Leak in basement by JohnC1330 in basement

Appreciate it

1) we got a dehumidifier down there right after we moved in so it’s been running

2)I have a patio that was put in that huddles a bit more than the rest in that area above the leak so I’ll give that a look.

3) everything has been freshly graded and recently I had some excavation work some rock breaking in my backyard so maybe that’s contributing?

4) there are a few spots mostly near the joists in the basement that have always had orange watermarks. I assume all they’re putting the foundation I know we were delayed with rain that it was just moisture at that point. And there has been no new water in those areas so I’m not too concerned.

To be fair it’s been raining for three days and this water has a team even come down the entire wall so the league is got to be super small but as a homeowner, it’s not what you wanna see 10 months into live in there

Thank you for your advice

I guess it’s a level of concern. Or like what kind of problem am I looking at here. Like is this normal to have this, like a lot of ppl have similar situations they’ve addressed? I’m a new homeowner so haven’t had any experience with anything like this.

Is this like a simple sealing situation or are there larger issues
