Yeah, every 5 or 10 years, we get one of those 100 year floods..
And, it doesn't help having the water table a few feet under the slab.
This house is located in a bad spot for water. At the bottom of a hill to the south,
and a swamp to the north..
If I had it to do over again, I would have moved to Texas and lived on a hilltop..


Why would I want to add drain tile, when I just added 3 more sump pumps??

But, if we decide to move into another house with horrible water problems,
I'll seriously consider installing some drain tiles..
