Alan, Gene -MO,Got it right. Built My son in laws house several years ago, mater of fact in 1980, laid up the block above ground EXCEPT the north wall.Did the dozer work and dug the north wall opening in the bank. Well come the rains and mold and water seeped in . the bed rooms down stairs showed mold and wet. He called an excavator with a backhoe to come out and dig around the north wall about 3 feet from the block. I told him to pitch the block ,wrap it with heavy mill visquene,set 2" high density darafoam over the visquene,then a 6" perferated drain tube next to the 2" darafoam .bring the tubing around the sides on a inch per 8 foot fall, fill the ditch with 1"1/2 rock ,back fill and grade away from the house.stopped the water ,mold. dampness for good. The block is not leaning into the basement. It was caught in time to avoid that problem. Can't use guttering up here as it fills with snow & icey rain, causing back up under the starter shingles.Rots the roof decking in short order. You will likely have to do about the same except your basement is probably down in the soil on 4 sides, then a sump pit would be required a ways from the house with a sump pump to bring the excess water up and far away from the home. If you do the manual labor and supply the material, it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg. you can back fill and do the grading with your tractor, Saves mucho bucks. Lots of luck PAl . LOU .
