Here's a Tip

You can't yell at the rain and have it stop, but you can make sure that your gutters and downspouts work well, your grading around your house is graded away from it, and that your sump pump discharge pipe is directing it's water far enough away from the house to not be reintroduced to it.

Why do I have a wet basement?

As homes settle over time, cracks can form in the foundation and cause a basement water leak. When heavy rains/snow seep into window wells and around your home it can force through the crack(s) and cause a basement water leak. Other issues such as poor grading, broken gutters, failing drains, and more can also contribute to a water basement leak.
