Mostly, leaks occur due to grading problems. If the soil grade is higher than the foundations, then the water and soil can create pressure that forces water through the weak spots between the top of the wall and the sill.
Another cause of foundation damages occurs due to issues like poor structures, climate and inadequate grading amongst other issues. Poor grading could cause this if water drainage is clogged leading to water pooling on the walls of the property. A poorly installed downspout, defective decks or exterior feature, coupled with heavy rainfall could all cause serious problems.
Upon noticing water flow from foundation walling tops, one should verify externally to assess whether they can see any causes described above.
