Boy oh boy, some just keep tossing that myth around, FIND aka determine how, where, why the water is getting in… THEN fix, repair, tuckpoint, waterproof etc those actual problems, do NOT play grading games especially if you are selling, buying a house.
Do YOU have a handful of minutes to observe a leaky basement? Sheesh man
Homeowner paid $16,000 for the concrete you see in back on on side of house and the shallow, stupid, exterior french drain tile… they paid someone else $$$ for the beams and inside attempt to try n keep water out, did ANY of that stop the water from entering??? G dang man, NO!
INSIDE basement, the leaky areas
You NEED to find, determine, understand HOW, where the water is allowed to enter, then fix the shtt correctly. Telling homeowners to REGRADE or pour new concrete or exterior french drain does not determine, identify how, where the water is allowed to enter!! smfh
:05… i ask lady, 'They paid $16,000 for concrete and ext french drain?
Her reply, “Sure did”.
Talk about EXPENSIVE bullshttt, incompetent, negligent busllhtt, yes it is.
They actually poured the concrete 1/2 way UP AGAINST the basement windows, total idiocy.
Here’s a look at the ext drain tile and concrete they poured that again, did NOT stop the water from entering, that’s why they found N then called my ugly balding azz!
Here is one of the actual problems, crack UNDER patio, under concrete that was PITCHED AWAY! Plus the cracked mortar joints etc smfh
Why didn’t YOUR grading recommendation, aka concrete AND the stupid F drain tile crap that cost a boat load $$$$$$ keep the basement dry???
