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

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.

Looking forward to working with this company to waterproof my basement

I have experience in my home with proper materials being used, but incorrectly as well.

Very informative

thank you, great great information

Thabk you for this video

Why can't we seal the cold joint?

How much concrete ends up on top of the flow channel? I feel like I must be missing something.

it will be a lot of money to have this kind of work..ill just sell my house

Imagine being the previous contractor hired to do the job and get called out like this...

Wish I wwould ahve watchecd this earlier

Interesting. Fortunately, our back yard is quite large so we can discharge away from our neighbours.

Interesting and informative. Fortunately, our leak is smaller, but I and still going to get a quote from this company.

That’s cool 😎

Very informative....

That's a lot of standing water. Wonder what they would recommend for a dirt floor basement?

This is perfect, just what we need! Other company did not explain! Will be calling soon!

Do you do work in tennessee?

I’m looking to do the same for my basement. How do I know how thick my footing is I don’t want to accidentally cut into it.

This is a great video. Thank you! About to purchase a 1925 home. I am trying to cure my ignorance to stone foundations. This really filled in some blanks.

Dang only if you was in Dallas Texas

Is the one getting ripped out waterguard?

How deep did you guys go with that concrete and drain you guys put under the basement?

We don’t have basements around here. Cellars (4’ deep) yes and some concrete storm shelters. Why don’t people seal the outside? Wouldn’t it make sense to use a waterproof outside so there would be no penetration of water?

Ack so I just painted drylok on my basement! I for sure can not get into a full repair, I just want the space to look better. Anyone have any tips?

drylock should be illegal

Look at all that efflorescence along the top of the wall 😱

what's the proper way in this situation?

So what's the best method for cold seals? I'm confused 😳

What is the name of this liquid membrane that you are using to water proof the wall?

Wow, incredible job.

This video was awesome. Showed me everything wrong with the system they took out while showing me nothing of how they "fix" the problem.

Maybe watch it again in case you don't have a roof?? what a complete dork!!!!

Would of been a great time for a plumber to replace all that cast iron in the floor

Any outside system videos?

I've watched several of your videos - they're great, a real measure above the other videos on the same topic. I am out of your service area so I'm trying to piece together how maybe I can do this. I presume that's *perforated* corrugated pipe, yes? Do you tend to use 3" or 4" diameter? Do you cap the ends of the pipe? I think I heard you say the slope is 1" every 10'. Did I get that right? Thank you!!

I have been a Realtor for 37 years and in St Louis, we have thousands and thousands of homes with stone/rubble foundation. This has been very informative and I'm glad he wasn't just suggesting parging over the stone wall, or just tuckpointing. It does require digging up either on the inside or the outside to stop it.

Very interesting 😊

Solution

Do you ever perform work on the exterior foundation/footing?

Best wishes

I think this system just on the old houses I didn't see that in all the basements that i remolding them
