This anisotropicplus video shows how we used a French Drain to block excessive rainwater from flooding the portion of our house built on a slab.

We decided to use a French Drain design combined with an in ground outdoor sump pump to protect the house. It works great! French drain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_drain
