[quote=Anonymous]As said above, if the grade is toward the house or flat and the foundation is cinderblock, water can enter. How old is this home? Is there external weeping tile (pvc piping along foundation footers leading to sump pump? Grade should be 6 inch drop every 10 feet from foundation. No plants within 24 to 36 inches of foundation. No tree branches over roof. Roof in good repair. Gutters and downspouts in good shape with extensions 10 to 15 feet away from house down grade. Water is getting through foundation. That is a bad sign unless there is some obvious factor to explain it. [/quote]
