Here are two companies that can trace your basement water problems

Dear Glenn: We have water coming in through our basement's poured wall and do not know its origin. You gave out the name of a company on your radio show that could thermally detect the origin of the water and I forgot the name. Can you give me the company's contact information?

Rob, Clarkston

Dear Rob: Here are two companies to call. Infrared Services of Michigan, (810) 329-9033, www.ismichigan.com, and Thermal Imaging Consultants, (586) 783-8885, www.thermalimagingconsultant.com; both will do a good job.
