[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First we had Landscapers come to help address water issues with grading and fortifying existing window wells.  This was the least expensive option and helped with probably 40% of the water issues.  Then we had our gutters replaced, which took care of another 40% of the issues.  This was also fairly low cost. And finally, we had our roof replaced- obviously, the most expensive.  Since then- we have had no water issues.

Point being- you will probably need to address the issue in several different ways.  [/quote]
BS you still have a leak its just not as pronounced, people like you [b]need to be fined for not following code and waterproofing the basement walls [/b]and installing weaping system and sump

HATE YOU, you pawn the problem off to someone else and pocket the profits[/quote]

LOL, you just don't understand how foundations work, do you? They all leak under the right circumstances.

This code you speak of is a figment of your imagination. They did the right thing. [/quote]
This crazy guy pops up often when water management issues are discussed.  He is always touting his imaginary building code on how to fix a water intrusion issue.  No such code exists that says how it MUST be done when working on an existing building.  He also likes to claim that in internal drain is not the way to go and you must dig all the way down to the foundation, tar the wall and put another drain down on the mud.  Meanwhile, internal drains are about the only type drain contractors are putting in these days.  The guy is totally off his rocker, or he's a contractor trying to defend an old, ineefective method that on one uses anymore.[/quote]
