So I know no one selling a home is going to tell you outright, "If it rains, you're friggin screwed." but saying "We had a little water once" is a complete lie. I can picture the previous owner sitting nice and dry in their new abode. If I knew where it was, I would re-direct my water there.
Our neighbors *swear* they've never seen water like this in the neighborhood and yet it's happened twice in two weeks!
Needless to say, the sandy shores of our new lake will be opening this Memorial Day weekend.
Re: water vent
Yeah - unfortunately we didn't notice when looking at the place that everything in the basement is on cinder blocks. So we're partially to blame here. I just feel better blaming the old owners and not our ignorant house-hunting bliss.
Ugh. If everything was on cinderblocks then they've totally had water before. That sucks. We got water in our basement too. We didn't expect it at all, since we are on a hill and figured nothing would sit in the soil long enough to penetrate. This storm has just been really bad.
