K I have a ty situation, I have a leak in the drain tiles outside my fireplace in my basement, I would like to install a sump but I'm told it is best to get rid of the actual problem... the leak and not try and quick fix. The problem lies in that I don't have much room to dig outside unless I start tearing up my driveway to get access to the drain tiles and even if I did, I'm not exactly sure how fix the drain tile problem. Any suggestions?
