My boss told me tonight that he was digging a hole in his yard and the ground was still frozen at about 10-12 inches deep. The rain may not be able to soak into the ground like it would in the spring or summer. Sorry to hear about your bad luck.

How deep is the basement? Would it be possible to excavate the foundation wall to the footing and then waterproof it, as well as repairing/replacing the foundation drain tile?
Thats a lot of work, but in my experience that is the only sure fire way to repair these types of issues.. If you do excevate and waterproof the foundation walls email me and I can give you some advice on what materials will work best.. I don't sell the products but my company has 20 years experience in commercial construction foundation waterproofing systems.. I'll pm you my email addy. |

I don't see slag digging in the ground unless somebody buried a stolen DVD there.

The slow melting snow has saturated the ground. Even a small amount of rain becomes run off. Samie Parker has a tongue like a frog.
