[QUOTE="Phill Latio, post: 253518, member: 1590"] the short answer is no. Its already graded properly. House sits on highest point. Problem is when it rains, a lot (6-8+ in a few days time, which happens every couple years. Or when we have 12' high drifts surround the house that are 40yds long and 20 yards deep) no amount of grading will keep water from soaking into the earth. Again, its heavy clay under the topsoil so when this rain soaks down to the clay it will just sit there when the water table is high. So we could be bone dry for over a month after that and water will still be seeping in and the sump pit still fills up. If I could get that rain into drain tile before it hits the clay and run it into a ditch where it would be taken down hill from that I would be in good shape. Or so I think...?? [/QUOTE]
