OK...this is a follow-up to my last post. This time I have more detail after doing some research.
I have some type of hollow baseboard waterproofing system in place in my basement currently, but I'm still getting water/moisture/seepage around the wall/floor joint. Anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be!!??
I also have a sump pump, and from what I read, these types of waterproofing systems typically drain into a sump...can anyone explain how that works? I don't see how the baseboard water drains into the sump.
My sump pump seems to be working too, I tested it yesterday by lifting the plunger and it operated. It seems fairly quiet though, and I can't remember ever consciously hearing it operate...is that normal?
My downspouts are pretty far away from the house (although I'll probably extend them a little more if will help) and there really isn't anything sloping directly toward the house.
Any advice or ideas to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.
