After dewatering 4" of water we found the source of the flood. There is a crack in the basement slab around the permeter or a depressed area ( about 2' x 2' x 6" deep). This depressed slab has I believe contains 3 capped sewer pipes. The water is coming in this area because of a high water table and hydrostatic pressure below the slab. This is the lowest area of the basement. I want to seal this area but am concerned that may worsen the problem. Right now I bought a sump pump to keep the basement dry. Are there any experts out there that have solutions to this problem?
