How can you stop water from coming out of the cement basement floor when there is excessive rainfall?
Get it sealed. Concrete will weep moisture because its very porous. There are many different kinds of sealants out there and your local home improvement supplier will tell how you the best kind to apply. You paint it on like normal paint and it will make the concrete look shiny like a varnished piece of wood. This is due to the ground water wanting to rise back up through the floor.

How do you get rid of water in a basement?
First you need to find out where the water is coming from. If the block or cement walls are exposed, tape a 12 inch by 12 inch piece of aluminum foil to one of the outside walls (tape all 4 sides sealing the aluminum foil to the wall). After a day or 2 remove the aluminum foil from the wall. If the inside of the aluminum foils is damp but the back side (the side against the block or cement wall) is dry you have a condensation problem and good dehumidifier should solve the problem.If the block or cement wall side of the aluminum foil is wet but the inside is not you have a seepage problem. The water on the outside of the wall builds up until the hydrostatic pressure is great enough and the water then seeps through the block or enters where the floor and wall meet. This can be solved by using an above floor baseboard system to drain the water to a sump pump or drain. Waterproof.com has an above floor basement waterproofing system that you can install yourself for around $4 per foot.Read more: Why_basement_is_sometimes_wet
