5th para...'While i understand why some may feel that a drainage system should be done on the outside only, i must respectfully disagree.An exterior system has a major downfall-it will eventually fail and when it does, it will not be able to be maintained,it must be re dug up and replaced' LOLOLOL

Nothing like omitting,obscuring material facts for self-gain.False claims,misrepresentation on quite a few inside co`s websites,advertisements,blogs etc.

So what ya saying inside frenchie man? Ya saying not to repair-waterproof cracks,loose parging,bow walls? Just leave the shtt open, let things get worse and call you to install inside system?

O mighty Inside guru, please describe in detail how YOUR inside system repais/waterproofs these types of exterior cracks. How your inside system stops/prevents further water from entering these cracks, how your system remove roots off walls-out of cracks,how an inside system will prevent mold,efflorescence,terimtes and other insects from entering basement/house,how an inside system will remove/help lessen expanding-contracting lateral-soil-pressure,further DETERIORATION of wall. Just leave these cracks OPEN? http://photosmart.hpphoto.com/FilmSt...711e507&SKU=HP

Scroll down to... 'Standing Water Under Basement Floor' VIDEO, on right.

all due respect Mr Bob, you/others can`t base most peoples problems/situations on a few instances you`ve seen,looked at. It takes TIME,lots of time observing the inside and outside of basement walls to figure dis shtt out. You/anyone can obviously think `n say what you want,what you believe but it doesn`t make ya`s right, nope sorry.

your diagram, your explanation/thoughts on 'house construction' is how you see it. Ya say foundation drains 'almost always' get crushed or blocked up and then water runs under the wall, lol.

Bob, dunno how many exterior waterproofing jobs you`ve done(i`ll guess less than 5) but what we`ve seen over 3 decades is about 90-95% of ALL exterior tiles were fine. You say ALMOST ALWAYS, we say most often NOT. Hmmm, 30 years of digging holes to footings and seeing da daumb azz drain tiles versus....?

Most of us have some amount of water/moisture under the basement floor sir, yes we do, obviously more after it rains,spring thaws...thats life under da floor Bob. Thats why its important to pour floor 4" thick, have gravel and vapor barrier under there and when house is built in valley or on shtt land,or on a spring they`ll most likely need a sump pump(s) to help control amount of water under floor but, this will not keep all water from getting under dang floor.All this.....has NOTHING to do with water that can enter through cracks and other exterior openings,like block walls. 2 different things sir.

When some install sump pumps w/PIT, they don`t have openings just-under-floor-level for water to get IN! Having 1 or 2 tiles down low is one thing but water that is right-under-the-floor must be able to get INTO the SIDES of the PIT...up high! Not just 1-2' deep. Thats why some HO`s get water coming UP through floor crack(s),other floor openings or through THIN floors, some have 1-2" floor for krist sake.

Then at 2:15 mark, Bob says water evaporates up through CRACKS in the WALL? Hello? What about water that goes through the soil alongside the house and enters through cracks,loose parging etc Bob? Come on. Why don`t you talk about this? This is rare, barely happens in your opinion huh? Gimmie a break. Do what ya like sir, your not going to keep all water/moisture out from underneath the floor.


In this VIDEO, Mr Bob sheds some wisdom! 'Encapsulation 2' ...bottom left.
Apparently HO spent about $3,000 for company to place visqueen all over crawlspace. Mr Bob is thinking some here! He GETS the fact mold,mildew,efflorescence etc can/could/will grow INSIDE a crawl!

He says...'When you encapsulate a crawlspace you have to take care of the water that`s coming IN there'. Very good Bob!!! You win a cookie. Shtt, i`ll give you a brand spankin`new digging shovel!

He seems to GET that if you don`t stop water from entering in the first place, you could very well have problems BEHIND the dang visqueen on interior walls. Visqueen etc on inside walls doesn`t stop/prevent water,moisture from entering THROUGH exterior cracks etc on outside.And most crawls aren`t damproofed and certainly aren`t waterproofed. Shtt, have porous-exposed blocks on the exterior! Knock knock

Many crawls way-worse than this, have much more mold,efflorescence water.....termites/insects and some have mice/rats etc, whats a great 'space'.


Video...'Basement Leak' top right.
He thinks its the downspout/extenion.
What the REAL problem is, something like this http://photosmart.hpphoto.com/FilmSt...711e507&SKU=HP

Bob, put a 2 mile long downspout extension on. Wait for a longer rain, camp out in basement and see if you were right. Not just one rain either, lets see what happens after month or two on rains,thaws.Can SEE part of crack at top on outside,sheesh! Then on inside looks like there is also a step-crack. Bob says if your basement is finished that will be hidden behind the wall and you`ll see your baseboard start to rot out etc. Inside Co`s/systems often place a sheeting up against wall/part of wall, they sure as shtt do.

-Video....Basement DEHUMIDIFIER....Whats the Point? ...near bottom on left
Dunno Bob, please TELL the Inside Co`s!!

Ok Bob, keep the videos coming.

Pic`s of a few jobs.
http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

HO only leaks in one area at wall-floor joint, has a lil mold and quite a bit
of efflorescence on parts of block wall inside.

Pic 2 Inside Co`s would tell you there is no room to excavate.

Pic 3 Looks like there`s room to me

Pic 4 Lots or bricks backfilled, about 80-90 bricks.

Pic 6 Gets a lil foggy down there. Wide open joint between top of
wall and bricks. Some deteriorated bricks that have been below
grade w/wet soil up against them.
8,10 Hairline vertical crack in parging. 7' 3" deep. Cost $925 incl`s/dumbchtt permit

13 Next job...
hairline crack,poured wall. 6 open rod holes, nice job
Mr builder/subcontractor. 7' deep Cost $925 TY for $75 tip Mr.P.

http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

1,2 Again, some will tell HO`s there is no room for excavation,among other lies. HO only gets water at wall-floor joint in areas where we waterproofed outside.

3-6 Roots against basement wall. Block wall is bowed in a little.

8,9 Corner crack, is NOT visible inside basement.

11 Hairline vertical crack. HO does have mold on parts of inside wall and
some efflorescence. Thats because water is entering through cracks
into hollow blocks. 22' 6' deep Cost $1,900

13 Done. Where is all the ruined landscaping? Is fence or deck ruined?
Moronic,incompetent,story-telling Inside looooosers.

New HO`s 'advised' to scrub area w/bleach ...dumbazz recommendation.
http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/17835669.html

Looks like an inside system was installed, holes drilled in blocks etc.

Also looks like visqueen against wall behind paneling.

Say again, inside systems do not stop water/moisture from entering, MANY more have mold and other chtt growing on bsmt wall(s) behind paneling/drywall or the blcccht sheeting some inside co`s place against walls.

INCOMPETENT,negligent mfrs.

Advised to scrub with bleach huh? Just like other incompetent recommendations such as raise `n slope grade/longer downspouts/mudjacking slabs etc will solve 80%+ leaky basements, nonsense.

Mold, follow up story on leaky basement
http://www.wowt.com/news/headlines/17864209.html

Supposed expert says...'do everything you can to keep water away....water collecting behind downspout....grading'.

'Doing everything you can' should mean finding-locating how water is getting in. You need to find `n eliminate the CAUSE. So, ya may have to run a dang water test on outside of hollow block wall(s) to find out if water is entering through exterior crack(s).

Grading,longer downspouts doesn`t repair cracks on exterior, won`t stop `n prevent further water/moisture from entering.

They say seller paid for mold clean up.....well duh, ya still need to find the water/moisture source. It may be one thing like a crack(s) on exterior or may be a combination of things. If they think grading solves the penetration of water-moisture through exterior cracks in hollow block walls, they`re mistaken. This HO tried raising the dumb azz grade etc, it didn`t repair exterior cracks and other openings http://photosmart.hpphoto.com/FilmSt...711e507&SKU=HP

About 25 seconds into video, the guy is looking at block wall with a flashlight....says he specilaizes in mold removal and prevention. Well, if yer all that then you outta know how water enters through cracks etc on exterior. Block walls can have cracks on exterior and NOT be visible inside.

Mold http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Story?id=131638&page=3
This article says....MORE importantly you need to ELIMINATE the cause.
FIRST, find the moisture, eliminate the moisture...then clean up the stupid mold.

Basement waterproofing pic`s
http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

Never Dry put in an Inside-System, block walls. Walls were just painted before sale of house. One wall is bowing in, 3 walls have cracks on EXTERIOR of walls. So... water,insects etc are still entering. Expanding-contracting soil and roots STILL against exterior walls. LOOK at mold-mildew,efflorescence,paint peeling.

Did the inside system stop water from entering? Did it relieve any soil pressure and roots? No, never has,never will.

http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

First 11 pic`s our job
Poured wall, HO gets water in at-along WALL-FLOOR joint because there is a vertical crack, period. This why,where water first-enters

Pic 6 exterior drain tiles, yet again nuttin wrong w/em. What IS wrong is....the crack. Exterior tile BS is one of the biggest blccht stories ever told. And raising-sloping the GRADE and adding 22 mile long downspout extensions doesn`t repair the problem, the crack.

Pic 9 HO needs minor tuckpointing, water can...will enter here on longer-wind blown rains outta that direction and wind up on floor near wall.

Pic 11 Where O screw-me where is all the ruined landscaping? $800 to solve problem VERSUS how much for stuuupid inside-system that doesn`t repair the dumb az crack. Some continue their incompetent bllchtt statements such as exterior waterproofing costs more than inside...blcchhht!

Rest of Pics..... block wall, ran estimate for this HO about 1 1/2 yrs ago, guess he found somebody better. Thoroughly explained to him the problems and best remedy, he didn`t listen and STILL has problems,leaks,movement. Job done late last year, looks like a 7 yr old did it.

Tar way up high, visqueen nailed/attached way up high,just hanging around lol...look at that SHTT. UN-BE----lievable!
Parts of below grade cracks still OPEN, they didn`t use hydraulic cement, backfilled with alot of same clay soil. Some cracks ABOVE grade were caulked,some still open. What a joke. Do NOT buy this house unless you have oodles of cash, its on Kingsville St. in Harper Woods

Like that garage? its 2 streets away from this trash waterproofing job

Last 2 pic`s.... ran estimate for this guy about 4 yrs ago, also had/has walls bowing in, cracks galore,tons of roots,lots of clay soil agst block walls.

Little if any hydraulic cement used, didn`t clean up worth a shtt, gravel-soil all over the place,extends out to sidestreet...this is about 4 yrs later LOLOL

Check out that stuuupid vertical plastic perf drain tile...nice huh? Won`t solve anything, but if it makes ya feel better then go right ahead. And how about that moss? Not Kate Moss...moss-moss on bricks.

Guess where they put about 5 yards of the clay soil excavated? lolol
In the alley behind the house...pathetic mfrs.


http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

House in Allen Park, poured walls. This HO had estimates from several Inside-knotheads, all told them a bunch of blcchtt,lies,false claims. Costs for Inside system ranged from $11,000-$17,000. HO problems were 2 vertical cracks on 2 different walls plus, they do need some tuckpointing, need to take bsmt window vents out and glass block em in and need some caulking around side door. Cost $1,550. They could still leak, get some water in on floor along walls until they tuckpoint/caulk etc other above grade openings.

Pics 4-6 exterior drain tiles, as usual no problem and not why water enters through cracks and other openings.

13,14 about done..where O screw me where is all the ruined landscaping? Haege and some others say exterior waterproofing costs $200-300 per foot LOLOL Where do these people get their supposed-guru-information from? It`s off.....just a tad. Masterhandyman? He`s no master in THIS business.

Last 4 pic`s....B Never Dry did an inside system, see sheeting along bottom blocks? See where floor was J hammered? See cracks?

what ya won`t see is this wall is bowing in, could have relieved alot of lateral clay soil pressure and roots if they`d have actually waterproofed the dang wall outside.

Dunno how these supposed experts continue recommending inside systems to HO`s when there are obvious cracks on exterior, water and insects entering these cracks, wall(s) bowing in.

How does any expert come to conclusion that an inside sytem is whats best for wall, best for homeowner, best for NEXT homeowner with these kinds of problems. You know why....because inside systems are the only thing they do or want to do.They don`t wanna dig, too much work and don`t make as much money...WIMPS and CHEATS! Misrepresenting the condition of basement wall(s), misrepresenting what an inside will do/not do,misrepresenting WHY CRACKS are occurring, why wall is bowing.

Look at pics 19,20...look at many of other pics of exterior cracks posted. Don`t think termites,centipedes,ants,spiders can`t enter into the hollow blocks on outside? LOLOL Once inside the blocks...they have ACCESS to yer house. You don`t think they`re all trapped inside the blocks do you? Huh?
Think again.

Tuesday April 8... what`s that salty looking stuff in corner of basement?
http://www.55krc.com/pages/onair_sullivan.html?page=3

Gary wins a cookie.
Some efflorescence on basement wall may be caused by other things or combination of things, some include wetting/drying of mortar betweens bricks, bricks theselves and/or a door-window sill.

TC strikes out on cookie w/his trench drain, stating that 'a trench drain that is installed correctly can STOP water from entering basement'.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...042502477.html

He is right about how water travels SIDEWAYS through soil, he gets a Tic Tac fer that.

If he thinks ALL rainwater goes into stupid trench drain/tile and NO rainwater soaks through under this trench drain or from surrounding soil beneath trench drain, he`s wrong. Re-think this one will ya please TC. If ya have a crack in basement wall,loose-cracked parging etc then ya better waterproof the dumb az crack http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

$850-925 to repair these. And you wanna dig around yard,get drain tile and gravel and try and divert some SURFACE water and leave crack open.

Just leave expanding-contracting soil and roots against wall, like these. Leave cracks open huh? Let them termites,centipedes etc walk right in, thats ok eh? http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

Raising and sloping the grade, adding longer downspouts so they would reach/drain into the freeway,french-trench drains and any Inside System will NOT solve/repair these problems,leaks,mold. Blllchtttttt, no way.

Pic 1,2 Tree....roots....surface roots. There will be more roots underground,subsurface.

Pic 3,4 Mold on basement walls. Yeah, test to be sure what the chtt it really is but looks and smells like mold to my old az. It`s there, on walls because water/moisture is entering THROUGH the dang walls, through the exterior cracks...cracks are open on OUTSIDE . Gotta go OUTSIDE to repair,waterproof them. NO INSIDE drain tile or baseboard system w/sump pump will repair/waterproof these exterior cracks! sheeeeeeeesh.

Pic 5,6 Cracks that appear on the inside, does NOT mean those are the only cracks,there will be more on exterior.


-Pic 7
Next house.....it`s FOR SALE (don`t but it!) 15 mile rd and Moravian area.

Pic 8,9 Corner crack....NOT VISIBLE on inside (many others too)

No mention of basement leaks,cracks etc from seller. DUH! Fraud.
They painted basement walls w/drylok, mold and efflorescence already shows on many parts of walls, been for sale about 3 months.

LOOK at corner blocks, you see any PARGING? Huh? lolol There is NO freakin` protection against water/moisture/insects. Zip,zero,nada. Where the fk was the city inspector, sniffin` glue? Or maybe somebody took him to nip-bar or they exchanged some cash,idiots!

How about this az hole contractor, dug down about 1'....maybe. Charged these senior citizen HO`s MORE MORE MORE for this total GARBAGE-job than what we just did. We waterproofed 20' 6' deep $1,775. Block walls, house in Roseville.

http://www2.snapfish.com/thumbnailsh...6/t_=122238283

Contractor told HO all they need was to seal about 1' along grade and raise and slope soil away.... BLLLCHHHT az hole! You piece of SHTT,incompetent weak, sorry scam loser! Tell ya,an increasing number need to be banished from this planet. Mr-expert-contractor is nowhere to be found,won`t return calls etc.

Pic 2,3 See this dumb shtt? LOLOLOL Loserville U.S.A. G dang nimrods.

Pic 4,5 As is most often the case...NOTHING wrong w/exterior drain tile, that is a MYTH myth MYTH myth! The reason water was entering is there was a vertical crack near porch and a horizontal crack one block up off footing that runs most of length of front wall, including under the porch. yeah, they may-might need to oust the porch in order to take porch-footing,clay etc off the outside of the wall and waterproof rest of wall/horizontal crack. Can`t do that with any inside system.


Pic 7,8,9
Next job... saw-cut about 10' of drivway, 18" wide. Total of 20' was waterproof....A/C disconnected....$1,925. Block walls, house in Detroit.

Should be able to see HO tried to keep some surface water away by applying tar along grade, sorry but this doesn`t repair cracks and other exterior entry points where water FIRST enters into the hollow blocks and comes out inside on the floor...at wall-floor joint.

Pic 10,11 Backfilling with SHTT that should have been hauled away when house was built, az hole builder/subcontractor/whoever.

Pic 4 What they should have done,should have recommended BEFORE raising/sloping drivway is sealing any-all bricks and mortar joints that will be BELOW the dumb azz drivway...now, there is water entering AND bricks and joints will DETERIORATE more rapidly. Raising and pitching the drive doesn`t seal/repair any direct-openings into house/basement...blllchhtt.
