Best way to drain water away from house

drainagefrench-drain

When we get rain the water flows off the cement slabs and drains into the space between the pavers. This is a small amount of water, but enough that a leak has formed in the basement. We are taking care of the crack in inside and now we want to take care of the issue outside. I am planning on doing a channel drain. I am not sure how I should drain water away from that point. Any suggestions or help?

You should cut back the pavers and run a buried channel drain along the edge of the concrete slab(s), away from your structure. Terminate it far from the home in an area where it won't cause harm.
