After having a new concrete driveway installed at our new house, we discovered that our basement leaks in primarily two locations. One in the South Western corner is seapage and the other comes in about three feet up halfway along our Eastern wall. During heavy ran I need to use a shopvac to keep up on this.
Ideally I'd like to somehow get this to stop without damaging the driveway, I thought of creating a canal system that would drain the water to the Northwest corner (location of the sump pump). I have applied concrete sealer and it has reduced the force of the flow but I still have to keep an eye on it.
Anyone with any suggestions (short of selling the house during the dry season), please pipe in...I truelly would love to find a solution that would allow me to go ahead and finish the basement as well....
