Water sucks!
Friday evening, rain pours into our window wells. Leaves me with 1 1/2 feet of water in my wells before I realize. 2 inches of water in my - luckily unfinished - basement. Makes me clean up until 1:30am and makes me miss drinking beer.
Last night, God thinks I haven't had enough. Now, rain leaking in through the damn basement walls. I catch it early. But I'm have to go out in the pouring freakin' rain, with a broken shovel - damn dad took my good one - and dig trenches away from the house. 1 1/2 hours later, I made a little progress and the water leak is down to a dribble. DAMN YOU WATER!!! DAMN YOU! |

build a berm(hope that is the right term for a hump of dirt) around the foundation. Looks better than a ditch and the wife gets a new flower bed

I had the same problem about 4 years ago. Water came from all the neighbors into our backyard and went over the top of our window wells. Ended up putting a berm on the west side of our back yard and a waterway on the east side. We have a storm drain under our east fence and when we dug the waterway there just happened
