I have a concrete block front stoop/porch that is falling apart. The basement extends underneath the top of the stoop and in heavy rain it will leak inside.

I am trying to decide what the best repair or remodel method will be. I am located in Iowa and would like something that is low maintenance and can stand up to the weather.

Looks like the first thing on the list is to stabilize the ground. Anything you put on top of that soft ground will fail over time. Is the leak coming in at the top or someplace down the basement wall?
