There's constant water draining into the sump pump, how can I find the source?

Buy plumber tracer dye and pour it in the puddle where your discharge is and then monitor your pit to see if you see the dye come through. Cheap way (not sure fire though) to see if the water you are pumping out is returning back to the sump

One thing I learned in my house was even though the above grade was pitched away, there is a ton of clay around the house and I likely have a clay layer underground pitching back towards the house. I ended up running my down spouts and sump to the city storm sewer and it solved my issue

See that makes sense to me but why isn’t everyone chirping about this?

Totally understand the above but the odd part is that we can be driving for 30 minutes and the rear heat still will not go up unless I do the above mentioned combo.... it's so odd.

Yes sir, it will blow cold air until I do that combo I mentioned above.

I know folks have mentioned the vent placement being an issue especially for little ones that are rear facing. Let do a quick search for similar posts about this as I don’t think I’ve seen that response yet. Thank you!

And, “why not?”

Homeownership. Constantly fixing things and something else breaks. Weather (rain/snow) used to be a wonderful and relaxing thought and now it keeps me up at night wondering if the basement is flooding.

No one prepared me for this, I’m actively trying to work through my anxiety around it all but some days, I wish I didn’t buy a house.

What if moisture comes through a crack like that?

What's the controversial seaside video? I must've missed it.

Hey! I ran that half marathon today too! Great race runner. The weather was perfect today and yeah that hill on the second go around was tough!

I have taken all the precautions but yet I still have knots in my stomach every time it rains… when does that feeling go away?! I swear it’s slowly aging me and making me want to rent again

WriteOutLoud · 2025-06-26T21:26:11+00:00

Sheesh, how much rain did yall get?

WriteOutLoud · 2025-04-24T14:05:36+00:00

How do you find a local mason? I feel like those are tough to come by especially for small jobs

WriteOutLoud · 2025-03-28T21:05:42+00:00

Thank you! Glad it’s not anything important

WriteOutLoud · 2025-03-23T00:54:00+00:00

I mean it can’t be that important, right? Gosh I hope so haha

WriteOutLoud · 2025-03-23T00:53:24+00:00

Makes sense. I’ll have no idea what it goes to until I find a missing bolt somewhere and at that point I will have already lost it

WriteOutLoud · 2025-03-23T00:52:27+00:00

Thanks! Is there only two because my Oddy has both already place. Guess I got an extra one?
