wet foundation wall

[jsgorfine]

I have a stonefoundation which has never leaked till now. It may be from the drainpipe ending at the corner of the house. Paint and dusty concrete are peeling. We recently had our heating system converted to gas, and I wonder if this c ould have caused a crack. What can I do?

It appear that you may be on the right track. If the stone foundation has never leaked before, it most likely is something simple. Is the dampness around the new heater?

Did they install any new vent pipes in that area?
Die the downspout pipe fall off ?

Check the relative humidity in the basement. You may need a dehumidifier during the humid months!
I don't know what area you live in but if you e-mail me I will give you a referral of someone in your area!
