The page identifies the absence of downspout extensions as a possible cause. These extensions are important for directing water away from the foundation of your home, preventing it from pooling near the basement.
Downspout extensions work by channeling rainwater and snowmelt further away from your home's foundation. This reduces the accumulation of water near the basement walls, thereby minimizing the risk of water seeping into the basement.
For additional information on drainage and preventing water seepage, the page suggests referring to the "Drainage section" within the "About Your Lot guide." This guide likely provides further insights into managing water around your property.
