Water is not properly diverted away from the home. Water enters basement from seam between first floor and basement, trickling indoors alongside the foundation. We are told we need a grading diverting the water away from the home.

Basement Water Damage Restoration
Basement flooding is more often than not the result of faulty exterior grading, faulty exterior sloping and the lack of gutters. The leaks in basements are easy to detect, but most of the time these leaks go unseen, with the result that water damage from basement flooding is seen. Water damage restoration for a basement therefore, is mainly about identifying whether the sources are internal or external.
Mold and mildew are dead giveaways, and are easy to spot. If you've noticed that musty odor that's typical of mold formation in your basement, begin looking for the growth immediately. Metal feet of furniture that are rusted, white patches on concrete walls, water stains on walls and floors, floor cracks with stains around them indicating water pressure -- theses are all signs of a water damage problem that could get ugly, if left untreated.
A sump pump can be a godsend when your basement gets flooded. Make sure that your sump pump is perfectly serviced, and is in mint condition. Nothing is worse than a sump pump that refuses to work just when you need it for basement drying. Most components of a sump have to be replaced within 10 years, and if your sump pump is older than that, replace it immediately.
