We've just purchased a house which the home inspector informed us would
need at grading work done to the foundation on the back of the house or
we'd have a wet basement durring rain. We it seems our basement does in
fact get wet durring rain. I'm curious if putting a patio on this side
of the house (graded away from the foundation) might resolve the issue
or would a drainage system or flashing the foundation be better?
Thanks
