After working to eliminate water problems in the back of this house, I have started to tackle some less severe problems on the side of the house. What you see in the photos below is basically a "water trap"-the area enclose by the house and brick walls needs more positive drainage for the water to get out during heavy rains. I am installing 2 French Drains..one down the center and one against the house. There will also be a solid 4" line installed that will drain a condensation line coming out of the basement-this line will also tie into a 9" drop inlet to remove excess water quickly. The entire area will be regraded for positive drainage then a ground cover of small pea gravel will be the final step.
