Had a nice little foundation leak during the last rain storm. Installed a drain line last fall to divert two downspouts and front walkway run off away from the house which helped a lot. Front walkway and a big retaining wall next to it ultimately need to be removed and reinstalled with proper grading and drainage. That's going to be a huge and expensive project so for now I'm just replacing all the worn out concrete sealant and hoping for the best.

You don't really want water holding inside of the breeze lock, you want it to drain and dry out or the brick will rot inside to out and instead of a pinhole you have a bowling ball, it'll just take longer to happen.
