How Can I Fix Water Pooling Near My Foundation?

[pitvil@]

Hi everyone,

I’ve been noticing water pooling around the corner of my house after heavy rain, and I think it’s linked to my gutters. The issue seems to be a downspout drainage problem, as the water coming out of the downspout just sits next to the foundation instead of flowing away.

I’ve tried extending the downspout a bit, but it hasn’t fully solved the problem. Has anyone dealt with this before? What are the best ways to redirect the water safely and prevent foundation damage?

Any advice or DIY solutions would be really appreciated!
