I have learned my lesson. My audio room is now flooded and my two 6x12 raw sub cabinets and amp boxes in "water resistant" MDF are toast. Everything that was painted is fine. Now I build them and take them to painting before anything else. UGH!!!

We already replaced the foundation drain on that side of the house to try and fix it the first time it happened. Will not know more until we get everyone out of the room and see below the rug. Took 28 years to happen so whatever it is was slow in progression until the year we got 62in of rain, 50% more than any other year. Then things started happening.

Good luck with that. They don't like small jobs. Maybe a landscape company.

Thanks,
It is not a small job. About 70 ft x 30 ft of regrading and possibly more with adding multiple tons of top soil. Will contact landscaping if they do not respond. Luckily multiple excavators and landscapers in the area.
