RE: My range is under water!
I'm glad you caught it early Scott and kept ahead of it.
That's one thing I'll never worry about. I'm high on a mt/hill and even though I get run off, my excavator did a fantastic job or making sure it goes around the house. The drains are made to take it all away and I have Superior Walls, bone dry! I knew I wanted to finish it.
In my old house, I had to take a day off in 96 when we had 20 some inches of snow one day and 60 deg weather the next. I had to buy a pump and keep ahead of it.

RE: My range is under water!
The only way to really fix this.....is to excavate the outside of your foundation walls and waterproof it, correctly. That's likely what was suggested for the $18K figure, above. I've had to do it on construction projects.....and while it's expensive....it's the only real way to stop it.
Sorry this is happening, Scott. We got lucky with ours. it's 30+ yrs old and dry as a bone.
