I'm thinking of connecting the non-perforated corregated drain line (4 or 6") to the downspouts,burying it and daylighting it in the backyard. Then maybe put in a french drain with perfed line at the bottom of the gravel-filled channel along the garage--maybe a foot away from the concrete. Another idea I'm wondering about is to dig away the dirt and to 'glue' a strip of rubber pond liner on to the edge of the concrete slab and up on to the cinder blocks. There is siding that comes down within 6 inches of the soil line so not much block is exposed. Right now the mulch almost touches the siding. Maybe there is some other way of dealing with this. So what's the best way to solve the problem?
