The Bitching Thread

[Ryllharu]

I got home after another less than satisfactory day at work. You want to know the last thing I wanted to do? Deal with any effects of a rising water table in my basement.

Guess what I came home to find that I had to deal with:
The rising water table's impact on my basement. Something was blocking my sump pump.

Delightful.

Thankfully, the sump pump is the most efficient way of getting rid of most of the water in my basement. Not so great...is the fact the basement was never designed for it, and not all of the water naturally flows into it. The previous owners installed it...but didn't really put deep enough, and since it was an afterthought, they never put it in the right spot, or re-graded the floor down there (the latter I don't really expect someone to do).
