They did NOT correctly & honestly IDENTIFY the homeowners problem which is, one or more EXTERIOR cracks/on the outside of the hollow block walls and possibly,one or more openings/gaps ABOVE grade such as open mortra joints,openings/gaps in,under,around basement windows,doors and so on. http://photosmart.hpphoto.com/FilmStripHome.aspx?JobID=444d16e8-4345-4708-8dc4-ccd2d711e507&SKU=HP

If one doesn`t stop/ELIMINATE water then one won`t stop/prevent MOLD,EFFLORESCENCE. http://www.aggregateresearch.com/forum/viewmessage.aspx?AreaID=82&MID=2360

..."the best way to prevent the problem is to prevent water from infiltrating the blocks...."

..."whenever WE see this problem there is usually a leak somewhere that allows WATER to ENTER the BLOCK WALL"

MOLD http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Story?id=131638&page=3 ..."more importantly,you need to ELIMINATE the cause". NOT continue to allow WATER to enter and divert it around perimeter! That would be incompetent/negligent.

http://abcnews.go.com/WNT/Story?id=131638&page=7 ..."Remember, cleaning up the mold is not enough.You MUST FIND the WATER source and ELIMINATE it" Hello? Knock knock.

WATERPROOFING- ...."be prepared to weed through an array of proposals from waterproofing contractors--A LOT of THEM BOGUS. Done right,basement waterproofing is an EXTERIOR operation"

..FLOOR-WALL JOINTS

Inside system drill HOLES in hollow block walls and leave them OPEN. They also leave a GAP OPEN along the FLOOR-WALL joint.

And, duh, they don`t go outside and repair/waterproof any EXTERIOR cracks,loose-cracked parging etc as in block basement walls

MISREPRESENTING why/where WATER enters the basement/why it really leaks and may have some mold/efflorescence on parts of basement wall and/or,why-where a CRACK/defect/flaw exists or why a wall is bowing in, is at LEAST incompetence and very often in this business,FRAUD.
