I have 3 bedroom 2 bath residential home in a nice area on a nice block which all the neighbors have well kept up and clean homes.

Inspection and clean drain of debris, and re-secure drain fasteners if necessary.

While the property does require renovation, its location just a block from the new baseball stadium adds significant value and potential.Our challenge, and the reason we’re seeking advice or considering a sale, is that we are facing some hurdles.

We installed an interior French drain system in the basement, because we knew that the neighborhood is prone to water intrusion.

It’s 2 blocks off of a major road.

Never took an hour to remove it or an hour to install it. 1. shut off water supply line(turn handle) 15 seconds2. flush toilet 10 seconds3. vacuum and drain water 2 minutes maybe 4 lay out cardboard(from toilet box) put out trash bag5 remove 5/16 nuts one on each side with hollow shaft nut driver 2 minutes6 pick up toilet and place into bag 2 minutes7 clean up old wax ring from flange and inspect flange 2 minutes8 place wax ring 1 minute9 install new flange bolts 1 minute 10pick up toilet and place on new ring if you didn’t ring right maybe 5 minutes 10 tighten down new bolts 2 minutes 11 cut bolts and install caps 2 minutes 12 reinstall water line 1 minute and turn on 13 flush to check for leaks 14 caulk back of toilet seal if you choose 1 minute15 carry away toilet to truck 10 minutes tops. this a 30 minute job.

You're in EAST CL on Coventry for example, well right down the block is SH, two very different worlds 

We installed an interior French drain system in the basement, because we knew that the neighborhood is prone to water intrusion.

Rotting window frames, unsafe electrical issues, a tub and sink that didn’t drain properly, a promised dishwasher that turned out to be broken and unusable, a driveway with tons of pot holes so deep that they could have easily damaged cars, and much, much more.

Any recommendations on structural engineers that won’t drain my wallet?
