You could go semi industrial and run a wire end to end through each level, similar to a wire stair railing. No need for the right angle drill then.

I have friends in the marine salvage business. I have seen them bring in boats patched with wedges and splash zone. splash zone is some amazing stuff. that is a lot of water with pressure have no idea if it would work here. But could slow it down till a real fix like was suggested. good luck be interested in seeing what works.

the town is basically a swamp and basements sit in water, so even an engineered solution like this may not get the job done. doesn't mean it's not a longer-term consideration, depending on cost.
with 3ft thick foundation walls I'm not worrying about new holes developing. this is a man-made hole that's been ignored by the previous owner.

Okay, so I have this ridiculous noob question that I hope is not below the level of this thread. I have a ~50yr old house on a small lot. I want to add on an attached 2 story garage/shop/home office, and add a large covered front porch/front entryway which would require an additional roofline.
Where does one start with a project like this, a GC? Architect? Arson/insurance? I'm not interested in doing much or any of the legwork on this, want to hire it all out.

this ^^ but IME that can still leak if you get really cold weather with freeze/thaw shifting, I tried a cement patch from the outside on a 5' slab to above ground foundation crack in my basement but it leaked the next year
it was finally fixed with a compound buddy injected into the crack from the inside, it was water seeking like gorrila glue , went thru all the pores & crack in the cement and fixed it up 100%

For the wine thing...
You could put some “top mount” drawer pulls on the front edge of the shelves, so they are pointed up and will stick up just far enough to keep a bottle from rolling off. Mortise them in so they’re flush with the face if you need a project to do while drinking all the wine.

^^^ This is a good idea, otherwise I would just find some matching wood in half by half or something and glue it in, just so the bottles don’t roll out.

To add to what teleee said, you could start by visiting your city or county's planning/permit counter to see what you can do. eg. What are the setbacks? Will you need a variance? (due to the small lot) Are attached ADUs allowed? (might make more sense as an ADU rather than a simple addition) Ratio of pervious/impervious sq ft? Are you subject to watershed restrictions? etc, etc
They might have a "tool kit" that anticipates and answers most of the 'what do I' questions.
