Delta MS will not address your water table. My recommendation is the following. french drains. not the 4'' ads pipe its crap. Use 3" pvc perf. and 16"w by 26" deep poly sump pits. my rule of thumb is one pump and pit per 100 feet of footing drains. Sump pump of choice is a Zoeller. if you have a block foundation weep holes should be drilled. Now my method is a very old one and reliable. This is more a water management system and if maintaned well your basement will stay dry. If your hire a reputable company a job which i described should only take a few days. Here are the downsides to anything down on the exterior. first is the price. if this product isnt covering every square inch its a waste of your hard earned money and most the time the guarantee isnt worth the paper its typed on. Also any exterior work is going to be very extensive meaning, and landscaping will have to be removed, decks will have to be taking down, porches will nedd to be removed and re built, the list goes on and on. Now the dangers. removing all the earth around your home down to your footing and pushing it all back in when the job is down can result in the basement walls caving in and your home collapsing. A lot of these waterproofers who do the exterior stuff almost never tell the customers about these facts. I know from experience, it happened to us when we used to do the exterior drains. its just not worth it. As for the pumps in your basement you can set them high so they only pump when they have to. Hope this was helpful to you. good luck in your new home

So we want to take care of one of our side yards' drainage issue. It's very straight forward. The side yard has nothing but gravel, we just need to dig a ditch, run a solid pipe from downspout to front yard trench, and cover it with gravel. The side yard is slightly sloped toward front, so no problem for the water to go. I plan to use this pipe: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Advanced-Drainage-Systems-3-in-x-10-ft-Drai n-Pipe-Solid-3550010/100185642#.UdoKl0BwofU Also need a couple of couplings and Tees. The person at homedepot said these pipes can not be glued, that I can use PVC tapes to wrap them after I fit everything together. Is this true? I watched several Youtube videos with people using corrugated black pipe they kind of just snap it in, but I don't know if it applies to the white pipe I plan to use. Thank you!

The sewer sewer, or stormwater sewer? In my area, we have both. And, sump pump to storm water sewer is common. If sewer sewer, I would want to make sure there would be NO WAY for a backup of sewage into my sump pump line--physically impossible. Backflow valve, or other emergency outlet for backup.

I don't get how any of the reconfigurations of the last pictures help or make a difference. Running the outfall farther away, into a hole in the ground, depends entirely on the size of the hole. If it fills up with water in a rain, it's not big enough. Then there is the problem of having a maybe big hole occupy part of a yard. Not a great asset. Pictures don't show anything about the problems of fixing grade. That would be the first idea to explore. One pretty much needs to have understanding of the grade all the way to outside of the property lines. Without that, it's hard to go anywhere.
