Divert gutter into garage gutter or keep downspout and cut driveway?

Hello all, I am looking for suggestions. I have recently had water getting into my basement and fixed a shotty piece of downspout, but found out that it appears a section under the driveway is either broken or plugged. Water is going somewhere and I’m pretty sure it’s getting diverted over to the sump and not discharging out the side like it should. I feel like my options at this time is to either cut the driveway and fix the issues there or just drop the downspout into the garage gutter and eliminate everything existing. What would you do in this situation? submitted by /u/burkins89 [link] [comments]
