I think all concrete and block basements leak at some point don't they as they develop cracks? Conversely my log home has a wood foundation with gravel sidewalls and a drain system probably similar to jludwig, and it's stayed dry as a bone since we built it in 94.' I have heavy clay soil too.

I believe the wood is impregnated with something.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
