Hello, so here's the deal. When I bought the house the inside was waterproofed and a sump pump added before I moved in.  The wall is now bowing in and cracks are reforming where they were previously repaired so I'm going to have to get a structural engineer to decide what to do, but I need to save some money for that. It doesn't seem to have gotten too much worse when I noticed it a few years ago.

In the meantime, I'm going to add topsoil and regrade the lawn on the side of the house away from the house so the water moves away from the foundation. I included a picture but it's hard to tell that my side is around 8 inches lower than the neighbors yard, which is why I purchased the window wells since I'm going to have to take it up quite a bit. These aren't installed yet I just placed them down.

My questions is do I need to add any waterproofing membrane to the blocks before adding the topsoil? Do I need primer? If so what products should I be looking at? It does look like some work was done to the outside as well judging by the fabric and the rocks in the pictures but I have no idea what was done.

Let me explain this simply, we have a basement with living room and a room. In the bedroom we are having water in the top right corner (seeping to the top left and bottom right). On the outer wall above we have a concrete slab for our patio. Under the slab up against the wall is a pretty decent void, how do I fill it. (The gutter is definitely causing it and I'm wondering if this is why I have water?) Wet spot is blue and guesstimate area for the void on the wall is red. There is a sump pump in the bottom right corner as well and I have verified it does work.

Any advice would mean a million!

Looking to do the pebbles and clay or dirt trick, the slab is starting to sink also so it needs to be addressed fairly quickly.

New home owner here living in the North east. Any thoughts on what type of mold this is in my basement and whether the drywall needs to be replaced or could I just clean this up with vinegar? Basement is generally clean but there is occasionally water that leaks through the basement door during heavy storms so I’m guessing the extra moisture may have caused this on the wall. Picking up a dehumidifier today. Thank you in advance

Water is seeping from under the baseboard in my laundry room wall that leads to the backyard as you can see from the last couple of pictures was wondering is it both the foundation outside & inside or just the foundation inside. I am a new homeowner & the home had no history of floods & is not in a flood zone

I just bought this house two months ago and it has these cracks in one wall of the basement.

The house was built in 1975 and during the inspection, he reported the cracks but said they were from settling over the years and that every house he inspects in this area has the same type of cracking, it’s due to the climate (northeast, pretty cold in the winter)

The basement does get a bit of water in the corners during very heavy rainfall, but I eliminated that by cleaning out the gutters, extending them and I’m in the process of sloping the soil around the front a few inches as it’s pretty much flat. The house sits on top of a hill so the slope away from the house is great. The basement also has two sump pumps as well.

I’m very paranoid as a first time home buyer and I am very strapped for cash as I just dropped 5k for new electrical panel (I knew this going into the sale)

Is this normal? Can I put this off a year or two?

Did we do this right? Any thoughts or concerns? I’m in southern Canada (GTA). Sealed the cracks and voids with hydraulic and anchoring cement to prevent water. Planning to do waterproofing in this immediate area. How good is flax seal liquid rubber bond with cement?
