[quote=Anonymous]We had contractor dig it out from the outside and then put down a waterproof membrane next to the basement exterior, then drain board, and drain tile and such like. Our basement likely was much worse than average at the start, but it is bone dry now. This is not low cost if done properly. Our fix was spec'd by a licensed PE. We avoided using all those "wet basement" specialist companies. Tar will work for maybe 10 years, maybe longer if the soil is not clay. Builders like tar because it is cheap and easy and will last linger than the usual 5yr builder warranty. [/quote]
