AJ Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 here is the before http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs027.snc3/11443_313240005276_537465276_9662129_5328967_n.jpg we had a water issue in out basement that from the looks of the attempted repairs has been that way for years. well i want to refinish the basement and the water was holding me up untill we got it fixed. my house is kinda on top of a hill and this is the highest point in the yard. even though its the highest point its also like a bowl and holds all the water and moves it towards the house insted of away. first we removed all the bushes. then i used a mini back hoe and dug about a foot and a half below the current level. then we installed rubber membrane about 8" up the wall and then away from the house. after that we backfilled and added about 8-10" higher than when we started. since it was kinda a useless area and didn't look that good i dug a pond. this is what we ended up with. still have a few plants we want to add and then some lighting to the house. http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs199.snc4/38309_10150217649350277_537465276_13715846_4001840_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
