What is the purpose of the "L" shaped drain board that's installed ? It seems by all your installation videos that the cement covers it & holds it in place but to me the cement would not be very thick that's laying on top of it.

I need them like ASAP

What’s funny is that yesterday I was moving trees and bushes around the house, it has been raining last week very heavily, however, while I was moving the bushes I realized around the house the dirt was super dry and wondered why all that rain didn’t touch the plants close to the house but today it’s raining in the basement! The wall in the basement was soaked wait! How does that make any sense?? 😢😢

That literally just happened to me right now just finished digging all the water it was raining in my basement

Great video. You explained your method so well. I learned so much. Thank you.

Sir how can I get in touch with you.

How do you evaluate potential in new crypto projects?

I'm on a learning curve here. I would have thought on this type of construction lime mortar would have been used. My understanding is it allows rain water to penetrate then acts as a moisture release when it's dry. But your use of Super Slurry would prevent this happening or would it?

What if you tar it on the OUTSIDE? Is that okay?

Just scheduled a free quote with your company and hoping to have our basement flooding issues be a thing of the past in one go. Thanks!

This was really interesting to learn about, thanks!

This video was super informative, thank you!

I had that stuff in my basement and I thought it was asbestos 😂

Those cracks are pretty big! But those patch jobs look just like Basements + would do it.

this is all irrelevant you can't change anything only a sump pump or temp water pump can. Gravel is pourous and that really is what it's about even a fish tank pump can remove and redirect water away from any house

Great video

Very good and informative

Interesting and informative. Thanks

I keep seeing "painted" basement walls in your videos. Was the paint there before you started or did you use some specialized paint and should I do the same?

I'm so glad I watched this. IDK anymore about it then what I did before watching it other than it was done wrong. So stupid.

This is the same problem with me, and I am thinking to make a water bore inside the basement, the water is neat and clean so i think its not bad. Someone please help me will it be good idea !

In case that water's flooding the basement, how big of a sump pump capacity do you need to compete with the flooding?

Trust me, he's that guy. Competent 💪🏼 Peter's Hammer says "hammer-time".

I really enjoy this guys energy and how he speaks when explaining. Competent!!!

I think Pablo Escobar made that wall.. look at all that powder 😬

Any tips on how to jackhammer under there? Was thinking of starting with saw cuts but it's so tight under the tank.

Why would someone initially dig out this basement space so large around where the cement or blocks are going to be inserted as basement walls just to backfill that whole area surrounding the basement walls, leaving the walls open to leakage and water pressure? Why not only dig where the material will be? I understand molds. But why not have the mold be styrofoam on the outside that will never be removed? You would kill two birds with one stone that way. It would be very cost effective, too. I’m honestly not telling you what to do. I truly am just curious.

Are there ANY situations where that flat material is appropriate? I can't imagine one.

What is "super slurry" you reference at the 5:32 mark? Is this a sealant?

Just curious, if pitch is important why not use a ridgid type of pipe instead of the corrugated? Wouldn't that be much more reliable?

Great video. What do you do with that wall with old tar on it? Cover it with closed cell? Waterproof the exterior?

Great video. And I don't even have a house with a basement but I watch the whole thing.

my question is why is so much water getting through a bilco door,,this seems strange my door lets no water in why does that one?

Can you recommend a long island contractor?

And then there's "THIS OLD HOUSE" who have videos showing people how to do exactly to basement walls as you've shown here.. nail studs/strapping to foundation walls, then use foam insulation, and cover with drywall . 😐 Worst thing ever..

One of the worst things to do to your basement.. a finished basement. Nailing framing to your foundation, then covering it with interior walls etc... When i wanted an extra room/space in ny basement, I built a floating room.. basically a small unattached little shed in my basement with a drop ceiling, etc.. Nothing was attached to my foundation walls in any way. And the walls of the room are 2ft from the foundation walls it is cornered into so air flows and i can check or see if there are any issues at any time.

If I need a quote can I have this guy come out instead of any other rep? He knows his stuff…

I gotta call these guys. This is good stuff.

This guy should be on This Old House

Thanks for your videos. I've watched a bunch of them to better understand this topic. I had water in my basement even through I have French drains circa 1975 around the outside foundation. The water from outside French drain connects to sump pump and then goes out again. I don't understand why no water seems to have entered my sump pump during the flood event. Trying to figure out if it is better to inspect French drains and fix them, or simply have you install the new system inside basement. What do you think?

Fascinating

i would first manage the water outside if you havnt already

What an excellent video. Direct and to the point explaining how water travels through soil and then through concrete. My only question is, why remediate a water problem inside the house, isn’t it better to capture it on the outside??

Why can the concrete used for pools handle so much water, but foundations have this efflorescence issue? Couldn’t foundations be made using concrete in such as fashion that they are inherently water tight?

Is it okay to seal my basement walls with waterproofing mortar??

Link to the drain?

GUYS. HOMEOWNERS, EVERYONE. this guy knows what he's talking about. Commercial WP and roofer PM for 15 years here. He's right. Id hire him.
