There is a good chance the French drains or tiles on the outside of the basement walls are no longer working properly. This does mean that all of the landscaping and dirt around the home needs to be removed in order to correct the problem. This can be easily corrected with drainage systems in Westford MA. Poured concrete, cinder blocks or stone foundations can benefit from an inside drainage system.
