well in all honesty theres fixing outside troubles, like leaking
downspouts, and rebuilding the exterior, like regrading a entire yard,
to help a little.
after having replaced nearly all the outside concrete, regrading a
entire yard, replacing all the downspout and drain lines taking them
to daylight and installing a exterior french drain i found the real
problem was a high water table, which was finally fixed by the
interior french drain.
one wants to aavoid pouring in 10 grand of ineffective repairs.
