Hi Roger, my basement has zero water. all of the foundation around the entire basement is filled and drained to follow the downhill direction of the ground. The basement access door is on the side of the house where the ground is the lowest, and the concrete run to the door is built on a downhill slope as well, so everything there runs away from basement (and the door I put in ) The door seals well with the house and ground and even in driving rain coming in against that door zero water comes inside. If you look at the pic you can see how much slope there is, works well
