    Quoted from Chisox:

    I have water sensor alarms set up and have flood insurance but still have nightmares about walking down the stairs to…. Anyone else ?

    Yes, every damn time. My buddy and I were discussing either a backup or spare sump pump the other night actually. After all the money and time I've put into my basement, I'd be devastated if it got flooded.

    My insurance agent told me that I wasn't able to purchase flood insurance because I didn't live in a defined flood zone. I was also told that water through the walls isn't covered as it is considered a flood.

    Quoted from mbwalker:

    At our old (but new build) house, we had a spot in the basement wall where you could see some aggregate (i.e. stones where the concrete didn't mix well). At some point it did leak. One local basement repair company used epoxy injection to fill the voids. They drill some holes, then inject the epoxy under pressure. Worked great. Sounds like that would solve your issue too.

    You can actually do this yourself for a few hundred bucks. I did it on a crack in the foundation that, along with a poorly graded section around the house and a lot of rain, allowed water in while we were framing. I posted about it in my build thread.
