This water can be from cracks in the exterior-facing concrete, a leaky pipe, worn out seals around windows, doors, and utility penetrations. Also, seasonal surges in storm runoff or groundwater can cause this water. Nevertheless, this moisture can cause serious problems, including mold growth, dry rot, and other issues.
