I guess what I'm looking for is how I'd confirm if that's the case?

Stick a garden hose in and see how far it goes. If it only goes 6-8 feet it's probably going down to the footing. If it keeps going, it's maybe a french drain.
You could also leave the hose running and wait and see if your neighbours come running out of their houses soaked.
