yeah sure, fine home building, uh huh.
For future referance, there is no such thing as interior water proofing. It is interior water diversion
Great point.
It amazes me why people say builders make the best home inspectors.
If the builders did their jobs right, we wouldn’t need as many Home Inspectors. 
There are three (cost-effective) ways to fix this problem, from the cheapest to the most expensive:
- Proper water management from the outside
- Proper Water diversion from the inside
- External waterproofing
Other ways to fix it is to lift the home and re-pour the foundations (a little bit OTT) or
(the one most typically used by homeowners)… Move and hope a Home Inspector isn’t used for the purchase.
You’re saying these are fixes? Or are they both diversions?
