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!

I always thought that window wells are constructed with perimeter drain pipe extending up the wall vertically into the well to drain the well? Is this not the case on all homes? Only newer homes....

I think it depends on when the house was built. I believe they do that standard now w/ new home construction. But, as far as older homes, (like ours... built in '65), we don't have any perimeter drain pipes. We do, however, have a sump pump in the lowest area of our basement, but that SOB doesn't kick on unless the water table is extremely high.

was up until 4 a.m. bailing water out of my basement

started even leaking through the seams in the basement foundation

have double sump pumps and they could barely keep up. Backup battery went dead ... if power had gone out for even an hour the basement would of been a swimming pool.

As it was i had about an inch of water with me bailing like i was in a row boat during a monsoon.

i'm tired and bitchy

Grandpa was smart enough to make the basement floor concave so that everythings runs to a big drain.

I pulled 6 gallons of water out of our carpet this morning. I'm hoping fans and a dehumidifier can take care of the rest. I'll tell our landlord, but there probably isn't much he can do.

Thankfully we don't live in Oklahoma City.

Water still sucks.

2 inches of water in the basement of our soon to be new house. Luckily, unfinished basement. Of course I have all the drywall purchased through the contractor sitting down there....oh well....his problem, not mine. He should of gotten the house all sealed up 3 weeks ago.

3 offices at work with water in them.

Been extracting water all morning and I'm already tired.


Well played water.....well played.

I fixed all the drainage problems on my yard ( 1 acre) by going out side during the rain storm and tracking the flow of ground water. Diverting the water is the best way to fix the problem but there are times where this can't be done.

You do know that you can dig your sump pump hole deeper and add another pump if you want.
