I have issues with groundwater coming in after heavy rains. Luckily no mold issues.

How much did it cost you?

Just pump some sand and fill the low spots.

Dig a trench or a French Drain

Do you have gutters on your house? Is the yard graded away from the house?

Air flow under is your friend if you have a lot of moisture.

I have gutters and a French drain. The problem is I live in a low spot and it’s the level of the groundwater coming up which makes the drain useless. I have good ventilation and that’s why I don’t have any mold.

I think it may be an issue when I go to sell the house in a few years. The last owners didn’t tell me the extent that the water accumulates.
