Need help with drainage problem
So, I'm a new home owner and I have a problem in my back yard. It has a little bit of a hill going towards my house and with heavy rain it gets into my basement right where the house attaches to the foundation. I need to build something in the back yard to deflect the water away from the house. What would that be, just a wall?
Thanks in advance.

Oh and make sure he adds perforated tile to the project. Some like to build French drain with just washed agregate.

if you are getting water over the foundation wall your grade is way too high at the house. You want minimum 4 inches, preferably 6 or more between the soil and siding.

Regrade the backyard, install a french drain if needed.
