[quote=Anonymous]We have a leaky basement (ie water sometimes trickles through the foundation but we never get true flooding/standing water). As a non-professional, I recommend the outdoor fix. My understanding is that for a sump pump to work it needs a certain amount of water, meaning that it will kick in when there's a big heavy rain but it's not going to do much for small amounts of water. I would also suggest a good dehumidifier. We bought a large one at Costco and we run it a lot, to minimize the moisture in the basement [/quote]
