[DIY] Basement water

There has been warning of water from all the melted snow and rain, and it did indeed penetrate just as it usually would. I had been hoping our new downspout work had alleviated our problem. Clearly not the case, though one Area of overdue grading was improved. So my question is what should be our next step. We have a very old dirty sump that seems to work but does have to be kicked on occasion. 2 plumbers did not consider it needed replacing, nor did the basement dry specialist. Im wondering if newer sump or backup would limit water penetration.

Re: [DIY] Interesting Wind Map

Worst is over for our area; we dodged the tornado-bullet. Northern Georgia county wasn't so lucky...

Seems our area is the meeting zone for northern cold and Florida's tropic winds. Best bet is to quit listening to weather men and stick your head outside ....

I watch my wild birds and animals to gauge how bad to expect the weather... seems all wild and exotic birds were at ease and celebrating the rain, all dogs were calm.

I didn't stress this storm like I do some...

The hour by hour shift in the wind boundaries is something to see as one system runs up against another one and you can see how tornados might form where these two winds merge and begin to swirl. Keep your head down.
