[quote=Anonymous]Water there either is coming in from the side (groundwater that seeps down) or from below. It's much easier to fix the former - make sure all your gutters are clear, your downspouts are extended several feet away from the house Build up the soil near your house a bit so the terrain is highest against the house and then slopes away. For bonus points, put some small river rock or medium-sized stones along the edging to help disperse the water. If the water still comes in, it's likely coming up from the ground and you're going to need french drains and a sump pump. [/quote]
