Hi All,
Every time we get a hard rain that lasts more than a day my basement carpet gets damp and ultimately sopping wet. The trouble is that right in the middle of the basement is a dry walled HVAC room that also has the water heater. This is an un-carpeted area. Yesterday the concrete was quite wet and about a 1-2 foot range on the carpet exterior of the HVAC room was wet. The sump pump is about 20 feet away in a separate room and is bone dry. I've tested it and it still works but as long as I've been in the house I don't think it's seen a single drop of water. Any thoughts on what the problem is or how to figure it out?
Thanks!
