If the wall in my basement is leaking very slightly, is the main/only solution to the actual water issue to add grading outside? What else?

It is under a deck, which I can rip up a bit and fill with dirt, but is that likely to solve it?

We noticed from slightly bubbling paint and efflorescence.

Are there any downspouts that might be draining near the foundation? Water can travel a long way. Also, are the gutters over the deck overflowing when it rains?
