: Recently I installed a new water line from the meter to the basement. The old water line was leaking : according to the water company report. The old line was removed from the meter and disconnected : inside the house. Last week severe storms hit my area. I had 100 gallons of water an hour coming into : the basement through the abandoned water line. This lasted for about 32 hours even though the rain only : lasted several hours. Two weeks after this storm I still have a lot of water seeping into the basement and : every time it rains, gallons of water comes in through the abandoned water line. I put a valve on this line : and have a hose into the sewer drain. I have checked my gutters and downspouts and they are OK. : I have not had a problem with water in my basement before.Everyone tells me that it is gound water. : I had the water company check and they said that the existing line is not leaking. Please Help. Thanks.
