The drainage of downspouts and sump pump has been less than ideal at my house. The first step in getting water to drain away from my foundation is to bury a corrugated pipe to drain one downspout and my sump pump discharge line. This video will walk you through the complete project which hopefully you can use around your property to divert water away from your foundation.
