Water leaking into basement concrete after rain

How do I fix this or whom do I call? It lines up on the outside at the natural gas line and meter, coincidentally or not. No other obvious signs. https://imgur.com/a/WS4lYSC

How are your downspouts and gutters?

The downspout is on the other side of the house, going into the ground https://imgur.com/a/WS4lYSC

Interesting, so does that mean the gutter is blocked?

u/Chris_Columbus_Hero

One of many possible scenarios, hop up on a ladder and check it out.

Could be that where the gas line enters there is a gap in the wall —-Or gutters as someone has mentioned.

u/Chris_Columbus_Hero

Mine does that when the gutter is full and water gushes over

how you fix it or who you call is going to depend largely on where it’s coming from

Had this same issue in my house when I moved in. Basement was unfinished so I wasn’t too worried at first. Decided to finish the basement, the contractor dug down on the outside where the water was seeping in. It sure what he did but it cost $600 and fixed the issue. Likely not an expensive fix. It won’t get better on its own but I personally wouldn’t worry about it u less you finish your basement or the problem gets worse.
