[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a sump pump there is a good chance the crock is being fed by a perimeter drain in the basement. One thing you can do is have the perimeter drain camera inspected with a sewer drain camera. If it’s blocked anywhere it won’t be as effective at diverting water away from the exterior walls to the sump for pumping out. I did this recently and found no obstructions. Friend of mine in del ray definitely has an obstruction and The plastic pipes can fill with silt material over time. We run a dehumidifier in the sump pump crock area that drains into the crock. It’s usually around 55%-50% down there in the height of summer. The number of air returns in the basement also impacts humidity because your HVAC is pulling water out of the air during the warmer months.
