I was up at 4am vacuuming water in my basement, again. I got so pissed I tore apart the corner where it's coming in. There's a large section of foundation that seems extremely porous, you can see where it's all wet and seeping through. I have some of that waterproofing paint I'm going to use once it dries out, but I need to figure out where the waters coming from. I've piped all the gutter runoff away from the house, so if it's just the water table being so high I'm gonna be S.O.L. without excavating the foundation and doing drainage and foundation sealing on the outside. If there wasn't so much stuff being stored down there I could cut a drainage channel to the sump pump hole along the edge just for a quick fix. I'd have to move 5 big built in shelves, 2 freezers and a pile of old hydro equipment but there's no room to move it anywhere, so I don't see that happening. Tried going back to sleep for about an hour without luck, so I got up, got the trash out and made breakfast. Grabbing a second cup of coffee, a bowl of Crack (the Green variety)and thinking about what to do next.
