met with a potential client a couple weeks ago...basement was getting wet and they were scared to death that the fix was going to cost them thousands of dollars.  after touring the home and trouble shooting, i noticed the gutters were draining too close to the home.  i moved the gutters for them (for free) as the land graded down acceptably.  after a very we weekend, the basement stayed dry...

a wet basement can be costly to fix but sometimes it isn't...the right trouble shooter can look at the gutters and the land and sometimes come up with a simple fix for a big problem....
