Hi everyone,
I recently noticed water pooling near my basement walls after heavy rain, and I suspect my downspout drainage might be the culprit. The downspouts direct water just a few feet from the foundation, and I'm worried this is causing seepage. I came across this guide https://www.solideavestrough.ca/downspout-drainage-basement-water-toronto/ and it has some tips, but I'd love real-world advice. Has anyone dealt with similar issues? What's the most effective and cost-effective way to ensure water is properly diverted away from the foundation?
Thanks in advance!
