My backyard in Portage slopes right toward the house and every heavy rain I can watch the water pool against the foundation before it eventually finds its way inside. I have tried grading the soil away from the house and adding downspout extensions but the basement still gets wet in the corner closest to the back yard. I think the issue goes deeper than what I can fix myself.

Is there a company in Porter County that specializes in exterior drainage and understands how to actually redirect water away from a foundation? Looking for someone with real local experience who can come out and assess what is actually happening around the perimeter of the house.
