It can be a daunting task but with the proper knowledge and proper tools, home repairs can be a fun challenge. There is a lot of information on home improvements at www.b-dry.com. They have information on the causes and solutions to your basement leakage. They list several problems with your french drains, and several more problems that can occur from the leakage, such as rotting wood and insect problems (termites!). Basements are known to be a bit more moist, with the lack of proper ventilation, but leaving the leakage problem will make it much worst, and those moisture loving bugs will thrive.
