Every basement of every old house I loved is either dank or has calcium build up on the foundation.
Is that just how old basements are?
I think it depends on location and age of the home. A lot of the oldest homes in my area are dirt floor basements, so the natural moisture is very expected. Newer ones are a bit less wet overall, but many still have issues from erosion over time. There isn't as much calcium build up in my area, but it's safe to assume that if it's common in your area, it's probably widespread.
