That would be easier? I don't know that it would solve the problem, but at least it gives the water a place to go, then route that to the sump pump pit, and have it pumped out of the house that way. They have to put in a gravel base anyways don't they? Just a thought to run by them too, before they go for a huge expense of digging up the outside of the house. Might be a good idea anyways, cheaper to do it NOW, then in a year after the basement is done. lol. :)JaYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-10334370559035416152010-03-21T09:16:52.868-04:002010-03-21T09:16:52.868-04:00Get a BIGGER sump pump.. :)

The engineer showed up with his rubber boots and said he has seen it all before - nothing to worry about.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09933224703431682343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1189121861977780830.post-68627335340082682682010-03-20T13:15:49.755-04:002010-03-20T13:15:49.755-04:00Is it possible to run a weeping tile around the in...Is it possible to run a weeping tile around the interior perimeter of the house?
