Water basement problems are my nemesis. A developer built 2 giganormous houses up the hill from and I've had an unwanted indoor swimming pool ever since because I'm on the flat part of the hill. Yes, Indoor pool could increase property value, but not this kind of indoor pool. I've elevated items 6" off floor, water sealed interior floor, enlarged sump with 2 pumps, 2 back up batteries, generator, extended gutters 30 ft away from house, etc. Next thing will be to dig out soil and tar basement walls but I might move before I get to that point. I live in the smallest house on the street and the neighbors, with their big roof lines, driveways and patios don't have any place for water to go but into street and into watershed.
