Recently purchased a town house with a yard slope problem. The yard slopes towards the house causing water to run ito the basement. The house is concrete-slab foundation and brick construction.

can someone point me in the way of directions/advice on how to add soil/clay/etc...to increase the slope so water flows away from the house?

i dont think a drain is a good solution since, being a th, there is nowhere to drain the water to other than my neighbors yard.
