Due to the very humid weather lately, the AC condensation tube is allowing water to come up from under the concrete floor slab in the basement. I don't understand the original setup (as in the photo), but the condensation goes through the PVC pipe down under the basement floor. Now I've got a large puddle of water on the floor as the ground must be saturated and is coming back up through the opening.
My question is this: can I remove part of the bottom of the vertical pipe going into the floor and insert a 90degree elbow and a straight piece with an elbow downward into a bucket? I would love to direct the pipe to the open floor corner but it's on the opposite end of the basement. I realize I'd have to empty the bucket periodically but it would be much better than the small pond on the floor.
Thanks,
Bob
