[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on how the water came in. Outdoor grading and the condition of gutters can make a huge difference.[/quote] [quote] We moved. New house has sump pumps and we were very vigilant about running the gutter discharge well away from the foundation.[/quote] Our contractor grade gutters couldn’t handle the volume. Higher volume gutters and running discharge well away from foundation did the trick, along with having the sump pump on its own dedicated circuit (though we did have to do a bucket brigade when the power went out in Sandy).[/quote]
