Bro was speechless for a second trying to figure wtf these ppl did lolol

[coopers]

I love his inability to find the words to describe the carnage he’s witnessing.

[zerg]

When something is so stupid you can't even figure out how to describe it.

[jamesont]

I truly appreciate the emphasis you placed on the deep sadness and disappointment obtained within the discovery of that abomination.

[seansimpson]

Dude was working so hard not to curse great self control

[connorshoots]

he was just absolutely flabbergasted. complete loss of words.

American dry in CT is the best. I went through 13 contractors for quotes and methods. After all had different approaches I spent months researching. American dry was the only company who was on point. It's been 4 years now, and no issues. No maintenance either

The only way to fix a wet basement is to prevent the water getting in, so fixing it from the outside is always better.

Grading contractor here-

Ninety percent of time problems like that can be fixed outside

Bought a house a couple years ago, and the basement was finished. Experienced some water leakage along the walls in a couple of spots. Removed the wall covering the concrete and found cracks in the wall that were shoddily repaired. Got my Dad's mini-ex, and dug the exterior up to the footing and repaired from the outside, then installed a real, working perimeter drain.

Thanks for explaining what we were looking at. what was under the concrete? What was that thing you pulled up? why was it a bad job?

[JeffreyIsbell]

It would have been nice to have the problem explained.

Guy is a stronger man than I. There's no way I would have been able to watch my language. From now on I will try to channel this guy anytime I'm trying to find words that are appropriate for other ears.

When i was looking at houses, I walked into a basement that had a nice crack in the foundation that had been repaired. Upon seeing it, I told our realtor "next house." She tried to say something, but I repeated it again. This particular house was no older than 6 years old.

Meanwhile the grade and gutters outside are not working properly.

[theoriginalmonstermaker]

What would be nice is an explanation of the problem and a purposed solution

[MarioGoatse]

Old mate stood there looking at it like it just called his mum a turd.

[tomr]

Good job at clearly explaining what they did, what was wrong with it, what they should have done, and what you're going to do to remedy it. Thanks for that.

[bigal]

Anytime I work on my house this is exactly how I see the next guy coming in and finding my work

[topperdepop]

Love the explanation of WHY it is bad. Bravo.
