becarfull with it.

I once built an extension on a house with a spring running under the house.

after years it washed away some parts of the hardcore between the founds.

If you divert any of it near you foundations it can cause damage and promote damp in your house.

. But if its far enough away then you will have to start digging to assess it first.
