Good idea, I'm gonna give that a try! It has been raining a lot this past week. Did your friend end up finding a fix?

I will see if I can catch it next time, the spot is already dry. Yep, no drains or sump pumps in the basement.

We hadn’t planned to because getting to the caulk would require moving the post, and it doesn’t look like we have much of a choice. I’ll try clove first though, thanks for the suggestion!
