The water problem might be something simple. Does all the
ground surrounding the house slope away from the house? It could have
settled over the years. Even a few inches right against the foundation
will matter.

How would a grading issue only cause melting snow water to enter the basement
but not heavy rain water? I'm not saying it's not a grading issue, just curious as to
how it would cause the symptoms that Leza is experiencing.


I thought about that and it is possible. The ground right next to the
foundation may not be freezing for the first 6 to 12 inches allowing the
melt to seep rather than run down a path. Not sure if just grading
would cure that though, some sort of waterproofing may be required.
