ᐅ Issues with the light well, unfortunately water in the basement

Good morning,
we have been living in our house for 2 years now, and this is the second time we have water in the basement.
The water is rising and cannot drain quickly enough through the clay soil around the house.
My question to the experts here: Has anyone experienced the same problem and found a solution?
My idea was to cover the window with a plexiglass sheet and place a submersible pump in the light well.
For this, I would need to reopen the edge of the driveway and lay a drainage hose into the front yard.

Are there any other suggestions?

Best regards,
Tim

Install a drainage system and a drain below the light well, and connect them to the sewer line.

Thank you for your reply.
Would I need to break up the driveway again for this? It seems the municipality does not allow a drain connection to the sewer line. I already asked during the house construction, and it was denied.

I have my own shaft on the property.

If you ask a lot of questions, you will also get answers that you might not like.

How is the roof drainage disposed of?

The water from the roof flows into a cistern in front of the house and into the sewage system.
It’s possible that the cistern was full yesterday and overflowed. This caused the water to find an underground path to the light well on the side :-/

There was simply some negligence in the drainage planning. The effort to correct this afterwards is naturally higher. But do it right from the start, as already described above. Drainage beneath the light well, connected to the cistern (so only indirectly to the sewer) – done. How do you want to supply power to and monitor the submersible pump?
