All for the low price of $4,999. DIY version under $500....put dirt around your house sloped......clean your gutters and make sure downspouts are not clogged and draining properly,. Fill all cracks in concrete surrounding the home with waterproof silicone or hydroluc cement. If you are still getting any water after that you can also put a french drain outside.

What a lot of money for water still coming in through external cracks in the foundation. Should have dug a hole outside!

@leahr.2620 4 ай бұрын

Big mistake, the concrete floor ties the foundation and the footer together to keep foundation from bowing.

French drains are a scam. A lot of basement damp can be resolved with regrading the land around your property and maintaining your rain gutters.

So you can cover the french drain with concrete? I have french drains in my basement but they did not finish it with concrete, the channel is visible.

Catching the water after it gets through the wall...... hmmmm. gutters, a membrane and stone all been done already on the outside? Few sketchy things going on in this video. 1, cutting the entire foundation wall off of the slab all at the same time. Thought that was really bad to do. 2 that type of tube sealed in cement seems like it would have a short lifespan and be costly to repair. 3 did they pour the cement right onto the tube? So hows it gunna let water in after the cement clogs all the holes? Lastly dosent the ribs on the pipe mean you will constantly have standing water in every single one? I would think that would rot that cheap pipe out faster and smell musty shortly after installation

To make it look more presentable ; prior to Jack hammering the old concrete make a cut so it looks like a control joint after finishing

Never cut it. The rough edge helps the new crete bund with the old crete. Cutting makes it crack over time

If there isn’t basically same system on the other side of the wall then this is totally wrong and backwards as hell. Object of this game is to keep water from A. Not coming into ur basement to prevent damage. When coming into basement then rerouting it elsewhere it’s already penetrated the foundation walls causing damage. Yeah maybe u have relived some of the Hydrostatic pressure off the basement walls yet the most powerful thing in nature is still eating away at ur investment and it is eating the no.1 most critical part of any house/building’s structure. If u don’t have a good foundation then u have nothing and pretty much it’s all just lipsticking a pig from there on out.

Water is an acid and erodes. It should never be allowed inside but if you cannot help it, you can use a temporary solution indoors until you can invest in the real culprits outdoors. But indeed this is temporary

@In_time Жыл бұрын

Water erodes. It is not an acid. (It’s technically neutral 🤫)

@moonwolf3378 Жыл бұрын

Water is amphoteric…water has H atoms that can be donated as H+ ions and thus act as an acid, and it also has lone pair electrons that can accept an H+ and act as a base…so you are indeed correct, it is neutral at the ph level but it has properties that can make it act like an acid…there’s an old saying So much is the water dripping on the rock that it eventually makes a hole…Also, I grow plants, Mary Jane and during the last two weeks of watering the plants, you water with pure water that has no feed or anything at all. After those final two weeks, you cut the plant and put it to dry in a slow controlled manner so that it can cure…during those weeks the water slowly evaporates sweeping away all of the byproducts left behind by anaerobic bacteria eating the chlorophyll. It is precisely the acid traits of water that come into play here to help drag away debris as it dries. So water is a very flexible liquid that can most definitely act and become an acid when it comes through your stone in your home eroding it quicker than normal.

@@moonwolf3378 so I think saying it’s acidic is misleading. MAYBE one could say it’s corrosive (although erosive would be the better term)…. I caught my nephew barking the other day, but that doesn’t make him a dog…

@@GreenBuildingNetwork I did not intend to mislead you or even lead you at all… but the acid like quality is precisely what erodes and in the context of water invading your basement, passing through stone over and again, it is indeed an acid you do not want…water’s fluidity and nature can make it be basic and acid…water in your basement, as it evaporates, will erode with it’s acidic properties…so when a grow master told me Water is an Acid, I didn’t sit there and get all corny about the semantics, I researched it and found that indeed it is, at times, an acid…I understood the point that water can be helpful as well as harmful. And when it’s harmful, it’s an acid. It lead me in the right direction. I now wear gloves when I wash my car or dishes and use lemon in my water to aid in neutralizing it for my body, and do not wash my hair every single day…I could go on but hopefully you get the point.

@@anxiousbear6840 I see what you are saying. But should someone replace wet insulation without first sealing a compromised roof? The only way is the right way. If said customer has to spend the 15k later on anyway which they will, than why waste 6k. The problem is a buildup of hydrostatic water pressure on the exterior foundation wall in most cases. So the foundation is still being degraded. This is usually due to where the house is positioned because the soil surrounding the house is not as dense as the soil further out. Way to many cases for people having to re-due this kind of work. We did ours ourselves. We excavated dirt surrounding foundation, tarred the walls and installed delta MS, drain tile and a sump system on our 50's house. It had cost a total of 6k CAD, without our labor of course. Not a single drop of water in our basement since work done. Been 2.5 years. I think all this could be done for 15k by a crew of 2. I think this is the way to go.
