Lee, No; I am in Indiana.
The water is definitely concentrated in one part of our basement, but it is of course running into other rooms. The only good thing is that the basement is unfurnished, and we have our washer and dryer down there, but there on a cement platform! There is an area of the house where the sidewalk or grass curves inward, in other words, slopes down, so the seepage is greater because the water isn't running away from the house; it's running into it, apparently through the walls! I even felt wetness on the wall, where the majority of the water is coming in through. Would a sump pump also help alleviate the problem, for the meantime? Or, is that used for another purpose?

I'm hoping you are not in the Southern areas surrounding Texas. Lee -- Breeding rabbits is a hare raising experience.
