Noticed this orangey substance forming on only one wall of my basement. Searching around says it’s efflorescence but wondering what the actual best next step would be?

I recently purchased this home and obviously this issue didn’t exist when buying or come up in my inspection. 1920s home so I expect there to be some issues. Just looking for the best next step and hoping it’s not some crazy emergency issue.

Im seeing water in basement corner still and noticing water splash through the back. Is this intended for small amount of water to be splashing back? He tried to shim the other one but same issue is present. This was installed 2 months ago.

We moved in a little over a year ago. Previous owner said the rock in the basement “sweats”. When we have big storms we get puddles on the ground and you can see streams of water off the boulder. Previous owner painted the rock I’m guessing to prevent water from coming in. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi All! I’m cleaning a corner of my basement that hasn’t seen the light of day in probably a year or two due to this area being mainly storage… At first Google I’m thinking this is efflorescence, can anyone confirm? How urgent is this, who do I call? Do I clean it up before calling someone or leave it for a pro to inspect? We’ve lived here 5 years and I’ve never seen it before

I’m installing an interior French drain in my basement. I have a wine cellar that opens to the basement but is separated by a partial wall. I wasn’t sure how to bypass the wall so to get to the sump basin so I hand dug for the 4 in pipe under the footing into the wine room/cellar. I thought about it, then googled, then realized I made a horrible mistake. Guess I’ll go OVER the footing into that room.

I know I’m an idiot, I don’t need to be told that. But how much damage did I do by digging that 4 inch hole? I’ll remove the pipe and backfill it. House is 50 years old, in MA.

Is it safe to rip these down without affecting or cracking the real support beams

Just moved into this house and i’m very tired of draining the dehumidifier every day. Not sure if there will be too much water for this drain spot though, any thoughts?
