hi, i have a split level home, every spring and sometimes when it rains a great deal, we have water seeping into the garage and by the chimney area, both on the same side of the house....we have septic (no sewer facilities available in our town), which also has had water backing up the basement toilet when the water level is high.(the leeching fields are to the side of the garage and I have had the septic checked out last year and they said that it was in great shape, but the water table was low)...i have taken out the toilet and put in a composting one, but i would like to have the garage/chimney area fixed (especially since the furnace is connected to the chimney and that floor gets wet). I don't know if there is something we can do, or if i should have a professional do the work, what is it i am looking for....thanks, i hope this makes some sense....georgie
