Great Book

very informative and gives you an idea of what to expect from a waterproofing contractor when they come to do your job. i don't want any water in my basement, and this book seems to ans all my concerns on how to achieve it

Dry Basement in Minnesota...

This is a must read for anyone with a wet basement. This book educates you on everything you need to know about waterproofing your basement, forever... I recommend reading this book before meeting with anyone who thinks they know how to waterproof a basement. In many cases, after reading the book, you will be smarter than the person you have to come and look at your basement. After reading this book (I recommend reading it twice - it's an easy read) you will know every question you need to ask yourself, your family, and potential contractors. I read this book, met with potential contractors, then selected the local/regional dealer for Complete Basement Systems. I went from having a very damp - and wet basement when it rained - to a basement that is completely dry, doesn't smell like mold or mildew, has no more spiders, and is guaranteed for the life of my house. Before getting this system, I worried about not being able to ever sell my house, now, my house is worth at least $10-20K more. Sincerely, Dry Basement in MN.

Brilliant!

This book was an excellent investment. After years and years of endless water problems in my basement, I was finally ready to figure out what was causing these issues and what the heck I could do about it. I decided to check this book out. It was an easy read and written in plain terms. I actually understood what they were talking about! This book has it all and helped me to finally get the job done right. I highly recommend it!

Very Informative

The book was extremely helpful in preparing me with the proper questions to ask the basement waterproofing contractors who came out to give estimates on my basement. The book goes into explaining the science behind how air moves through a house, and its effect on home energy and air quality, especially as it pertains to allergies with mold and dust mites.

Got the water out of my basement permanently

This book has wealth of information on basement waterproofing. My basement got flooded several times before and then I read the methods in this book and called the right people... and now I have a dry basement even with all the rains we are having ...
