LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WALL< THERE IS A FAUCET COMEING OUT THE CONCRETE BLOCK THAT I DRILLED A HOLE IN THIS MORNING> I DRILLED A `1/4" INCH HOLE IN A FEW BLOCKS THAT WERE WET AND LOOK WHAT HAPPENED
I don't envy the problem that your having! Definitely need to get that water away from the house.Don't let anyone try to talk you into sealing the inside of the basement wall either.The goal is to keep the water out of the wall,not let in partway and stop it.
I left a post earlier here about your problem with another poster...I presume the foundation walls haven't been waterproofed or if they were the membrane has failed.
Trenching the walls and waterproofing would be how I would do it,along with drain pipes,possibly yard drains,gutter downspouts all connected to drain away from the house along with the ground sloped min.6-8 feet away.
Just have to make sure the water isn't going to be a problem for a neighbor down the hill from you...(legal issues can be a drag!)
The 6 foot wall,I'd hire a reputable co. to trench that for you.The membrane you can apply yourself,correct thickness is key,along with protecting the membrane when you backfill.
You could probably do what other posters have said,alot of good advice has been given...IMHO,only way to get the dampness out is with properly waterproofed walls...
