Nope. Still just as clogged as it had been.
Neighbor lady's son-in-law pointed out this small hole in the bank of the creek and said that's where the pipe comes out. However, I dug it out a good foot and a half to two feet into the hillside and found no trace of pipe. So either he's wrong or it rusted away to literally nothing.
Supposedly, the county screwed up the creek when they put in a sewage line crossing the creek, through the path of the water, causing the level of the creek to rise a good foot or two, allowing the creek to block the exit of the drain pipe with mud.
I think it would be feasible to cut a ditch from about half to two-thirds the way from the wall to the creek, and just tear that section of pipe out and have the rest of it empty into the ditch. This should keep the end of the remaining pipe above the level of the creek. However, neighbor lady's daughter was having none of it. (Neighbor lady is 81, so not making many decisions for herself.) This situation has been going on forever, and they've basically just accepted it.
Supposedly, the family knows everyone in the county courthouse and several members are taskmasters (?) in some unintelligible local organization. So hooray there.
Son-in-law did confirm my suspicions that the basement flooding and the water that flows through the garage are the results of groundwater. Not sure if we could put in a pipe to try and collect it and direct it elsewhere, or how expensive doing that would be.
