You bet wrong, as always.


Dude, admit defeat on this one.


Another illiterate speaks.

Putting it a drain is not a big job
(unless you are a complete novice).


It is a *huge* job for a home-owner, with all sorts of complications and
risks. I'm not against fixing problems, but I would *never* finish this
basement off following such a repair. They too often don't work. If there is
that much water on the other side of the wall it *will* leak again, sooner or
later.

My house has a 1800 sq basement
and it took a day to punch out the trench, run pipes etc, and the next
morning to concrete over. From that point on, no water, no damp and
no worrying whenever I hear rain at night. It cost me about 6k to
do, but I had knocked the same amount off the price I was willing to
pay for the house. Suggesting someone needs to move house because of
something like this is ridiculous. You must be the type of guy that
sells a car because it needs new tires.


You're as moronic as halliburton.
