Water Penetration from Porch into Basement

The people who renovated our house before we bought it, installed a porch with tongue and groove slats right over the basement. Recently, we noticed water on the walls, floor, and insulation of the basement. Turns out, water is dripping right through the tongue and groove slats if there is any more than a light rain outside, or if we decide to water the plants that are on the porch.

What are the options here? Take the whole porch apart and lay a waterproof membrane?

Question

What is this for? I found it in Little Lake Park where I live and my mom and I both think it's a burnt railroad wooden nail from before metal was fully used

How can construction management software help me keep my projects on schedule, manage subcontractors, and stay within budget?

I'm looking for construction management software that can help me keep my projects organized from start to finish. Right now, it's challenging to track schedules, coordinate subcontractors, manage budgets, and keep all my project documents in one place. I also want something that makes it easier to communicate with my team and clients without relying on multiple apps or spreadsheets. What features should I prioritize to make sure I choose the right solution for my business?
