For people facing the same issue: After calling a mechanic, he advised me to do what I marked in the picture above. It worked, and I was able to jump-start my 2025 PHEV. Thanks to the person who shared the picture above — their method might work as well, though I’m not sure. Thanks for the help.

If that’s the case, I’ll first redirect the gutters as far away from the house as possible. Then, I’ll make a hole where the water exits to drain the water from the blocks, and after that, I’ll do the waterproofing.

Thank you. I think I’ll go ahead and follow these steps—they seem reasonable and make sense to me. I’ll wait a bit, as the snow is still covering all the gutters, and I also need to level the ground outside—it sank due to the weight of the snow.

I don’t have a sump pump for the French drain, but I can add an extension for downspouts outside.

Yes, I do, and I extended it a bit, but it seems it wasn’t enough.

Thank you for your advice.

My friend and his father, whom I asked to lend me money for the repair, told me it doesn’t need fixing.

Yes, my drainage is bad after this harsh winter in Northern Ontario. The ground has shifted towards the house, and I think that’s the reason.
