There could be many reasons why your basement has water, including plumbing problems, drainage problems, landscaping issues, etc.
Water can penetrate your basement through:
Floor cracks: Floor cracks can occasionally indicate a serious structural problem. Wall cracks: Whether you have plaster or drywall, cracks can increase the risk of water damage. Joint cracks: From your house naturally settling, cracks can appear along the joints where the drywall sheets meet. Under- or over-footing: When not done properly, sealing a crack as a minor repair can build water pressure. The pressure can force its way over and under-footing and cause more damage to the wall foundation.
Many times basements/crawl spaces leak due to water (or hydrostatic) pressure on the walls’ exterior. With a free Thompson's waterproofing inspection, you will be assured that your inspector will provide the appropriate solution.

R. D. From Steelton, PA:
"From the first call to the final installation it was fabulous. Everyone was extremely friendly and patient with all my questions. After everything was completed you couldn't even tell they had been here and did all the work that they did because they cleaned up so well. What a pleasant experience especially considering how severe the problem in my basement was. I spoke to other companies but none were as knowlegable or friendly".
