When I bought the place there were water issues in the basement. I put new window wells and a quad axle dump of dirt around to regrade as well as new gutters. Haven't had a problem since, except for the storm in august that dumped 15" in <24 hrs on this end of town. Many of my neighbors had flooding because their sump pumps couldn't keep up. I had a bit of seepage around the edges. Fortunately I sit a little higher than the neighbors and we didn't lose power.
