Is your house new? If so, it may be under some sort of statutory warranty. In Connecticut, there is a 1 year statutory new home warranty. Check your contract, and maybe a call to your closing attorney is in order.

It sounds to me like you have a hydrostatic pressure problem that should not exist if the builder properly installed and back filled foundation and footing drains. Or else, you're sitting on an underground spring. I'm not sure how flat your territory is, but around here the goal is to have the footing and foundation drains running to daylight.

I'm also surprised that your sump pump is not able to control the water. You may have the wrong kind, or too small of a sump pump, or maybe you need to deepen the sump that it is sitting in so it starts to pick up the water lower down. My sump pump probably does about 10 gallons a minute, so that would be about 600 gallons per hour (at least until it burns out). I've had my own flooding problems, but usually because the electricity goes out.

take pictures before he comes, so you can be sure he has installed it correctly once he is done. Dont want to have leaks or ill fitting seals.

That is very cool. My cousin is creates glass artefacts and it is no joke to be standing in front of a furnace blowing glass into the right shape. I have deep admiration for the skill and focus such jobs require.

Feel better VFR weather is around the corner

Jeff, if I recall correctly, he bought the home from some other person. Don't believe it is a new home.

BTW spotted my first ever 2012 Civic on the street today. It did not stand out, and only when I looked closely was it evident that it was a new Civic. It was sitting in downtown traffic all bland and blended in

Nope, it was built in 1966

I think the problem is we are now getting sewer overflow because everything is so backed up with all the rain that the water simply has nowhere to go anymore. And all of Amherst is a giant swamp anyway.

I don't think the sump pump is the problem, with the sheer volume of water coming in (two 3-inch pipes emptying into the sump at about 50% volume), the water was gushing in. Not a trickle, I'm talking about the equivalent of 4 garden hoses running at once.

I'm having a mason come out and take a look at everything. I need solutions soon, and this is likely to cost me a fortune.

Would love to have weather like the first year. I'm sure the Civic will be clean enough to show - I still plan to you however for not bringing the S

Where are the photos?

I saw my Fit twin again leaving the gym when I was getting there. One of these days it's going to be a close enough "sighting" to wave

Switched things a bit today and did 30 minutes on the bike instead of treadmill.

yep! weather the first year was purrfect. better hope the weather behaves as NH Mark is driving all the way.

Just be prepared to experience disappointment. They try that waving culture on 8th Civic as well, but it does not work too well because the cars are too common I think. I've had some people look at me funny and therefore will not wave unless waved to
