What pump do you have in there right now? You could upgrade. The zoeller m53 is what we use for regular duty and a m267 for heavy duty applications. I work for a plumbing company, not zoeller, so don't tag this as spam. The 267 we use for large sewage pits so it should have that capacity you need, with a 2" discharge.

Excellent ideas. Footing drainage is useless unless you have a place to drain the water to. Sounds like your house is sitting in a pool and the less water you dump in there the lower the level will go. Good luck. Hank

No liquid water in block: "There is an existing drilled hole in the wall about 2 feet in height from the floor slab (the problem did exist above it as well). No water visibly drains from this hole giving reason for me to believe that the water level within the concrete block is NO higher than 2 feet, but I am having a humidity exchange. " Most of my problem seems to be with efflorescence pealing my paint. However, much of the wall no efflorescence is visible and the paint is extremely difficult to remove. Has anyone had a similar experience in their basement? How did you handle it? How did it turn out? Thanks. I am taking my time pealing as much of the paint off as I can when time allows before considering applying the DryLock at this point. I will contact Drylock and ask them if I can use it over most the wall (the stubborn paint).

kim286-- Use a silicone or similar product between the concrete and ashphalt, they move at different rates and you want something flexible. Next time you are at a mall or large retailer look at the walls and walks outside and notice all the expansion joints that they use, you want to imitate that. Jecky--- How does your answer relate?
