senior woman, sweet as could be, St Clair Shores MI
she seeked helped, first called 2 interior drainage system bums who told her she needed an INT system and sump pump both $12,000++
She only leaked in one area, back drive side corner
After calling the inside drainage system terds she called the city building department and someone went over and told her she needed to disconnect the back downspout, so she did, see photos below
and city guy also told her to caulk along driveway and house perimeter, so she did
and she kept leaking!!! hahahhaaaa smfh
i went over there and ran a water test with a hose at back corner and she leaked within a few minutes = there is an exterior crack, cracked parging etc below grade and it needs exterior waterproofing
some moron may say, re-caulk = idiot, just the truth
saw cut concrete apron in order to hand dig
one reason why it leaked
reason number 2
has NUTTIN’ ta do with drain tiles being clogged or broken, get OUTTA here!
I did not replace one stinky az drain tiles and rarely do and not one drop of water in these basements since we did these jobs, heLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLo!!!
first hydraulic cement
then thick az mastic, roofing cement n visqueen
then backfill with all gravel, replace your stupid concrete apron if you choose
cost? sht this was around 12 or more yrs ago when i still had my dump truck, could do many jobs for even less $, it cost $975 frikkkkkkkkkken bucks
Oh so some don’t like the structure of my paragraphs or choice of words Pfttttttttttttttttttttt
Guess what weasel brain, you don’t know how to help your clients identify leaky basements
water management my az, FIND the problem (s) and then fix it correctly and move on to the next problem you will have with your house, sheesh k
