I've been battling water in my basement for ten years. I've had spots blue-skinned. Last summer I dug up my entire yard and put in a french drain. After thinking my issues are over, I decided we would take over our basement apartment and I'd finally have a toyroom of my own.
Then, Monday when we ripped out the sink we found mold. we then ripped out the steps and floor in the basement apartment entrance way and there it was.....more water!!
I'm faced with two options. I can dig up my basckyard a second time and blue-skin the back of the house OR I can go get a sump pump. I've always been nervous about sump pumps backing up and flooding, especially since my mego collection will be on display down there.
Any of my friends here have a sump pump? I'm looking to be educated on your experiences.
