if you have a reputable water proofing company do the job, wait 6
months or a year to make certain all is well and remodel.....


...and if it was the first time in ten years the basement flooded?


well lets assume you have a water problem after that. thats what
homeowners insurance is for make certain it covers water inflatration..


Does yours? *Homeowners insurance doesn't cover "rising water". *Flood
insurance is required. *More reasons to move.


if you then get water damage make a claim with your homeowners
insurance and they will take care of it and duke it out with the
waterproofing company.


You're clueless.


theres very little for the homeowner to do to with basement
waterproofing, hire a good company and sign the check when they are
done, many will move the stuff in your basement for free to get the
job.......


You missed the part about waiting for the next flood.


they should be expersts and know what to do if something wierd comes
up.


Sure they do; take more money.


well a brand new home is a complete unknown, 5 years after buying it
could devlop a wet basemnent problem.


You do know that the new home has proper footing drainage, something you don't
know with your inside hack job. *You also know that the new home has an
unbroken slab, with proper sub-slab drainage.

insurance will add coverage for near anything, for a few bucks extra.


Bull****.

obviously your posting in the bwrong group this s home repair not buy
a new home when anything breaks.


You're absolutely clueless. *...but I'm not breaking the news to anyone here.

PLONK!

with a new home even with a properly installed drain system something
can get blocked, like a drain line filling with silt, i dug it up and
saw that first hand

water flow in area may change. this happened to a buddy who suddenly
had a wet lawn and water in basement, where none had existed before. 3
years later the water line leak 1/2 mile away must of got worse,
anyhow after that was fixed his yard and basement got dry
again........

nothing in life is for sure except in your world you must be rich to
replace anything that breaks
