Why do French drains fail?

• <div><p>French drains may fail when they become clogged with soil granules that slip through the pores of the landscaping fabric and through the holes in the pipe. </p><p>Over time, this debris can build up inside the pipe and prevent water flow. To prevent this failure from happening, regularly flush out your French drain and keep debris away from the inlet grate.</p></div>

Can you finish a basement that leaks?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.</p></div>

What are the disadvantages of trench drains?

• <div><p>Trench drains have a bit of a reputation as being difficult to clean, so if there’s a massive rainstorm that leads to a lot of debris and gunk getting stuck in the drain, you’ll spend extra time cleaning it out. Plus, you definitely need to regularly clean the drain, heavy rainstorms or not, to keep it in good condition, adding an extra step to your cleaning to-do list.</p></div>

Q: Can you live in a damp basement?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to live in a damp basement, it&rsquo;s usually not healthy to do so. Damp air affects your breathing, and it also promotes mold growth and pest infestation that can make living in a damp basement dangerous. You should plan to resolve any moisture issues and set up preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.</p></div>

Q: What causes a basement to smell musty?

• <div><p>Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that&mdash;like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier&mdash;can help keep musty odors from returning.</p></div>

Suggested work that was not necessary: move water spigot to front of house instead of side, which in a rock house, would have been very expensive and completely unnecessary. I ended up going down to the water department to have them cut the water on and then repaired leaks.
