This video is a followup to a previous video about how to fix basement water problems yourself. It goes over some key issues to look at if you are having water problems. This is not a comprehensive list and is not a replacement for professional advice. This is a list of possible issues for you to consider (and/or try yourself) and are things I did myself to stop my water problems.

First look at where the water is entering. At those locations, assess the slope of the ground and make sure it slopes away from the house. If gutter downspouts are there with no drainage tile, install some drainage tile. If the basement wall is crack grind it out and fill with hydraulic cement. If that doesn't fix the problem dig down and install a French drain system around your foundation.

Below is a link to a video on how to repair a leaky crack in a concrete foundation wall.
