[quote=Anonymous][quote]You don't want the lowest point against your foundation. A slope towards it but with a swale redirecting the water around the side is fine. Ideally, you'd want 10' or so shallow slope away from your foundation into that swale.[/quote] We have that situation. We've been here 23 years and never had basement flooding. The water basically drains toward the side yard (even though we have a slope towards the house) and we are also not at the low point in the neighborhood. Not a problem at all. [/quote]
