Had a nice little foundation leak during the last rain storm. Installed a drain line last fall to divert two downspouts and front walkway run off away from the house which helped a lot. Front walkway and a big retaining wall next to it ultimately need to be removed and reinstalled with proper grading and drainage. That's going to be a huge and expensive project so for now I'm just replacing all the worn out concrete sealant and hoping for the best.
Very often there just isn't a "higher up." Much easier, and especially easier on the mind, to not have a basement. At least for me.
So then your base floor floods
Lol no? My base floor is above ground. Wtf you think water is attracted to houses or smth?
No.
