Expensive is digging out foundations to put in weeping tile and a sump.
I swear, you could have a house on top of the biggest rock in the Atacama Desert, and water would still find a way to get into the basement.
In Louisiana we just don't have basements. Too wet.
But you guys have to find a way to keep water out of the second floor.
Keep an axe in your attic in case you must escape upwards.
