OH no! UGH! Water damage and houses are two things that don't mix well at all! In fact that's the one thing I'm paranoid about! My parents had a leaky basement and it got a huge crack in one wall. The made the contractor repour the basement, seems they'd left a HUGE boulder touching the wall on the outside, which made the wall crack, but we had little ones everywhere... I still remember the day I found a mushroom growing in from one of them... [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Can you install a sump pump soon? I hope so!!! Get a good quality one, but DO NOT go for the higher horse power, Wendy, you don't need that! I had a half hp one that died in a year and after talking to the reliable guys in my hardware store 5 yrs ago, I got a 1/4 hp one and believe it or not it works better and we haven't had a problem with it in all this time. Seems the higher hp ones are more prone to breakdowns and the one I had must have been especially cheap as it even rusted. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
