It could be that the concrete was not sealed properly or the sealant has worn off over time. Happened at one home that I know of. If that’s the case, you need to move the dirt from around the house, reseal, replace dirt, plants, etc. However, the more likely cause is a window/windowsill leak.caulking usually takes care of that problem.
