[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get the French drains and add a second sump-pump. We did everything else, nothing else worked - drains are worth it. [/quote] Because everyone lives in your house? Figure out what's going on, then fix that.[/quote] I mean yes, but as a homeowner I’ve just come to accept that if I buy a house in our area without drains and a sump pump, I should expect to have to put them in. And if the drains are really old, I’m going to have them in mind because I know things silt up eventually. I think it’s better to just be prepared for the idea that you might well need them given our geology. You could get lucky with trying to direct surface water away from your house but I’ve never lived in the DMV where that was enough so I don’t expect I ever will. [/quote]
