Leaking Basement of early 1900s row home
We are finishing up a rehab on an early 1900s row home, but still having issues with water in the basement.
Initially, there was some leaking in the front and rear of the basement- so we fixed all the downspouts, diverted any possible points for water.
I talked with 3 different contractors to get bids and ideas for what to do with the basement to make sure we could stop the water. They all pretty much came up with the same idea- fix all the gutters, stop any water from the exterior from coming in & seal the basement walls.
We ended up coving all of the basement walls with concrete- but this clearly has not stopped any leaking issues. Water seems to be seeping through walls (all walls- not just front and rear).
I've reached out to a few waterproofing companies to hear their advice- but I wanted to jump on here and see if anyone has gone through similar issues & how you have dealt with it.
