Hello, Neighbors --
On very rainy days, water seeps up from the floor of our basement. While the
water drains away with better weather, with an increasing number of severe
weather days, we're noticing that this seepage happens more frequently. The
house that's our twin also has the same problem. Do you have this issue or
advice about containing the seepage? Do you know of experts who deal with this
problem?
We have a well functioning sump pump and dehumidifier which help keep our
basement dry and mildew free, but we would like to put a stop to the seepage
altogether. We've read that 90% of basement leaks are the result of surface
water that does not drain into the soil and believe this is the case for our
house -- on rainy days, the large yard behind our house always has a large pool
of standing water that is clearly not being absorbed into the soil very readily.
Please e-mail me off line. If anyone has access to UC Neighbors, would you
forward this message to that listserv? Many thanks for your help!
All best,Mimi Iijima1009 S farragutsteveandm...@hotmail.com
