I'd love to solicit some feedback on a drainage plan in progress. It's a ~100 year old house with a rubble foundation. In Rhode Island so it rains a lot. The seller was... less than truthful about water in the basement.




I'll link out to a google doc so no goons have to scroll past 15 pictures of my disgusting (car)hole. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XHaptwOHg6yoxWSjgwqModSd0qjZy8kyz5tyrEFrD6A/edit?usp=sharing

It's pretty standard in RI to have sumps and some work done on the outside of the house to redirect rain away. Which one you need, or whether you need both, depends on where exactly the water is coming from. Is it coming up from the ground or down through gaps in the walls?

We get a little bit of ground water during the heaviest rain, but as a separate problem the water comes in through this wall which is what I'm hoping improving the drainage will help with.
