we have a two part foundation... it looks like the original was field stone, which is still there. then at some point the house was raised and they added about 2 feet of brick. as far as i can tell it was running through the old mortar near the sub ground window and then a bit through the fieldstone (on the outside, the window has one of those cresant shaped retainers) but it just filled up like a pool in front of the window.
im sure that is a big problem by itself.
gutters are running away from the house as is now.
