After weeks of head scratching, one flush of the toilet revealed a leak in my sewer line. Went outsife dug down to the old clay pipe and found the problem and corrected it. The basement was dry until it started raining thisd morning. Now the water is seeping down under the footer and into the basement. I would like to avoid digging up alongside the foundation(outside). Are there ways to send that water outside?
