Retaining Wall can occur when water enters your home through damaged pipes, cracks, or faulty plumbing. It can cause extensive damage to your home, including:

• Cracked paint
• Musty odors
• Risk of injury
• Damaged flooring and walls
• Expensive repairs
• Illness due to unsanitary conditions 

If your basement is leaking, the first step is to identify the water's entry point. Common culprits include the floor joint, walls, windows, and plumbing fixtures. To trace the leak, you can use a moisture meter or conduct a visual inspection.

Water leakage refers to the accidental escape of water from a plumbing system, such as pipes, tanks, faucets or fittings. It can occur in various forms and in different locations within your home, including underground, within walls, or on your property's external surfaces.

Water leakage refers to water escaping from a pipe, tank, or other plumbing fixture due to a crack, hole, or faulty connection, while "plugging" means to stop that leak by filling the opening with a quick-setting material like a specialized "leak plug" that rapidly hardens to seal the water flow; essentially, it's a method to temporarily or permanently fix a leak by blocking the water's escape route with a sealant.
