A Subterranean Termite Shelter tube in a basement. The Termites are getting through the small crack that exists between the slab floor and the side foundation wall. They are building this tube up the foundation wall looking for wood to eat.

This can happen behind your finished basement walls too. If it does you probably won't know until damage has happened. Since finished basements are heated they are more likely to have this happen.
