Basement waterproofing, chimney

water was coming out chimney chute door, not anymore.

the homeowner ‘tried’ (lolol) mudjacking all driveway slabs $$$ and used epoxy along perimeter aka along edge of house and driveway, continued to leak.

told her to do a water test with a hose , yup, water begain coming in through chute door = has 1 or more exterior cracks etc on outside chimney wall (s) BELOW grade… video proves that again lol.

she called many waterproofing errrr, waterdiverting so called specialists spanning one year, pfttt! All told her bullsht, most would have cost more $, NONE would have waterproofed the actual problems = idiots

N so we saw cut enough of 1 slab in order to hand dig n waterproof the damn problems ya see that were… OPEN… open, open, open.

i ran a longer water test with her hose after job, no water enters and remember NOW after job there is all peastone in trench along–against chhimney walls = it would have leaked much faster IF we missed something, lol yeah ok.
