Default Crack in Basement Floor Seeping Water

I think you will find that the crack is from water pressure under the
concrete that is due to a high water table (or possibly, from not a good
enough runoff of water away from the house on the outside).



Isn't that putting the cart before the horse? Probably cracked along
the pipe because it is thinner there.

The solution will probably be a sump pump which will operate as the water
table rises. If you do an Internet search on sump pumps, you'll probably
find some explanations of this.
