currently, the water is coming in in a small trickle when it rains hard. i think i need to dig up the dirt on the side of the property where it comes in, and do a patch. there was some significant flooding in the basement before i purchased the property which caused some of the supports to rot (which i am now replacing with steel adjustable beams). beyond that, there's that white powdery type stuff (Forget the name) that accumulates on the walls which i assume is due to moisture. i'm already stuck with this property, but i plan to purchase more in the future and i want them to be as hands off as possible, so just trying to look out for things that can cause me a headache (but i also want good deals, so maybe i'm doomed in that sense :D )
