waterproofing from outside

It's amazing to me how many people don't think about this and how many houses we see with water issues that are so obvious on what's causing them.So, because you've ALREADY experienced issues, this may be a solution.A more comprehensive deal of digging down, putting in drain tile, perhaps a vapor barrier on the outside, would be a 'next step' in my opinion.IF you are selling and need that 'comprehensive' thing as a selling point, I might consider going further, however if you are holding for awhile and can observe results I'd go with my original recommendation.
