Cracks me up. thanks for making my day guys.

You’re welcome! :slight_smile:

I would love to see Mr Bubber do a NACHI TV spot.
The ratings would hit the roof.
Opps…foundation.

Crass is FINE by me! Don`t forget…HONEST!

-have posted my fkk`g name,BBB record etc,several times
-say again, FACTS are facts regardless of name
-read the LINKS that have been posted-plenty of NAMES for ya there

Your a real class act Bubba!

Keep up the crass language its speak volumes.

haHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

You guys already have The Reinforcer Team, stick with them.

and yer a LOSER BREWSTER, i mean Ray Ray.

why did read my shtt in the first place?

Hey Wandy, ya losing business up there? Little slow?

You’re no match for me you half wit!

Fair enough…:smiley:

Holy Krist, yeah right,sure!

I post a fkkkg link, tell the truth and every now and then get a couple of Bullwinkle mfr HIs who post shtt back, for NO reason.

See, SOME of you dumb azz INSPECTORS whove been telling homeowners for YEARS they can solve leaky basements by raising-sloping the stupid grade and extending downspouts dont want to hear that your
recommedations were/are WRONG!

More, many more HIs will lose their fees on this shtt alone and
righly so. Some will not listen, will not read, they think they know
everything about everything and the simple truth is, they don`t!

Do you talk like you write?

Nobody could possibly no as much as you thats evident. :wink:

Btw I noticed on your other post that you tend to ramble and then go completely off topic. Nice work.

nah, thats just some of you dumb azz HIs not being able to comprehend what the fkim saying

youll get yer azz sued if it hasnt been already, you know
everything, thats whats odd, you come over on this thread and
read my shtt.

see, some of you(not all dammitt) couldn`t hack it when you had
a construction job/company or as a builder etc.

like this CITY Inspector…
http://www.wreg.com/Global/story.asp?s=6594299

“Because he signed an arbitration clause, Stacey cannot sue Chambliss
Builders.But he does plan to sue the city of Horn lake because it
does not require its code inspectors to be licensed or certified.
In fact, the city`s current CHIEF INSPECTOR IS A FORMER
HOMEBUILDER WHOSE BUSINESS LICENSE WAS REVOKED FOR
…SHODDY CONSTRUCTION”

AS ive said repeatedly, have tried for many years being NICE, it doesnt work…ok mfr. Ha!!! Some azz ho HIs,Realtors,builders, and media mfrs always stating how much they care about thisn that…
how much they care about every homeowner, how much they continiue
to learn…
BLLLCHTTTT, its a bunch of ****!

Thanks Mr. Bubba.

I know some contractors are morons, I have had the privilege on behalf of my clients to document and act as witness in court as to their plights at the hands of contractors.

Yes, quite a few contractors,builders are morons,work sukks
sue em.

On the other hand Ray, I have been to court as expert witness
on behalf of homeowners whove been fkkkd over by contractors
AND by Home Inspectors, and every one i`ve done for FREE.

And ya know Ray, every judge except 1 allowed me to, as you call it…
ramble on, they wanted to hear everything i had to say and they sure
enjoyed the pictures of cracks/other openings which were the reasons
why the basements leaked

same for arbitration hearings, which imo are bllchttt

Thats nice. I charge for my services. Have taken on home inspectors for clients who were taken advantage of too. Charged for that too. Clients more than happy in all cases.

Good for you Ray, may as well make some cash for your time.

Caledon, what you guys have there, 500 homes `n around 1,500 people?

John that link you gave out has the guy suggesting that moving the gutters can help in some cases.
I had one this weekend where the gutter was just sitting two feet from a foundation wall on top of a vaulted sidewalk.
There were streaks starting at the top of the sill plate running down the wall from intrusion.
Was I wrong to suggest this may be part of the problem in this case?
It was right at that location.

–Gonna be a loooong one so don`t get nervous:mrgreen:

yes, there are many links that get into extending downspouts
i may agree with part of or most of certain articles,not all.
no harm to agree on most things and not everything.

as for this inspection you did,best to see situation myself,right?
if your saying the downspout had no extension and was dangling
2’ or so above ground then, yeah, water coming outta there could
soak/saturate bricks or whatever is right below gutter.

if yer saying the gutter/downspout had a 2’ extension on it then
adding more will not solve/repair the problem, problem often being
direct opening(s) such as a crack in wall, loose parging etc

adding another 5-100’ won`t seal the opening(s) that allow water in.
thats whats needs to be fixed.

you may divert more water further away but to recommend to
homeowners that adding extensions solves most leaky basements is bs.

have seen thousands of folks whove added extensions, raised n sloped
grade,mudjacked slabs etc etc etc, and didn`t solve their problem.

instead of fkk`g around with trying to divert SURFACE water they should
have located the entryway(s) which allowed water to enter in the
first place.

Too many have tried all this shtt including 1-3’ french drains, have seen
builders dig down 2-3’ and pour concrete up against the wall, all along
side of house and then add soil and slope it away, all still leaked.

Not saying a there wont be a few lucky ones who`ll do this shtt
and not get much-any water on floor for awhile,even years.

I`m saying they should be searching for the opening(s) that actually
allow water/moisture/insects etc in.

How do you know if there isnt some deterioration on outside of bsmt wall or a crack on outside of hollow block wall or loose parging. You see any of those pics posted? You see what is ALWAYS on
the outside? See what can happen?

How is it that every job weve done over 30 years there has always been a crack and/or loose parging and/or gaps where service lines enter and/or openings in mortar joints and around basements windows and once were done w/waterproofing whatever section of wall, HO has
no more problems,no leaks. How does any HI/whoever account for that?

No customer complaints, no leaks THROUGH any part of wall we`ve done
Some will need to follow through and get tuckpointing or basement
window repairs as well.

30 years.

Not just my azz, Capizzo Construction,Stremersch,Downriver Waterproofing
John McEwen up in Canada with E O F and a handful of others ALL
do exterior waterproofing and SEE the same shtt, all w/no problems
As i posted earlier, go ahead and talk w/someone else wholl tell yas
99% same shtt i`m saying, try call John http://www.e-o-f.com/contact.html
i asked him if he could, to post here, tell ya what he has seen

Versus Everdry,Insta Dry,Basement rx etc etc etc who have 10-25++
customer complaints just within the last 36 months, somethings
fkk`d up here!

one more thing, sure HOs need GUTTERS...need em MORE to keep water OFF the house, off the bricks,off siding,windows, not saying they dont need gutters,never said that.

When we went to Pennsylvania last year to help a HO we saw MANY
homes with NO gutters, said holy shtt whats up people?
Water coming off roofs and soaking the shtt outta bricks etc
Stains,moss,deterioration all over the place

If yer Talkin` downspout extensions, thats THE bs story sir!
Find-locate where/how water is first entering
