I have gone all the way around my 65year old homeremoved the dirt down to the drain tile and repaired and or replaced bad mortar and repaired any cracks. I then put the dirt back in and regraded it. On the worst(leak wise) wall I added the steps of putting a tar like sealant on the wall as well,then graded the area that was not near the door and added stone nearest the doorway. When the snow in the backyard melted I had water coming in at the level of the bottom block right to the floor. Will putting the concrete sidewalk, with the felt/plastic buffer against yhe house help? I might add that this is a city lot and all the property behind us is running downhill towards our property.
