Waterproofing in Stow: Questions

My Stow house is from the 1970s. Can its basement still leak?

Yes. Age is only one factor; gutters, downspouts, grading, cracks in poured walls and the joint where the wall meets the floor matter as much. About 53% of Stow homes were built before 1980 (ACS 2024 5-year). Start with the outside drainage, then look at cracks and drain tile.
