[quote=Anonymous]Where does the water go? Look for any signs of silt, rocks/sand pushed by water, and mold on hardscape that might indicate it's pooling. My house is on a slope - we have a terraced backyard with hardscape not unlike the house you posted. Our patio has a large drain along the "low edge" - patio is very slightly sloped left to right with drain at the end. Also have a French drain with ornamental rocks that aid water flow off the property towards neighbors' hardscape. Gutters drain into subterranean pipes that divert water to front of house. All that results in zero standing or draining water around house and (knock wood) no water issues in over 15 years.[/quote]
