On occasion you will encounter an inner city rebuild with a higher than desirable water table. This means the sump system will work to discharge the water. Where to send this water when the property hasn’t been graded properly or, more likely, the disturbed areas have sunk is a problem. I’ve had to resort to hard piping the sump pump discharge to around the garage to get the water away from the window wells where it can just come back in again and enter the weeping tile. Definitely into the make it work stage of the project now. Eventually we will grade and landscape but not likely for another month as the stucco scaffold is up. This is the type of construction aggravation that just doesn’t go away until the end.
