Water pooling in driveway - causing bowing basement walls in this side of house - solutions?
It's a bit hard to tell from the photos, but if you look close and look for the raindrops you can see where there is a low spot in the driveway causing pooling water. Unfortunately all the water from the back patio drains this direction. This side of the basement has a bowing wall, 1 inch, presumably from water + maybe the weight of the driveway or some combination. I'm looking for solutions to this - I feel like just adding asphalt would just move the issue, or look like crap. Can I just cut some sort of drainage into the driveway down to where the slope becomes better (it flows well past the downspout you can see). Maybe a long-wise channel drain? Open to ideas. submitted by /u/JacketBeneficial1118 [link] [comments]
