[quote=Anonymous]We were down-slope from another house and did take on a lot of rainwater in a storm. They have since renovated in put in dry wells. BUT, in the meantime, we probably spent $30k+ on regrading to put in swales to direct water around the house and then to upgrade gutters. All of that work made a big difference in how the water moved around the house AND we were able to flatten out a nice rectangular spot for playing, running, etc. Had the sellers and their realtor properly disclosed how many water problems they had (a flooded basement within a short period of time of selling and rainwater into the garage), we probably wouldn't have bought the house. But we love it and have fully fixed the issues.[/quote]
