You have a hole somewhere that water can leak in?

Tell the basement to go outside to relieve itself.

Don't listen to the people who are going to suggest pouring buckets of antifreeze on the floor.

Unfortunately... I'm in the same boat as you tonight.
My roof is leaking and I've been putting it off for a while now. Can't take it anymore and prolly gonna get a new roof on ASAP. |

Sorry to hear that wutamess. I just moved into this house about 7 months ago, and while we have had some rain, nothing nearly as bad as tonight. I've been looking around and not one place in the house has leaked. So I'm happy about that.

It's probably a little late for this, but always make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of debris. Clogged and overflowing gutters can send lots of water where you don't want it.

It happens, Slag. Make sure your yard runs AWAY from the house. Sometimes it settles and creates a collection area around your foundation. When it has nowhere else to go eventually it penetrates.

I had a sump pump system put in that included the trenches around the base of my walls, with vinyl coverings on the walls. If water leaked in any cracks, it would run down the back of the vinyl into the trench to the sump pump. My basement has been dry going on three years now, and I actually considered stocking my basement it was so wet.

Good point. When I first put my bid in, one thing that I had him do was to have the ground around the perimiter of the house be sloping away from the foundation before I bought it.
