something else to chew on

[john bubber]

Roy is smarter than the average bear

[john bubber]

Buncha glue-sniffing farts, yeah, Everdry and several others

Over `n over, homeowners gettin` estimates for shtt they don`t need and, last couple estimates i`ve run Everdry had already given estimate.

Homeowners in Detroit and Eastpointe were told they needed entire Inside perimeter done, costs from Everdry for their Inside Multi-step was over $17,000. They also told homeowners and wrote down that an exterior method would cost over $20,000 and other over $26,000. lololol

Somebody is on several drugs or most likely, is simply trying to stick the old carrot deep

These are some of the same folks who try `n explain to you that an exterior method is very expensive, very disruptive, doesn`t work, was already done when home was built and a bunch of other crap. Can`t believe so many homeowners bend over for this misleading,untrue sales bs. Wake up will ya please Homeowners hiring many Inside companies who have 10, 20, 40++ Better Business Bureau customer complaints over the Last 36 MONTHS, versus many Exterior contractors who have 0 BBB customer complaints over 25,30 Years, total-ever.

These 2 homeowners have CRACKS....yes, cracks on the Outside of hollow-block basement walls, 2 walls. They have mold `n efflorescence on the inside of these 2 walls.....water coming out onto the floor at the cold joint, cove, due to....WATER that enters into the hollow block through the Cracks! lol

How could anyone deduce that any kind of work inside the basement, any Inside system, can possibly stop/prevent water from entering on the Outside? Where`s the common sense? A Drain tile or baseboard system w/sump and, Running a dehumidifier is NOT going to stop water from entering the dang basement. It`s Not going to stop prevent mold etc, gotta stop the water from entering to accomplish this fer pete sakes.

And one lady has a dang tree 2' away from the basement wall, geez, ya think this could possibly have anything to do with cracks in the wall `n bowing in? How ya figure do an inside system and leaving the roots and clay on the outside of the basement is going to help?

Then there are those pushing/bs`g helical piers on homeowners, telling many homeowners who have walls that are cracked/bowing in that it is due to problems under the floor that can only be helped by installing these piers, more Nonsense! Fact is, just about always bowing walls are due to outside lateral `n hydrostatic pressure and/or roots from trees.

scroll down to 'Hydrostatic Pressure' and observe retaining wall

Now, how ya figure helical piers will help, huh? Got Milk?

R Dean Taylor....red lights are flashing around me, yeah, love, it looks like they found me, Indiana wants me, Lord i can`t go back there

[john bubber]

Over `n over `n over `n over.....just did job for Lady in Detroit where Everdry `n others recommended and told her she needed an Inside system to solve her leaky basement and moldy basement walls. Don`t forget, they wanted over $17,000, thats right for their Inside Mutli step method.

Problems were, cracks on Outside of hollow-block wall in every area where she got water inside... on floor along cove/cold joint AND, openings in brick ledge just below grade AND, caulking & tuckpointing needs Above ground.

The back wall had water trapped/locked inside cells of hollow blocks due to, yup ....cracks `n other outside openings. Water gushed out of EACH block like turning on a spigot. Care to CALL her yourself? Thats right,don`t believe me then ask her.

Now, just how could ANY Inside drain tile or baseboard method w/sump and dehumidifier SOLVE these Outside problems? lololol, NO way Jose.

And so, these so-called experts yet again recommended an Inside system which could NOT have stopped/prevented further water from entering the dang wall. Oh, i don`t want to forget this one either ....raising & sloping the dumb grade away and extending downspouts etc did NOT and cannot keep water from entering these cracks `n Other outside openings.

Hmmm, over $17,000 for Inside system which does not stop water from entering versus, $3,625 to STOP it. yeah...buncha crooks out there and its NOT most of the Outside contractors. QUIT w/ the shtt we too often hear incl`g "Oh, an Exterior method is very Expensive"....etc. And Glen H, $200-300 per foot?????? I though you had all the....clear `n concise information? BSHT!

One more thing dammmitttt , IF she wanted....to do the ENTIRE outside would have been $8,500 ish. Yeah, 1/2 of what the media inside darlings want. Other areas do not leak as of this time soooooooo, fix whats broke! Problem area-crack occurs in future then, fix THAT area! Grrr Got Milk?

Kevin`s Dec 28 post about BBB waterproofing-alert article, hope you are well Kevin.

notice supposed-alert is.... no more

This 'alert' was posted on BBB website, supposedly was there to help/guide homeowners on what is best waterproofing method, inside or outside. Had several one-sided statements in it inlc`g.... "Exterior is very expensive"..etc.

Now, IF THAT article was all facts, was all about the TRUTH then, what happened to the article, huh? Got milk?

D Matthews....waste the hours with talking, talking, these TWISTED games we`re playing.....the space between, our wicked lies is where we hope to keep safe from pain

[john bubber]

time to be held accountable-liable

Some HI`s, realtors like to recommend leaky basement fixes-remedies, yeah you know, raise the grade-longer downspout extensions etc. These concrete leveling/mudjacking companies too.

oK, FINE, THATS JUST FINE but....since you think you have the correct fixes, 90% of the time as many of YOU say, and tell homeowners this crap then WHY don`t YOU start putting it in writing?

Nah, ya wouldnt do that would ya? lolol

For instance, mudjacking Co`s who tell homeowners that if they raise a slab(s) it`ll stop/solve leaky basement problem should back it up, dammmittt.

When did they become a foundation/waterproofing expert?

Quit talking and start backing up what you say/recommend.

If not, then maybe you should recommend an expert take a peek at problem instead of this bs/crap/MYTHS!

Who PAYS for these supposed correct fixes when they dont work, huh? Tired of this crap have a nice day

[john bubber]

http://www.boston.com/news/local/new...ine_for_lying/

is one that was posted earlier who had 20+ BBB complaints inlast 36 months

some say, "well, the complaints are just part of being in business" and so on. i say...bllchtt You either know what the ___ your doing AND care or, you don`t. No middle ground in basement waterproofing.

see, some have been in this business for 25-30+ years and have never had 1 dang customer complaint. so, some will continue to recommend crap like this, inside drain tile-baseboard systems w/sumps and. i`ll continue to disprove their bogus claims/misleading advertising and so on. Why? Cuz i give a shtt about homeowners who work and scrounge to save and finally have enough to get something fixed and run into bs idiots like this company.

Paul McCartney....someone`s knocking at the door, somebodys ringing the bell, if its an Inside waterproofing company/salesperson like this guy, do me a favor, and don`t let him in

and then some so-called experts will explain to you that painting basement walls with Drylok ...a really good coating is going to stop water from entering cracks etc huh, guarantee to be WATERPROOFED "up to 22 feet of water" HAHA!

another nimrod knocking on peoples doors, $37,000 later poor lady still has repairs.

when they mention part about 'waterproofing' in basement, it certainly appears this fool tried to patch a vertical crack in block wall on inside w/cement. Un-be-lievable, same old crap

you CANNOT stop `n prevent water from entering block basement walls from the inside of basement by painting & patching the walls, or by installing inside drain tile `n baseboard systems w/sumps,not gonna happen.

Cracks in hollow block basement walls are........on the outside Yes they are!

It is where water enters and why mold can grow on walls.
It is where radon gas can enter and no floor pipe is going to stop radon that enters through basement wall cracks.
It is where termites `n other insects can enter.
It is where roots can get into the wall and expand/widen a crack

Yet, most seem to still want to recommend to homeowners to raise the grade, get longer downspout extensions, mudjack a slab,paint the inside of walls and NONE of these fixes the dang Problem! Most basements leak due to cracks `n other direct openings that are....on the Outside of the house

i have 6 locks on my door, all in a row. When i go out i lock every-other one.I figure, no matter how long somebody stands there picking the locks, they are always locking 3 of them.

Next time someone on the street comes up to you `n asks 'what time is it'...tell `em, "Well, its either 6:15 or Mickey has a stiffy"

would a fly without wings be called a walk?

you ask some guy 'how are ya?' he says... 'fine and dandy'. Me, i never say that, know why? Cuz i`m never both of those things at the same time.Sometimes i`m fine but not dandy. Other times i might indeed be dandy however, not fine! One time in August of 1978,for about an hour, i was both fine and dandy at the same time but nobody asked me how i was.

[john bubber]

"Often...the biggest load on the foundation is Not the weight of the house, but the pressure of the SOIL around the foundation. Called the lateral load, it is the amount of pressure exerted on basement walls and can vary widely. Depends on many factors...."

"Coarse grained, well-drained soils like sand and gravel apply the LEAST lateral load"

--Compaction--
"The problem is that the pressure from the compacting process gets transmitted through the soil to the wall. Basement walls have been known to crack or fall over while earth is being dumped against them or compacted around them....."

"AFTER compaction, soil is under compression like a spring and CONTINUES to PUSH against the foundation....in practice, sands and gravels densify or compact more readily than silts or clays, creating LESS of this springlike force--one more good reason to use them for Backfilling"

--Careful on the Construction Site--

"When there`s a heavy load on the ground next to a foundation, some of the pressure is TRANSFERRED to the wall. During construction, bulldozers and trucks that come near a basement wall can add enough surcharge pressure to DAMAGE the wall. A new building being built next to an existing basement can also INCREASE the underground pressure and damage the existing foundation...."

a highway patrolman pulled alongside a speeding car on the freeway. Glancing at the car, he was astounded to see that the blonde behind the wheel was knitting.

"NO!" the blonde yelled back, "IT`S A SCARF!"

Hmmm, let`s see, what else do i have today

Oh yeah, a lil more about Radon. Yeah.....that gas that, apparently-according to the experts, causes lung cancer and, kills about 21,000 people each year....MORE than drunk drivers. And most of us have seen just how much this country yaks about that, hmmm, then why the crap doesn`t the media put as much or more emphasis on radon

http://www.insidebayarea.com/bayarealiving/ci_4610174

Now, how can THESE folks 'get it' and other-so-called/self-proclaimed experts NOT 'get it'? And what i mean by 'get it' is this, grrr, Radon gas can easily ENTER basements etc from the Soil-THROUGH pores/cracks/other openings that are on the OUTSIDE of hollow-block walls.

..looks like 6th para under... -Radon detectors-

"Since many unscrupulous individuals have seen the chance for quick profits in the radon field, be careful to select only a reputable contractor.In MOST cases, the REMEDY is to SEAL the houses`s foundation(where radon can ENTER)...AND...to install ventilators to allow any gas to escape...."


http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/health/radon.html

-How does radon get into my home?

"Is your house airtight? Very few are, especially older homes-and especially if the foundation or any of the WALLS are built with concrete blocks, which are particularly POROUS to radon..."
