The basement stays pretty dry. The only time I’ve seen any wetness was when they were building the house before grading and gutters … and then it took a constant down pour with all the water from the the roof running down the sides of the foundation. Haven’t see anything since and we’ve had some pretty good storms. Bottom line is I’m pretty safe … but that said it’s not 100% certain.

I think I’ll beef up the drainage system a bit anyway …. especially on that side of the house.
