Had to install a sump pump in my crawl space today. I was having a mold problem and i finally was at the house right after a rain. I found 6 inches of water in the crawl space. I had put a french drain across the front of the house but the water was still coming in. I determined that the bedrock flows just under my foundation and the water is following that. Nothing i can do about that enless i want to repour a foundation wall.

So i put a sump pump in where it is running into the crawl space and that should catch it all. It took about 3 hours to dig the pit and hook every thing up. I think i spent more time going to the hardware store than i did hooking it all up.

Sump pumps are not that hard to hook up and i took the opritunity to set my dehumidifier up to just drain into the sump pit. Hopefully this will end my water problem in the crawl space.

Sump pumps rule.
