I was replacing the sewage ejector basin this weekend.
To do so, I had to remove the existing one and re-dig a little bit so there was a 3ft hole in the ground. On leaving it overnight, it filled up with water to around 2ft but stayed stable at that depth.
I'm re-concreting around the basin but am worried that this is quite a high water table - it is spring though with snow melt season.
The water has never ever come through the concrete into the converted/liveable basement area but worried that it is very close to the concrete slab of the house.
Do I need a sump or have to install french drains around the concrete grade of the house?
