What this actually is
We start outside. Where is the water coming from, where is the ground falling, and where are the downspouts putting it. Fixing that is often most of the job and it is always the cheapest part of it.
Then inside: an interior perimeter drain to a correctly sized pit and pump where the water table or the construction makes that necessary, and tanking only where tanking is actually the answer.
Signs you have this problem
How the work runs
Outside first. Grading, downspouts, gullies and any buried line that is no longer working.
Readings on the walls and floor, and where the water is actually entering.
What we would do, in what order, and what each part buys you.
The work, then a hose test, then the readings again.

Questions people ask
Not if water is being driven at the wall under pressure. It will hold back damp air and it will fail against standing water. We will tell you which one you have.
Often both, sometimes only the exterior. The survey decides it, not the price list.
The first heavy rain. We hose test on completion so you do not have to wait to find out it is wrong.
