Does installing ANY interior basement system stop/prevent...

Paul, hope your doing well man.

He mailed the book to me.

There was a short time we conversed but since reading his book and disagreeing with quite a bit of it, we haven’t talked since.

He seems like a good dude. A FORMER home inspector.
Have touched upon his book/ways several times including here…

But again, there are many in this business who seem nice when they show up at your house and bs you and try and sell you an interior system.

His book…

Would think some Nachi members and others, and myself, agree with him on SOME things, such as NEVER recommending 'aftermarket/interior basement systems :wink:

However, I do not see him recommend, show, in his book or website what is shown here, photos of many exterior cracks etc, don’t see him recommending to waterproof/exterior, and that’s sad man. :wink:

Appears he will attempt to DIVERT enough water on the outside, to try and keep basements dry. Yep. And some know w t f Bubba thinks of that.

Jesus, i mean, watch the 2 short videos posted in 1st link, spalling etc… an HI or former HI is NOT going to waterproof anything like THAT on the outside and instead, extend downspouts and raise and slope the grade?

His website claims NO ONE has more skill or EXPERIENCE in finding and correcting overlooked defects at a house’s exterior… realllllllly???

Reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly? Bet, bet, bet, bet, bet. loool

He’ll NEVER ‘find’ nor repair anything like this by recommending longer downspout ext’s or raising and sloping the grade…

Say again, seems his intentions are good but lacking in expertise in actually FINDING AND THEN FIXING whatever the true, actual problem(s) is!!!

Another good example of Mr G’s wanting to play water diverting games (fine, try all ya’s like, sheesh) and NOT truly ‘finding/identifying’ the actual existing defect which would lead anyone w/any common sense to the LONE means of repairing and waterproofing the problem…
inside basement, does anyone see a crack in the block wall???

Here’s the outside, THE problem in this area, it IS why the basement leaked. NO water management bs would have repaired/waterproofed the existing crack

Its cool Paul, you wanna recommend a book, sure, your choice sir, not me.
Why? Because he doesn’t REALLY find/locate the homeowners actual problem nor fix it.

Let me ask you Mr Paul, you would/have recommended his book to peeps, pretty much a water diverting book, but NOT me, not this or my other main thread… why? And do you believe his claim that NO ONE has more skill and experience on this subject than him?
