Well all those basement waterproofing companies arent doing anything?


They're raking a lot of money.


amazing since I have met many who were very happy to finally have a
dry basement


...and many who are not so happy, after spending *thousands*.


Gee ALL new homes here are REQUIRED to have french drain which must
add thousands to new home price. so do tell is that all a waste?


Idiot! *We aren't talking about *new* homes. You truly are retarded.- Hide quoted text -

no what i am asking is if retrofitting a french drain is a waste that
you would sell your home over, then you would go buy a new home with a
french drain? and water problems may not show up for years, well past
the builders warranty......

so its likely you might trade a otherwise fine home that needed say 5
grand in basment waterproofing for a far costlier new home and pay
all that real estate commision just to find you bought a new home with
water problems??

how dumb is that?

now perhaps your issue is having finished rooms in a converted
basement?

I am not wild about that, generally too little windows, but lots ofb
owners do it, and are very happy weith the outcome.

Hey I get it now you must be a realtor thats hurting for sales BE
GONE!!
