Variations on a French drain will not work. The biggest problem is getting the water out of the ground and to the surface.
Moving is not an option unless someone is willing to donate the $350,000 it'll take to get me another house with a two car garage and attached machine shop. I'll have this place paid off in 5 years.

The street behind mine does not have storm drains either.
We are brothers and sisters doing time on the planet for better or worse. I'll take the better, if you don't mind. - Stu Harmon
