Had a nice little foundation leak during the last rain storm. Installed a drain line last fall to divert two downspouts and front walkway run off away from the house which helped a lot. Front walkway and a big retaining wall next to it ultimately need to be removed and reinstalled with proper grading and drainage. That’s going to be a huge and expensive project so for now I’m just replacing all the worn out concrete sealant and hoping for the best.
Do you have a moment to talk about our lord and savior, Flex Seal? You can make a boat with it and float around in your basement!
Id argue 90% of home ownership boils down to trying to keep outside air and water out of the house. If you can do both of those, you’re winning the battle.
Is this an American thing? I’ve never heard of a foundation leak before.
