Michigan flip now has inch of water in the basement

[Drew Denham]

Hi all, I've had my flip for sale for about 45 days now and after the thaw of the snow I see half of the basement has 1 inch of water. What I have done thus far:

1) added down spout extenders around the house

2) built the one side of the house with dirt

3) for whatever reason, the holes in the croc were plugged up with cement and we removed the cement and installed a brand new high voltage sub pump. When I did this, the sub pump ran for 30 minutes straight because there was so much water backed up.

There is still water seeping up the cracks on the floor but it HAS slowed down....

Anything else I can do besides adding a DIY B-dry system? It's hard to sell a house with water in the basement.

Hydraulic cement for the cracks? I'm really sick of pouring money into the house even though I have a huge gap of amount invested vs. asking price.

Thanks all :)

you need interior drain tile.  They jack hammer the floor and put in a drain tile to a sump pump.  

I put them in all my projects - just had one put a few weeks back figure $5-7K
