Question for the landscapers...

[spence]

After demo'ing my basement bathroom and starting to build a new shower I've created a water problem. The foundation leak, that I didn't know I had, used to drain through a hold in the slab, which has now been repaired. Instead of draining into the earth, the water now runs along the inside wall of my foundation and into my office.

I had tried to fix the problem by sealing the crack and covering the entire thing with Drylock when it was exposed, but the hydrostatic pressure keeps pushing water through.

I think I know where the issue is, and know how to fix it, but it will require that I displace a really nice yew to perform the repair. The bush isn't old, but it's not new. It was planted from a 3 gal pot perhaps 6 years ago. It's in a desirable location, and even though it's not an expensive planting, we'd rather not loose it.

I need to perform this repair now. Is there any way to move and replant the yew without killing it in the middle of January?

thanks,
