Drain in stairwell leading to basement door clogged
Hi
The drain in front of the basement door (walk up basement) was clogged when it rained. My father took up 10 buckets of water, but water was coming out of the drain instead of getting into the drain. Our house is faily new (two years old) and therefore, could it be a technical problem? Or do you suspect the problem to be technical? Or could it be a debris problem. We opened up the cover of the drain and cleaned up whatever we found -- mostly sand. Where did the sand come from? I am not sure.
Any suggestions would be useful. Should we get the plumber come overto assess the problem?
