My home was built by a moron. He put the house in the ground 3 feet deeper than he was supposed to. Needles to say I had water problems almost immediately. Over the next couple of years he attempted to fix the problem. The last time he took up the concrete and put drain tile in throughout the basement with additional sump pits. This worked for a couple of years we had no water in the basement. I felt confident so I finished the basement. After a very wet spring this year I began having problems again. This is very distressing to me. I cant imagine tearing apart my basement again. Is it feasible or even possible to approach this problem by lowering the water table around my house with a well pump? I have a drainage ditch in the rear of my property for disposing of the excess water.
