Yard Drainage, Grading & Downspouts in East Liverpool: what's different here
East Liverpool's homes are stacked on steep hillsides above the Ohio River, so rain runs downhill across yards and streets toward foundations below. Downspouts that empty onto the slope add to it.
Swales that catch water across the slope, French drains along the uphill side of the house, and buried downspout lines to a safe outlet move water around the foundation instead of into it.
Fixing surface water first often reduces the pressure on uphill basement walls that tend to leak and bow.
