Some Thoughts ...

Hi Lisa,

Yes, there are options.

Here's a recent post, and follow-up I made, that addresses things like gutters, downspouts, and landscaping. Leaking Basement. Don't get too 'lost' in the original Post. Instead, just get a feel for it and concentrate on what I said in the follow-up.

In addition, you can talk to your builder about having a foundation drain installed. Also, a sump-pump-based system is an option too. I'd start with the things I addressed in the above Follow-up to see if it's a simple matter of fixing the landscaping. There are possibly more options which others may offer on the Forum.

My best to ya and hope this helps.
