Lets see, appears you folks do most of you jobs from INSIDE...and most homeowners problems are on the Outside.
Then, most Inside Co`s aren`t happy with installing their water-diverting systems along 1 wall when the homeowner only has problem on 1 wall, NO, thats not enough work/money, many Inside Co`s will BS people into an enitre inside perimeter systems/4 walls, its no wonder you gross that amount
Another thing MOST Inside Co do NOT do...they do NOT DEFINE the homeowners problem, thats right, they won`t take down part of drywall/paneling to....ahem, SEE the wall-part of wall where homeowner has the problem/leak.
When one doesn`t DEFINE the problem it leads to problems/complaints, sure does.
PLUS....many of these same homeowners who have finished basements will ONLY have 1-2 cracks behind drywall OR, have one or several leaky rod holes, thats it! OR...some will have water that FIRST enters from ABOVE grade openings, around bsmt windows,open mortar joints etc and it runs down from top of bsmt wall, BEHIND drywall where homeowners sees it enter onto basement floor along cove/cold joint.
Many do NOT need what you folks would rather sell/install, and that is these drain tile or baseboards systems.
They don`t stop/prevent water-moisture from entering on the outside thus, won`t stop/prevent mold/efflorescence/radon/insects AND....they do not take any soil pressure or roots off the outside of basement wall(s). NO they don`t! NOT from the Inside, bs.
Only way to help lessen/relieve outside soil pressure `n roots is to remove and haul away the expanding-contracting soil `n roots, waterproof,Not damproof the wall and backfill with most-all gravel.
Are you saying that because you make/made MILLIONS that you are the utmost authority-expert on the planet? I have NEWS for YOU.....your NOT! |
