I live in South Texas, so this time of year our a/c runs quite a bit. I live in a 40 year old house and the A/C drains on the side of the house. With the constant use, there is a 3' x 3' mud bog where the a/c drains.
My primary concern is the foundation. Is this a cause for concern? Will this have a bad effect on my foundation? Secondarily, is there a good way to redirct the water?
Thanks for any tips.

Is the drain PVC? if so, you could run the drain futher away from the house or down another area.
I wouldn't worry about it otherwise.. I'd get one of those misquito doughnut that kills them.. and throw that in there to help keep them from growing in there.
