Came home and went to water the quail. Noticed that the crawl space door area was wetter than the ground around it. Opened the door and saw the crawl space has 2-4” of water in it. Oh shit. I know my house has a drainage problem the lot behind my house was a nursing home now torn down but when it was tore down they regraded this lot and raised it 4-8” making my yard the low spot. This house I’m renting to own from my dad until some legal issues are taken care of. I know the long term fix is to regrade my lot and get positive drainage I’m also not going to do that until I buy it.
The plan until then is to get the water out now, and regrade the crawl space to get any water that may enter into it flow to one spot. At this area I plan on installing a “bucket drain” with a sump pump, that I’ll run into my sewer line.
Anyone else have anything to add. Besides just grade it now
Pictures are hard to tell the grade from but I would like to add enough dirt to come within a couple inches of the top of the pond
