I don't know the source of my water. That's half or a majority of my problem.
I have all drainage away from the house all ditches lead away, no broken water lines.
the only thing I can hazard a guess is that in times of heavy rain, when the ground is soaked that is 'seeps' in from below.
I'll...
there is no slope near, actually it's on a fairly flat piece of land and the surrounding land is flat too, Flat, meaning there is no hill anywhere around, the property is on a very gentle slope. I'd say no more than 5 ft rise over 300 feet.
no broken water lines, only one line from the city...
yes i have adequate ventilation, thanks for the reminder.[bigsmile]
I can put a drain from the crawl space to the 'ditch' below the house, it's about 100 ft or so away.
the issue is that the 'bottom' of the crawl is about 4 ft below the surface, if the crawl is filled with dirt, so it's level...
basement and crawl space were my two main searches, I read everything.
nothing appears to be similar to my situation nor can I glean anything from them.
Lowering the water table is the only 'suggestion' I could see that may help but I am not sure how to do that.
ok my "theroy" about pumping...
I have an interesting issue. My crawlspace is about 3 ft deep, 15 ft long and about 6 ft wide.
It fills with water and won't go away, of course. I've pumped it out and it just seeps back in.
It has 3 walls that are concrete blocks, and one that is just hard packed clay, red clay.
What should I...
