how close to your house foundation is the water? You may need to dig a ditch to divert it. If it’s gone in a day or so and no water in basement (if you have one) your good. If it’s generating mosquitoes try mosquito bits...I’ve been putting the potting mix from my last years container garden up against the foundation of my house, sloped at about a 35 to 45 degree to hold off water. How ever you divert it away from your house, don’t make it your neighbors problem.
