My house was built in 1952. It has a basement about 60% underground
with some high windows. There are some cracks in one of the walls and
in wet winters, water seeps through the cracks. One crack is 1/16
inch wide and runs from the window to the floor. Other cracks may be
several feet long, running mostly horizontal, but are thin. Water
seeps through most of them (as evidenced by the stains). I have
noticed water on the floor 2 of the 4 winters I have owned the house.
I live in Portland, OR where we get about 32 inches of rain from
October - June. The temperature rarely drops much below freezing but
every once in a while we have a cold spell with temperatures as low as
10 degrees for a few days.

Can this wall be effectively sealed? What should I use to seal it?

TIA,
Mike
