Not sure what "adjustment" the builder made to the gutters, but it appears
he messed them up. If they work as they should, all rain, even in heavy
downpoars, should drain out the spout and well away from the house.

Is the area where you are getting the leak where the spout is located? If
so, then it isn't draining as it should, perhaps a block, or improperly fit
connection. Is it a corner away from the spout? Does the water pour over
the side of the gutter at that point? Then the gutter isn't draining
towards the spout. I can't say that I know of any way to adjust this short
of taking the gutter down and re-hanging it so it drains properly.

If it's a new build, it seems it would be the builders responsibility to get
it fixed. If the gutters are new on an older home, then I'd get the
installer on the horn for the repair.

Recently we moved to new home, initially all the water from gutters
used to go outside, my builder adjusted the gutters, since then
whenever there is heavy rain, we can see the basement leaks through
the corner. is there anyway can it be repaired?. Thanks in advance.
