[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes the cause can be complex but it usually comes down to gutters, adequate drainage and good grading around the house. We had water in our window well that overflowed into the basement last week and after some sleuthing, figured out the underground gutter drains 25 feet away were not fully functional, backflowing towards the house, plus there's been some erosion over time, leading to a lot of water against the wall. Don't believe those basement waterproofing companies. We had someone come out and without really doing much diagnostics, offered a blanket solution of a $$$$ indoor drain tile system. We don't have a quote for our landscaping project yet (regrade the drain and regrade the soil), but I bet it will be cheaper, is much less disruptive, and it fixes the root cause of the problem.
