Dan, check out what this homeowner did, aka tried, he raised and sloped the grade AND he added shtt i dunno about 20-30’ long downspout ext’s AND he put a whole LOTTA lol plexiglass, wood up-against his house… go 'head check it all out… Dan, he still leaked, he leaked LESS but kept leaking and began getting some MOLD inside, hence he finally let go of some money for the needed waterproofing to keep water out n stop the mold
this video is the ESTIMATE, you can see, hear him lol, at 2:20 i even say to him, ‘Go ahead and raise the grade to the ROOF’
He hired us cuz of the mold but also HE said because, prior to finding us, all who gave him previous estimates over the last 5 years were interior system crooks who wanted MUCH more money to, divert the incoming water which would NOT have stopped/prevented further mold.
Here is ‘part’ of the job,
Dan, see the underground tree root? It continues UNDER his concrete patio, a patio he already tried mudjacking AND plopped some tar along perimeter of patio and house hahaha
This job, the DIG, should have been 6’ deep… it was 7’ deep because he raised the grade 1’ high, thanks, you will start paying for the extra shtt we gotta do
and yes, showed him everything including that root and gace him another est in case he wanted a lil more done or was worried the root would do more damage
Dan, what else would YOU had have this guy do? Raise the grade to the ROOF?
that’s exactly what i said about 12-15 yrs ago about home inspectors repeatedly recommending grading for leaky basements, same with, ‘Oh just monitor the foundation crack’… yeah very old.
nobody asked you to read my shtt, you can easily pass it by.
Folks, this is a contractor who is continuously putting down home inspectors on a home inspector’ forum who bragged about being kicked off other forums for same. Food for thoughts!
Chuckieeee, here is a home inspector knocking, shtting on, another home inspector…hmmm, guess this is okay with you right?
He writes, “I was asked to check a home that was purchased and previously inspected, look at all the things the inspector missed (not me)…”
