I have a drainage problem at one corner of an attached garage. I installed an oversize downspout, but I need some way to divert that water as far away as possible, preferably to the street about 35-40 feet away.
I'm thinking of going with an adapter to attach 4" flex pipe and run it down the edge of the driveway to the street. There should be enough drop to make it run, that is, if I don't bury it.
I don't mind too much with it showing. Hopefully this will be a temporary fix until I figure out how to build the ground up after the slab is poured at the rear corner of the garage. I intend to bring in some dirt and raise that whole area up higher than the surrounding terrain. I have a serious problem there, causing the foundation and garage floor to sink.
I do not as yet have a plan as to how to address the damage, but in the mean time I must keep that area dry.
Does anyone have a better idea than this? I don't really want to bury anything because street level just will not accommodate it. This must work regardless of how it looks and I have the additional problem of one of my wife's favorite flower beds on that corner and do not want to cause discord with her.
