When people first notice their wet basement, they usually make one of these mistakes. Don’t do it!
Mistake #1: Doing nothing about it
Ah, the old “out of sight, out of mind” issue. Since it’s a wet basement, not a wet kitchen or wet living room, you probably aren’t directly exposed to the issue every single day. So you keep thinking, well, I‘ll fix it later. Except later the problem will be exponentially worse.
Mistake #2: Trying to fix it yourself
Sure you’re handy, but fixing a wet basement may not be anywhere near as simple as you might think. It could be something as easy as basement crack injection, or you may need to install an entire French drain system. Leave it to the experienced.
Mistake #3: Hiring a sketchy contractor off of Craigslist
Think the contractor you’re hiring has prices that are just way too good to be true. They probably are. Look for his work to be subpar and for him to be long gone when you try and get him out to fix his mistakes.
