[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our house is on a hill. The backyard is a significant slope down to the back of the house, and then a siginificant slope down from the front of the house to the street. The backyard is graded so that a lot of the water flows around the sides of the house. We also have an internal french drain along the back wall of the basement. No water issues in the basement.[/quote] Not yet…but I bet you your basement walls are saturated and that moisture then dries on both sides, with water vapor being diffused to the inside. Concrete and block are essentially sponges. You may not yet have visible water in the basement now, but I bet you have high humidity and a musty smell. Look behind your basement walls during the winter walls and you will see dampness. [/quote]
