My home was built in 1950 and the basement is made out of cinder blocks . There are at least three spots that water is coming in from .
The worst spot is from two windows that were filled in with bricks and concrete and the other two spots are at the bottom of one wall there not as bad but still needs to be addressed .
Ive also noticed that I have at least two gaping holes that I can see daylight threw at the top of the basement wall .
This home has been added onto so much since 1950 and was done half arsed I know at one time all of the floor joist were scabbed over from major rot .
Also right next to the stairs going to the basement is dirt behind a wall I have a partial wall that extends into the basement and about two foot of the permitter of the basement wall was never built . As far as I know I have a sump pump so the water dose go away but it's annoying I can't use my basement until I get her water tight . I'll take pictures and post em up
