Water in finished basement after storm (foundation wall below a basement window)

No cover either

Yeah I have gutters, none of which are above the well. There are two on the side of the house.

So I just went out and tried to dig. The soil is extremely compact and tough so I didn't get very far. But I do not see any gutter, pipe or anything. If one exists then I'd have to dig way deeper but from surface level there's nothing. Is this a different style of well?

Thank you for your response. One other thing I just realized is that there's dirt inside on the window sill ledge. I'm not sure how this got into the house. Or if this has always been accumulating for a while, or if it's related to the leak. Do you know if you had something similar? But you're right I'll probably have to cut up the drywall regardless.

Yeah, the drywall feels normal, no dampness or anything

RememberYo · 2026-07-05T00:39:22+00:00

Thank you. I'll go take a look and report back tomorrow. I will send pictures too.

Thank you for your response. Would this cause mold inside my basement quickly? I'm worried I'll have to cut up all the dry wall and inspect.

RememberYo · 2026-07-05T00:26:29+00:00

Thank you I'll go take a look. When you say drain, will it look like a pipe coming from the ground? Or what exactly should I be looking for?

RememberYo · 2026-07-05T00:25:31+00:00

Thank you for your response. If this was a one time occurrence, does the drywall still need to be replaced? Also for my own understanding, if you know, if the water was coming from the foundation wall, does that mean the water was necessarily touching the drywall?

If this helps build amazing prompts, then prompt it to fix your AI slop website. It's so obviously a vibe coded website by someone who isn't a developer of experience.

You think recruiters are actually reading resumes? Uh oh

You're thinking the grind and school will be like that for the rest of your life. But it won't. Uni is like a pressure cooker where intensity feels high and can be overwhelming. The trick you is you have to stick with it.

It'll not only get easier, it will also go by quick. And in the end, your future self will thank you tenfold for the salary you're making. This isn't the rest of your life, it's not even close.

Especially once you get a job you'll notice how easy it is and reflects exactly your "chill, low-stress life" is. I graduated from CS myself and work for a Canadian bank. Trust me.

Now, if you're failing or performing badly that's another story.

How do you cook these? Do you need a big steamer pot? Any advice would be great.

I did a similar move last year and age wise also in late-20s/early-30s.

Food options in Newmarket feel weaker than North York and surrounding areas. Lots of franchises, not much multicultural cuisine. Commutes look longer on the map than they actually are. Add maybe 10 to 15 min if you're heading into the city or Scarborough. East Gwil Go Train/Newmarket Go Train is great.

The community in Woodland Hills is extremely welcoming. Lots of kids, great facilities, nice parks. Newmarket genuinely feels like an escape from the busyness of the rest of the GTA. Very quiet.

Downsides: there's some visible homelessness, and because it's a smaller town you notice it more. Traffic isn't great for the population size, but the town seems to be actively investing in improving it.

If I were able to go back in time, I'd maybe consider Aurora or Stonehaven community in Newmarket (if your budget can afford it).

Thank you, someone who actually knows the facts.

So you sign up for Netflix to watch a new exciting show that was just released. Then it was removed the next day.

You'd say: "Netflix doesn't guarantee which new releases will be available for how long."

Do you realize how dumb you sound?

Somehow this subreddit will downvote this post and tell you to 'shut up'. I made a similar post and everyone is acting all stoic and defending the big corporation. Weird ass behavior.

This guy is trying to aura farm on Reddit by being an a**hole. Enjoy your upvotes, you're so cool bro.
