How does a French drain work ?
I notice the water is coming from the middle of the room,away from the
walls.
Where would i put the drain ?

I have wall to wall carpeting in my basement on a concrete floor.
Water comes up through the concrete about once or twice a year when we

steady rain.
Is there any solution for this problem,since i don't see any cracks in the
concrete, just the water seems to appear.



Remove the carpeting. Fix the water issue (proper drainage,
downspouts, grading, sealing concrete, French drain, etc). When you
notice you have a dry basement for 2-3 years, install the carpeting or
better yet vinyl flooring.
