Not really a lot of water, but when it rains I get a trickle.
50 year house, did all the things in order to stop it, but it
still comes in. Rerouted downspouts, lots of soil to keep the water away
from the house, etc.
A local company I called, has a different idea the they say, will stop this
forever.
It called WaterGuard, a perimeter type indoor system that goes inside
the the basement. Cement floor is cut and a special trough is
installed, and routed to a sump pump.
Any body every heard of it or have it installed. The company
that does this, has a very good reputation for doing good work.
Thanks,
Andy

There is more than one way to fix a leaking basement. Contractors seem
to all have their preferred method. But before I could make a
judgement I would want to know exactly how or where the water is
getting into the basement.

Does it come in everywhere, fixing the area it leaks is best

Well they are not really fixing the leak, they are just giving the water
somewhere to go.

yeah i've heard of another brand, called the "beaver system". it
works, as long as you don't mind having a trough around the perimeter
of your basement. of course, finishing a basement like this is out of
the questionl.
