House is pitched towards the street. So I don’t think grading was an issue. I moved in a year ago and in the front corner of the basement (unfinished room) started leeching small amounts of water up through the floor. I thought it was a grading issue with the lawn, so I re-graded it. I thought it was the underground downspout because I looked down and saw a crack, so I move the downspout down the driveway (see pic). I thought it was the concrete sinking towards the house  ,so I put a sandbag.

But I still get water when it rains hard. Not anything too extreme, but still concerning. I leave a towel and been tolerating it. I’ve been trying to rule out things over the pat year but im all out of options.

So…It rained hard twice this week, got the usual water but for some reason (I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner) but I lifted the metal plate in the water room and saw a small pool by I’m thinking the sewer pipe? Or water main, not sure what it is to be honest. The water room is on the same side of the basement but in the middle of the room. I have a video where I can visibly see water running/leaking from what looks like the sewer drain pipe. This was hours AFTER the rain stopped. Which I found weird.

Ive ruled out all that I can on my own, What are my next steps. Should I call the water and sewer line protection people? I really wanna try and solve this. But I feel lost.

THANKS!
