I have two floor drains in my basement. Both have water up to the top of the drain. If I pour water in, they do drain, but it doesn't look right to me. We have had record rainfall recently. Also, the waterline access outside in the yard, (covered by the round metal plate that says "Water"), is all slimey and water seems to be leaking out of the top & running down onto the sidewalk. It seems to have carved out a little ravine down the hill so I'm wondering if water gushes out of it when it rains; when I saw it, it was just wet. This is a second home, so I'm not there when it rains, but I can tell there has been water in the basement but not sure from where. Can anyone enlighten me?
