There’s water under the house:
Fixed the bathroom drain that was more like a sieve than a pipe.
There’s still water under the house:
Rerouted the gutter water on the north side of the house by making a dry river bed to the ditch, put 3 foot extensions on the west side gutter pipes, and extended splash trays for the south side.
There’s still water under the house:
Well, I think I’ll have to just continue with the sump pump until it dries up a bit. Next I’ll be digging out the old gutter drainage around the back side of the house. I could kind of see how someone might think that running pipe along the foundation base to drain roof water was a good idea, but it would have been helpful if they would have designed a place for it to drain TO.
WANTED: A person with tractor and experience grading reasonably flat lawns in the Willamette valley. Knowledge of french drains and general drainage a bonus.
