After a very hard rain(Tropical Storm Ernesto just passed though),
water is coming into the house and wetting the carpet. The walls are
not wet and our roof is new. We think that the water is coming from
around where the block sits on the foundation. Has anyone else had
this problem? If so what sealer did you use or what did you do to fix
the problem?

Thanks for any help.

Is there standing water on the outside?
If so, some sort of perimeter drain is a good idea,
if not, is there now water trapped inside the block?
You should start deciding on a solution until you're
doing more than guessing at how the water's getting in.
