We have clay soil on our property that drains very poorly and we believe is contributing to water in our crawl space during the wet months (we are in the PNW). We dug several holes around the perimeter of our house after some light rain and they had standing water in them within an hour that persists. Under the shed water often pools. We are in the process of re-doing our downspout drainage with new piping to ensure that is not contributing to the problem. They are currently all feeding to a pop up emitter in an alley that runs along our back fence line which is the lowest spot in our backyard. Any recommendations on how to remedy the drainage issue to keep water away from the house?
