The brickwork in our basement has been deteriorating for years — clearly from water seeping in. So far, we’ve gotten two very different opinions about what needs to be done. One focuses on outside work: digging down 3-4 feet around the building to repair and waterproof the foundation wall. The other estimate focuses on replacing and sealing the basement windows to keep water out & then simply applying thoro-seal where the outside wall meets the ground.
Has anyone dealt with this problem and is able to share remedy as well as company used?
