Fixing grading issue
im trying to avoid digging and putting in a drain pipe if i can as that is more work. I already graded this dirt area last year (this is an old pic. There is grass now), i still have water leaking in the basement. I feel like there is a few restrictions that prevents me from grading more. The limestone by the window, ac condenser and neighbor’s driveway. The circled area is where the water comes down from in the basement. . There is a bit of trench in the line drawing. Should i raise the grade up to bottom half of the limestone and towards the end of driveway? Itd cover the base of the ac condenser. *if digging is the only option then what do you suggest? submitted by /u/Huhwhatumeanman [link] [comments]
