DIY or Not ?
Diagnosing and repairing a leaking basement foundation is not a weekend do-it-yourself project. Like any serious health condition requiring surgery, a misdiagnosis of the cause behind a foundation leak can be quite costly in more ways than one. While there are many videos online, which one would you follow? Would you follow one that seems difficult or would you choose one that appears to be simple, and would the simple one work? Which video is accurate when it comes to your particular problem? What materials will you use and where do you get what you’ll need? The wrong diagnosis and inadequate products could cause or lead to serious structural issues.
We’ll begin covering some of those so-called “solutions” do-it-yourselfers fall victim to. There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to diagnosing and repairing a leak below grade foundation. We’ve repaired and waterproofed thousands of leaking foundations over the past 3-decades and no two were exactly the same. But not to worry, we’re here to help you avoid the pitfalls. If you’re a homeowner, all you need do is contact us and we’ll provide a FREE diagnosis along with the proper recommended course of action.
Don’t make the mistake of taking matters into your own hands, as many times a homeowner will create additional problems when trying to fix the problem themselves. Just give a call, you’ll eliminate additional repairs and be money ahead by doing so!
