Hi all,

seems that we have a small problem with the basement. The hatch at the back of the house leading to the cellar has started leaking. A wet vac cleaned up the 30 or so gallons of water but that’s not solved the problem. We’ve sealed the hatch but seems like water is still coming in. I did think to brick this up and fill in the hole with rocks / cement as it’s not like we use this in any way or ever will. (Really not sure what function this fills – if anyone has ideas i’d love to know). Any other ideas how to solve this issue I’d greatly appreciate as we’re currently stumped on how to solve.
