Water coming in between the floor and icf walls

[tmmcleod_1999]

We have a house that is half 40+ years old the the newer half was built in
99, when they did that they moved the sump pit to the other side of the
house and to the new part. The old part of the basement stays dry but we
have water soming in between the floor and the ICF walls. Will it help to
dig a 2nd sump pit on the side of the basement where the water comes in?

The Homeowners Hub site is not a help forum.
It's an *advertising* forum that invades real
forums (like "alt.home.repair", part of
"usenet") parasitically in order to generate
free advertising for itself, which continually
advances its search engine placement, thereby
increasing its own revenue through its click-
through advertising commissions.

So the first thing you should do is write them
an email and tell them to quit spamming.

Then try to find your way here through proper
channels. Please do a google search on "Usenet"
and post the regular way.

You won't know unless you do it. Odds are in your favor. Do some
thinking about the terrain and drainage and locate the sump pit
closest to where you suspect the source might be, like the uphill side
of the house if the lot is bit unlevel. Do whatever is needed to
correct downspouts and grading, too.
