I need to mitigate the water that is coming into my crawlspace. I have done this type of work in my teens and twenties. The problem I have is select the correct products and perform the correct actions.
I have a house that is 1 year old (New House). I have water getting into the crawlspace and I believe I can prevent it/control it by catching the water and diverting it before it gets to the crawlspace. Should I install some kind of drain tile along the foundation wall on top of the footing, next to the footing OR below the footing? OR should I install drain tile about 1/2/3 feet away from the foundation/footing.
And what products should I use? Vendors, models, etc.?
I have discovered that the quality of products vary. It seem like the home improvement stores sell the lower quality products to the unsuspecting home owner. But maybe that is a good as it gets.
I hope this enough information to get started.
Thanks.
