What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
What do you mean? An African or European swallow?
We’ve got a hill behind our house. When the snow melts, the water all heads our way. Did some berm-type landscaping three years ago and have two sump pumps in the basement but we’ve had unusually heavy snowfall this winter so I'm not at all sure we’ll have a dry basement this spring.

Ha, I was wondering if anyone would take that and run with it 🤣 Kinda surprised @jacobtothe didn't...
Luckily we don't get that kind of snow but that still doesn't sound like much fun either. So does the snowmelt come at you in one big rush or more of a steady buildup of water? With the lay of the land I'm afraid berms wouldn't be very practical here but I will keep that in mind.
Thanks for dropping by!
It really depends on how fast the warmup is. But when we’ve had trouble in the past, the crisis unfolds over a couple of days.
Unrelated to the snow, we recently had the basement laundry room’s drain roto rootered 75' out to the city connection so that should help with spring runoff.
