New Construction - Wet Basement

K K

last modified: 6 years ago

We are building a new home in NJ. We are nearing the final stages. About a month after the house was under-roof, the entire basement flooded - up to your ankles from wall to wall. The builder installed a perimeter drain that leads the water to an inlet away from the house. It hasn't flooded since then, but there is still periodic wetness in the basement - all over the floor and on the walls where they meet the floor. The basement will be dry for a week and then back to this wetness. The builder told us it's because there are no gutters or leaders on the house. We have concerns that there is a serious water problem with this lot. Any advice from the photos?
