I broke the foundation in my basement I must tell you that my basement is underground
I want to build another bathroom. I found lots of water under the foundation. I pump the water out enough to see my drain I then take out more rock and water seems to be filling up as I dig how do I take care of this problem so I can cut the pipe to build my new bathroom.
