got milk? #-o Yup, B Dork’s sold and installed an interior system here, in NC, to previous owner and then they put paneling up against wall(s)…and so umm duuuuh, since B Dry did NOT correctly identify where the water was actually entering (nor did they stop it), mold began growing on duh wall(s) ](_,)](_,)](_,)](_,)](\*,) PHOTO’s… [http://www.flickr.com/photos/127581587@N06/sets/72157648649395902/](http://www.flickr.com/photos/127581587@N06/sets/72157648649395902/) And umm oh, basement still leaks, new/recent homeowner has to pay to fix all the actual problems! ](_,)](_,)](_,)](_,)](\*,) Have talked with the homeowner 😉 Her recent video… did a WATER TEST with a hose, ran water from ground level down only in this area… [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A92VlHs6S4](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A92VlHs6S4) She did call B Dork water-dorking back out since they had that SO CALLED lifetime warranty blshttt, loooool, , they put a flexible membrane on the inside wall… looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool! I D I O T Z Z Z! So, this is who ‘some’ HI’s and realtors and home improvement talk show radio hosts highly recommend huh… its a friggn joke baby!

I never recommend any contractor and always recommend water issues be fixed on the outside, that system is a bandage not a fix. ---

> [@wwilson3](#): > > I never recommend any contractor and always recommend water issues be fixed on the outside, that system is a bandage not a fix. Your a good man, not leading your clients into the land of ‘make-believe’ waterproofing! 😉 Cannot say that about some other home inspectors, realtors etc. Here’s another home where, apparently, another B Dry system was installed, pretty much same problems (the usual bs) [![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/internachi/original/4X/a/6/1/a61d62a228fcdeb65ebcac9fb38873bb79578c20.jpeg "When Basement Waterproofing Goes Wrong") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ju5HP4WN3XI) Know how many other people have MOLD etc BEHIND the crap these inside system companies place against the basement walls? Or where homeowners put paneling/drywall against basement walls after these bimbos installed their junk. Unless a basement wall has NO paneling/drywall etc up, and some of these inside system turds can see the wall, like a poured wall with 1+ leaky rod holes then, most homeowners are getting lied-to, bs’d… they sure are! Back to short video just posted… umm, looool, the problem with the company doing the video is, they’re just ANOTHER interior basement system company!!! looooooooooooooooooooooool They are putting in another inside system which will NOT fix/waterproof the homeowners ACTUAL problems, sheesus K man! This happens… a lot. One interior system company installs their sht and then, somewhere down the road when the homeowner WAKES UP and notices they still leak, have mold etc, they call ANOTHER friggin inside company, UN-------------be------------lievable incompetence!

:roll: thanks for that. Was simply asking, generally speaking… some HI’s are freakin lost when it comes to leaky basements and ummm, many tell homeowners to solve their problem they can raise and slope DUUUUUH grade. ---

Plenty of us have avoided the mold gimmick Mark. I just can’t do that to my clients. Keep up the good work. 😃 ---

The only way to “fix” it is to bite the bullet, dig the perimeter, and do it right. Like should have been done to begin with. Call a reputable contractor. ---
