Water collects near the foundation of teh house , how to get rid of , so that it does not affectthe foundation

Question

During rain water collects around teh house , i am worried it will affect teh foundation, what alternative steps can be taken

Answer 1

Make sure you have good gutters in place. No leaks and have a proper spot for the downspout to relocate the water away from your house. Make sure you have a 6' or so end piece to get it away from the foundation.

You also want to make sure the ground is sloped away from your house. Bring in extra dirt to build it up so the  water drains away from it.  Some will still cover it with rocks, just make sure you drain it away from the basement.

Answer 2

If you don't have gutter check that out if you do french drain or build up redirect with soil.

Answer 3

Gutters and down spout, attach a longer pipe to the down spout to carry the water away from the house....
