We plugged the original dime sized hole but obviously the water still seeps through in that general area it would be fine to leave that area unfinished.
Stud out a concrete wall with french drain.
You can bump the framing out in front of the drain but you will lose a lot of space that way.
Basement is about 50x30 ft.
I would not put my bottom plate on top of the gravel of the french drain.
To clarify i want to put a stud wall along the edge of the perimeter drain.
The lip is 2 25 inches high and 6 5 inches deep.
It is not an external french drain its a french drain along the walls that drain into a sump pump.
The water seeps into the french drain in one corner only.
Maybe 5 or 6 feet of wall space where you would see water seeping into the drain at times.
What i want to do is to put up walls.
Now here are my questions.
I have been looking for a solution but keep getting french drain external results.
Do i put 2 inch rigid foam on the cinder block wall it would be over the drain and then add the stud wall to meet.
My basement has a french drain around the perimeter.
I have french drains around the perimeter of the basement with a little curb like lip in front of the walls.
