With tenants, if you give them an inch they will take 10 miles.

Hi all,In past whenever I had questions, I always turn to BP and it always is helpful, so asking one more question.I am a new landlord and yesterday at 8.30 pm tenant reported that there is about 2 inch of water in basement.

Even the useless trash that occupies every last inch of their house?

Ran camera in 4 inch cast iron sewer pipe 31ft to 4 inch clay sewer pipe.

We looked at one in a torrential rainstorm 1.5 months ago - water was running in an addition on the original house in 2 - 3 places (roof was covered in 2-3 inches of composting leaves and looked to be 20+ years old).  

Use 'image' at the bottom of the reply box.When faucets have been leaking to the wall a while in my rentals, I sometimes cut out the bottom inch or so of the rotted plaster or drywall and install a little 4" tile or mesh backsplash.  

Upon arrival we found at least 4 inches of water throughout the basement.

Instead of using foil duct tape, he sprayed "Great Stuff" foam INSIDE of the 8 inch in diameter active vent/pipe.

And yes prices are inching higher.

If it more than say a 1/4 inch, it is time to call a foundation expert to take a look.
