In my experience, there isn't really a lot someone will do if they come have a 'look'. They'll tell you to ensure the ground is graded away from the house, and that down spouts are taking water away from the foundation. If all this is already done, you have two options: 1) Leave it as PP said, or 2) Pay to have it injected by a basement waterproofing company (cost $350-400). I always use Gord's Waterproofing. |

Maybe start outside. See if any downspouts are draining in that area and make sure they are diverting water away from the home and not beside the home. |

I have the same type of leak. Called Armadillo and they were quoting $300-$350 +tax for injection. Also called Omni, some guy came by and did a near 1 hour long presentation, quoted $960 tax in for some high tech overkill fix... Haven't fixed it yet. I would say just leave it unless it gets really bad... or if you're planning to finish your basement anytime soon |

That way you can confirm that "the fix" has actually worked. Most fixes like this are injected and most work, but I have seen a few leak after they were done.
