[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]W have the same walk-up (now I know!) with a drain..unfortunately the drain is not connected to a pipe.  After heavy rains (yesterday) water starts coming up from the saturated ground and we get water through the door.  A mess yesterday as we were not home.[/quote]

Our 1940's house had a drain that also went *no where*, was maybe 6 feet deep.  After the torrential rains in '06, and right after we started to move in, our basement flooded (we knew it had water problems).  We had to have french drains installed under the basement floor, and a pipe [b]now connects the drain to the interior drain [/b]along the perimter of the basement.  What a mess!!!  On Wednesday night, leaves and debris had covered the drain and water started to build up and was starting to seep under the door, to which I immediately swept up the debris and the water drained.

Heavy rains are a pain in the ass!  Even though we spent thousands on our water problem and have been dry for 7 years, I still panic when we have heavy rain for several days.[/quote]

That is illegal[/quote]
