In this video, civil engineer David Recht takes a closer look at a sunken grate or drain at the Homewood Suites in Mobile, Alabama, explaining how he would approach fixing it. He points out signs of an underlying brick structure and an asphalt overlay, then walks through a straightforward, durable solution: bringing the grate back to the correct elevation using a small concrete pour or a grade ring before finishing it with asphalt. The clip offers a quick, practical example of how experienced engineers diagnose and solve real-world infrastructure issues without unnecessary complexity.
