I have a 100' x 25' building. We are having another very wet summer here in western NY. It is having some serious moisture problems. I can do the obvious exterior adjustments (maintaining gutters, light grade changes and trench work) but cannot afford the major cost of excavating the entire perimeter of the foundation to do drainage work.
This is why I'm considering a trench around the interior of the foundation and directing the water to a hole for a sub. pump. I would drill holes in the concrete blocks 1" above the footer to release the water into the trench. Part of the basement floor is soil and the other part is concrete.
I've never done something like this before, so any advice on this project is very much appreciated.
Thanks for any replys
