Had a foot of water in the basement last Monday. Got it all pumped out. Ran all the down spouts into the yard. They were piped into the tile around the foundation. Dug the tile up that runs to the ditch. Pulled 2 tile out and set a sump pump down there.
Today I am getting ready to go to work and see water coming up the drain again. I put a plug in the drain to stop it. There was about 3/4” on the floor only 6’ circle. Left for work and wife calls me 1 hr later. The whole basement is flooded again 2+” deep. I come home and get the pump going again.
We don’t have a sump pump pit it is natural drainage to the ditch. Something is plugging it at the house somewhere because the hold I dug just has a little water in it.
I bought a big power eel that has 100 ft of cable. Running it down all the different spots that go to the tile. No luck so far. $400.00 down the tube! That could have been a new Howa rifle. Now thinking I should have rented that big unit and ran it in from the hole I dug at the back of the property.
Very pissed right now! Should have called someone and said fix it! But all they want to do is dig up the foundation.
