I once owned a home that had running water under the slab. During heavy rains, it literally was a river under the slab. The sump pump did work to keep the water out, but i never trusted it. I was so thankful after i sold that home. I'll NEVER buy another home that has a sump pump. Just too risky, IMO.

I just bought an old Victorian house. There was standing water in the basement, which I thought just needed pumping out. When I did start pumping, I discovered a finger-width-sized hole in the floor that bubbles up new water with every pump. It ALWAYS returns to the same level after pumping it out then stops. And no matter how many times I pump it comes back. No idea what to do with it.

So the only choices a person has is to grade a slope away from the house with a 3” drop per 10 feet. Or install a sump pump with a interior french drain around the perimeter dug out to the footer all leading to flow into the sump pit. Or you excavate around the entire house down to the footer and completely seal the foundation walls with a rubber membrane and line the existing slab with a moisture and vapor barrier using a thicker plastic of like 12mm minimum taking that barrier up the walls at least 12 inches then pouring an entire leveling cement with smaller aggregate in order to provide strength and not damage the barrier.. lastly ive had an engineer actually call to install simple pumps that directly attach to the slab like the radon mitigation air pumps except these have veins to pump water.. he called for 5 pumps to be installed with a bore of 3” round and 24” deep into the ground below the slab then little mini sump things installed in the holes.. i guess because this house was so old and was built on a limestone footer dug into a mountain he didnt want to cut out a big pit. 3 of the holes we had to use a diamond core drill to get the depth he wanted.. the pumps were super quiet and only ran a few times a day when it rained.. used a sonograph to place the holes in the main tributaries the water was running off below the house eroding the stone away.. pretty neat house..

We just started to install a shower in our basement and the plumber discovered standing water after breaking open the cement around the shower drain pipe. The water went away after he used a drill to go into the tile. Attempted to install the shower and noticed water coming up, so the room everything out and ran the drill against the tile again, plus cleared out some of the cement. We ran a hose of water into the hole for about 2 hours and it never rose again to come through the hole. Currently have the project on hold as the plumber isn’t sure what’s causing the issue. Our house is 16 years old and we never had water issues in the basement. Any suggestions or thoughts?

@@tkamp18 sorry for the delayed response. The tile that I’m talking about is the black tubing that goes around the outside perimeter of the house, underneath the basement cement flooring - the water is suppose to enter that and then drain into the sump pump. All the stone under the cement where our shower drain was placed was full of sand and would not drain to that black tile tubing. Our plumber broke out a small area of cement from where the drain was right up to the exterior wall where the tube/tile was located. They then removed all the sand blocked stone and placed fresh stone in that area. This opened up a path to the drain tile and corrected our issue. Hoping this will help you as well.
