I installed a sump pump in a 30 " deep basin in my garage beneath the concrete floor. It is not part of a piped perimeter system. I put tons of holes in the sides and covered it with filter fabric. Prior to installing the sump pump, I sometimes get water on the floor in the garage, the utility room next to the garage (2' from sump), and in the stairway by the bilco door (8 ' from the sump). I get water after very heavy rains, and sometimes when we have more than one storm. the water seems to come up from the floor.
My question is will the sump pump in the garage take care of all of my water problems as noted above. Do I need to drill holes in the concrete floors in the other 2 areas affetcted, or will the sump remove all of the water from underground and keep the 3 areas dry?
Thanks
Jim
