Pix would help.

Have you tried using a Shop Vac to clean it out?

Sadly that won't work. Today when I get home I'll take and post pix. The drain is PVC, about 1". goes into the ground straight down and then turns underneath the house, that's why I thought maybe a flexible hose pressure washer may actually work. What I don't want is some waterproofing company to come out and tell me they have to dig out under the entire house to redo the drain for some ridiculious amount of money. Thank you for responsing.

I'll try that this week, whatever day it doesn't rain, and see what pops out. I'll let you know. Thx

My basement has water damage from a clog in a pipe (a pair of small socks got flushed, how I don’t know but they were in there and water from other pipes found it’s way out of the laundry stand pipe and overran the floor drain in the furnace room) - there are lots of people in my area with basement flooding recently but that’s not much consolation when the floors, the lower 24” of drywall and carpet had to be torn out and I have to wait on insurance to put things back somewhat to normal!

My concern would be that if you don’t handle the full issue now it’s only going to get worse and digging outside under the house might turn into a big expensive hassle. I hate basement windows with the wells around them because here that means you can count on a wet basement and some don’t even suggest finishing the basement if those windows are part of the design.

Home Depot and Lowes stock a flexible rubber end that you put on a garden hose and use to shoot water to unblock small drain pipes. It is designed so that when pressurized by the water it will expand and fit tightly into the drain pipe. They come in various sizes, and I've used a small one to clean out the A/C condensate drain in my house. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Cobra-Rubber-Bladder/4777135

Plumber probably is your best bet here, but image they are pretty booked our right now with the rain and issues. The option mentioned above will work too. Can you cover the well in the meantime with some plywood to keep the moisture out?

My plumber fixed the clog, then I needed a remediation company to deal with the cleanup - so many basement issues in houses here in the Midwest!

Bruce in Northern Virginia thank you for the link. I'm in PG county so you know what I'm dealing with right now with all this stupid rain. I've never heard of or seen that thing you provided the link for but I've already made an online purchase of it and will use it as soon as I can

How close to the bottom of the window is the level of the dirt or rock in the window? The level over the years in My moms house that was built in 1958 was just a few inches from the window. She lives there alone now but once when my brother was staying in the basement bedroom, the rain had filled the window well so high it looked like an aquarium. The water came into the room like you turned on a hose. We did all the things you said you did but also dug out the window well so the dirt was at least 6" below the window. that gives it more time to soak in the ground before going in the house. So far so good. Because she only goes into the basement for laundry, who knows how long it was a problem.
