Cracking
Cracks are one of the most common foundation leaks that can come in a variety of shapes, sizes and directions. For example, you may see step-cracks on the wall.

It could be from settling, pressure on the walls or under the floor, or any number of other causes.
Damp Wall
An unpainted block will turn dark gray when it's wet. A painted wall will begin to chip and peel. A poured wall might show discoloration. In any case, there might be white or dark outlines surrounding the area, which means that it either leaked before, or substantial moisture has come through in that area.

Dry Rot
Dry Rot can appear as a brownish-black fungus growth on walls, clothing and other surfaces; it typically grows on wood surfaces. Keep in mind that dry rot is a byproduct of the decaying process - you'll need to not only replace whatever is damaged, but also find and cure the cause of the dry rot forming in the first place, it is a good idea to have a professional look at this immediately!
