How old is the house? If it isn't too old there may already be a pipe
installed and the exhaust end could be plugged. You might dig around the
low end of the crawl space when the water is drained and see if you find a
pipe.

My house sits on a slope and the back right corner of my house is
about 3 ft lower then front left of my house. When we have heavy
rains, I will get water standing at the foundation in the back right
corner. The water will drain out within a day. I had the county come
out and look at it and they said that as long as the water is not
standing it was not a problem. My question is, could I install a
small drain (2" pvc pipe punch through the block and brick) through
the foundation to speed up the drainage of the water? I have diverted
all the gutters to get the water away from the house.
