Had a nice little foundation leak during the last rain storm. Installed a drain line last fall to divert two downspouts and front walkway run off away from the house which helped a lot. Front walkway and a big retaining wall next to it ultimately need to be removed and reinstalled with proper grading and drainage. That’s going to be a huge and expensive project so for now I’m just replacing all the worn out concrete sealant and hoping for the best.

    That’s not a basement problem, that’s a location problem. Look for houses that are higher up than other houses, the water will flow down the hill and flood the people who didn’t do that.
