Water coming into My Basement Rental - AHHHHH

[Jorge P.]

Pic #1: This is the water I found in one of my  rentals that’s about 5’ below grade. This came AFTER we had finished doing a foundation waterproofing around the perimeter of the house! - How could this happen!?

I had to do some brainstorming . I was actually excited this happened!(Find something good about your problem & get excited ). I was about to find the solution to a problem I knew many investors and homeowner HATED dealing with when they encountered it. 

Tip: Once you figure out the solution to a problem you now are able to solve it at lower cost in less time.

Pic #2: The solution was to install an interior French drain.This captures the water before it rises to floor level and channels it back out of the home. Note: holes on pipes go facing down not up. Just had them this way to show holes in picture

Pic #3: The room is now dry and ready to be finished & rented.
