How was this problem fixed?

[@phidip2328]

A cliffhanger for the ages.

[@kennethdavis1209]

Well damn was expecting to show how to fix, thanks

[@JFranco202]

This is good stuff man! You got a subscriber.

[@TwinHomeExperts]

Thanks you so much! We appreciate having people like you on our channel.

[@samsamthecat492]

We live in Florida and dont have a basement and when it rains it seems water is coming into our bathroom underneath thr tiles. The bathroom is right on the corner of the exterior of the front of the house.

[@Elyh-qp9rs]

you guys are awesome

[@florenceyip5120]

Great advice!! It’s not easy finding the leak sometimes. Will pouring concrete over the flowerbed stop the water from leaking into the basement?

[@TwinHomeExperts]

This all depends on how bad the water proofing is compromised. Water can migrate under ground 20 feet away. It’s always best practice to really pin point where the source of leak.

[@ngmmiddx588]

we also have same problem in our shop in London. do yo any companies who do good job to block the leaks

[@derekmacieski3992]

That’s how my leak was too, it was traveling beneath a patio same way would have never thought to look.

[@dreamingcode]

Come ooooon! How did you fix it??

[@mubarksaad1137]

Thanks job weldone

[@fellaflips]

great you found it..now how did you fix it?

[@TwinHomeExperts]

We excavated down and waterproofed concrete surfaces.

[@dreamingcode]

​@Twin Home Experts wow, would have been nice to see

[@ktrose7]

some good advice

[@agentcarbunkle]

Im not suprised its leaking, doesnt look like the walls have any sort of membrane or perimeter drainage, plus wood is stud work is such a bad idea in basements it rots over time, use metal stud partition

[@ayulookin5297]

Some good advice, don't wear headphones or else you will be going to the hospital after this video

[@Mr.Eeeeeeeee]

Who do you call to diagnose these problems?

[@darrylnelson05]

Not surprised it was the flower bed. It changed the way the water was supposed to drain to the street.

[@dcole302]

Where is the video showing the fix??

[@msulli8512]

How about how to fix it

[@soulstice99]

Good video. Leak can be far from actual water buildup

[@bwagenberg]

Where's the link to your video on how to fix the found leak?

[@TwinHomeExperts]

Will have to get that done. Thanks

[@Voltomess]

@@TwinHomeExperts yeah and you never did that video instead you chasing rats nothing else..............

[@unconfined659]

Does this count as flood damage when making a claim

[@Voltomess]

good luck with that, this is what I googled "This is a tough case for a homeowner to be in, because this situation is generally not covered. After a period of heavy rain, the ground can become saturated with water, and that water can seep through the ground into your basement. Homeowners insurance companies do not consider this a coverable calamity. Flood insurance also won't cover it unless the seepage is directly related to a flood in the area. The best defense against this disaster is to make sure the foundation of your home is solid and up to date on all inspections."

[@moecapitolnetwork2916]

You can do a smoke test, to find the evaporation leak 😉

[@TwinHomeExperts]

This always depends on the substrates were dealing with. GREAT QUESTION!

[@alavelle2015]

What company can I call to do this locally

[@TwinHomeExperts]

I would look up structure leak detection companies near me or contact a local leak detection company that may have a resource. What town are you in?

[@microtechmachineshop]

my basement has been leaking since December, ruined all my new floor and my window well was all re done professionally within the last month still noticing water on my floor and damage on my drywall by the floor thats under my window

[@Voltomess]

this is so bad this you fixed it after 2 years now?

[@donaldlee6760]

So if water is traveling from the planter bed at street level, under the driveway, and finally into the basement, then would stopping the problem at the source, which I typically believe to be the best solution, still be the preferred solution? Maybe raise the level of the dirt to slightly higher than the sidewalk, compact added dirt like mad, and finally sloping towards the street so all rainwater flows to the sidewalk. Alternately pull out the flowerbed and replace with either concrete or a nice paver area also sloped toward the street. If you instead fix the problem at the other end by using a sump pump, than how can you be certain more water is traveling to other parts of the house that you don't see yet.

[@TwinHomeExperts]

absolutely! This is why it's important to first pinpoint the source. We are seeing too many assumptions being made and thousands of dollars being spent to waterproof what people think is the cause, then the rain comes and floods out the basement,

[@chris7662]

I'm not convinced.

[@TwinHomeExperts]

plenty of other vids out there. Good luck

[@JohnDoe-gc1kt]
