I have a basement that floods in one corner after heavy, extended rain (every 2-3 years). Current theory is hydrostatic pressure pushing water (vapor?) through concrete.
Will a sump pump help?
The weeping tiles in this development are notorious for being inadequate, so I'm not sure if busting through the floor/walls to make a connection is worth it. Is it worthwhile to install just the pit and pump without connections to the weeping tiles?
All the usual measures (eaves, grading, etc) have been taken. Lots of concrete/asphalt around the perimeter of the house makes excavation unappealing.
TIA.
