On a lot with no storm drainage, the source is almost always outside. That is where we start looking.
With no storm system on a Kathleen property, every inch of rain leaves through the soil, and a good share of it passes right beside the house. When a basement leaks out here, the source is usually something happening outside the house.
Roof water landing at the foundation, a grade that falls toward the house, a driveway shedding onto the backfill, runoff crossing the lot from higher ground. Any of those puts far more water beside the wall than it was designed to shed.
So the inspection starts outdoors. We walk the lot, follow the flow path, look at the gutters and the grade, then go inside and match what we found to the entry point. Fixing the source is usually cheaper than fixing the symptom, and on acreage there is room to do it properly.
Our basement leak repair scope is the same on every Kathleen home, whatever the Houston County ground turns out to be doing.
