I have a rancher style house with a crawlspace. I live in Maryland right off of the Chesapeake bay. I have a high water table and my soil is practically clay. That being said, I have a trench around the perimeter inside my crawl space. I have no sump pump. The trench isn't graded so that water will run to one spot.
Now should I have a pump? If so where should I put it? The previous owner had a colinder with a bilge pump in it just inside the access to the crawl space. The bilge pump failed.
