Can we assume your gutters and downspouts, etc., are all working and
correctly placed?

And the only way to know for sure is to go outside in a heavy rain and
take a look. As an example, you could have a piece of corrugated
pipe attached to a downspout and it could appear fine. But in a
heavy rain, if it's not pulled up far enough and high enough over the
downspout, I've seen water pouring out.
