2006 home in Georgia, two story on a walk-out basement. Four sides brick veneer. I observed this moisture intrusion at the basement floor along the wall. See diagram I have already elevated the problem in my report for my client to seek further evaluation. For my own edification, I would be interested in what others think. Where is the water coming from, the cause and a possible cure. Thanks in advance ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/d/3/d38cd6124e4a047c3fcc481948aa9434c244ba6a.png) ![IMG_0581](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/e/3/e3ae3380b7fd32d8bc5737c2c04d56e198bca17c.jpeg) ![IMG_0583](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/3/a/3a6fbf4f08743095e827277d2abff3669559fe71.jpeg) ![IMG_0590](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/4/0/40f794bfb4b2a1c3408e45eeae3a917e348ee1f1.jpeg) ---

If you’ve eliminated normal interior and exterior sources. Floor looks clean, I’m thinking someone sprayed the floor down and it’s a low spot. 🤷‍♂️ ---

It was clean. Good point. And to complete the picture. There were other basement issues; such as that cut-out which I think there should be a vapor barrier. Widespread mold on the overhead floor structure. A large floor crack with settlement under the fireplace (25’ away from this). Check out what was inside the floor cut-out. That is black corrugated pipe and a capped sanitary drain pipe. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/3X/3/a/3a2262390b413c3e24f5402c04b0d0f96bd667f3.jpeg)
