I live in a house on a down slope, regular cement foundation, dirt crawlspace, not slab. On the down-slope side of the house, at one corner of the crawl space, a big muddy puddle of water tends to collect during heavy rains--about four inches high. Rest of the crawlspace is pretty dry. Four more inches and it would be hitting the top of foundation where cement meets wood. That's why I'm worried. I think it's just water meandering through the hillside rocks and coming up where nature wants it to. It seems like I should have someone put in a French drain at that spot and drill a small escape hole in the foundation. That way, water would just collect and flow out the hole. Not being a contractor or anything of the sort, does that sound like a reasonable solution?
