The problem comes from a faulty gutter, this I know. What I am wondering though is, should I also repair the place where the water is getting in the basement? It is coming though a few spots in the wall. What is the best way to fix this issue. If at all possible I would like to do it myself, don't have a lot of money. Thanks

Water in Basement I have a 50+ year old house and I have been in the house for 3 years. I get water in the basement in a few areas. I have corrected / slowed the water down in several of the spots by building a slope around the foundation. I can tell the cracks have been repaired / doctored up and painted over in the past. I am about to add a bathroom in my basement and I have one repaired crack that I feel I need to fix because it is very close to one of the walls I am going to finish and I would like to take care of it now. I feel I have to attack this from the inside because I am unable to do anything from the outside because it is under my portch and I dont have mutch room to work with. The water is comming in the a tiny hole poking out through the paint. From what I can tell under layers of paint it appears to be an area about 6 inches wide that has been repaired so I dont imagine the crack is that deep. I am thinking of repairing it with a kit sold at my local HD. I think it calls for breaking out the loose concrete and filling it back up with a mix and then paint over it again. Any advice on repairing this? Anyone had a similar situation that could tell me more? Working from the outside the only option I have is to add more of a slope to the ground under the portch. Thanks
