of note on this lot.

Can it see pipes under the ground?

No. X-ray shows the pipes drawn in the model, such as a proposed drain. Pipes already buried at the property are confirmed in person.

Is it an engineering report?

No. It is a planning model of one property in a design storm. It is not an engineering report, a survey, an elevation certificate, a flood-zone determination or insurance advice.
