Is that a one story house?

Here the basement floor is below the sewer drain and deeper eaves wouldn't do much of anything to keep the 1st floor siding clean.



2 stories. But the wind usually doesn't blow hard enough for the rain to hit the side. So it works.

The contractor wanted to put in a sump pump, but I wanted a gravity drain instead which required a trench to put it in, which was well worth it. (The power around here goes out whenever it rains hard, so much for the sump pump.)


I replaced my electrical sump pump with one powered by water pressure. I figure that if both water AND electricity go out, I'm screwed anyway.
