So for the first 20 months of living here we were used to some rain...but never like this. We had over 8 inches in a day (or something like that according to my weather savvy sister-in-law). The basin FILLED UP, and went up OVER the drain. It was a bit scary, wondering IF the view was going to cost us this year. It did not and our fears were abated. That was a heavy rainstorm and we were fine. I did have to work on our neighbor's place while they were out of town. Part of the piping on their sump pump broke and the water was spilling out all around their foundation. I used a hoe to dig a ditch leading the water away from their home. It was pretty wild, a lot of french drains were "exploding" into mini-geysers.
