Custom Built DIY Shoe Rack for our Garage

We built a custom DIY shoe rack for our garage. It's made from plywood and poplar using brad nails and pocket screws. The finish coat is just a basic semi-gloss black.

What is the best way to fix water leaking in the basement?

During the last week heavy rain, I notice in one corner of my basement there is water leaking. Whom should I call to fix it? Or is this something home owner to fix it himself?

    water had eroded, patched it, installed Big O and a healthy layer of clean gravel then back filled it. Leak is now fixed, but it's a lot of work, I have clay around my home, rented a small excavator from the rental shop for $180, make sure someone who is used to working with them operate it, you don't want to ding the foundation wall and break it, that will lead to more expensive and extensive repairs! Good luck!

    None of them have worked for me. IDK if they acclimated to those substances or not, but I ended up calling out a Pest Control Company and having them how me all of the areas that I didn't know about. We then sealed the all of areas off and that is the only thing that helped. Good luck to you! xo
