here is my drama, just moved into another house March 21st, had not put my other house on the market yet, so on the morning of the 23rd i am in a decent mood, up early at home depot picking up some paint and caulk to work on my house that i will be putting on the market. well the wife calls and says the house that we just moved into the basement was leaking, had not even rained recently. it had new carpet, the pad was soaked, i called my realtor, then the seller, the seller is a company that flips homes, they bought it back in August 2013. he was sure it was a drain issue, i knew it was not, anyway when we had did a final walk thru there was a huge dehumidier and big fan in the basement, someone said it was probably there to rid the house of the fumes from the newly painted laundry room, well maybe a fan, but not a dehumidifier. so as of right now they had a waterproofing company come over last Thursday, and the guy want to cut the floor on the inside and put in a drain tile, and sump pump, also grade on the outside, which it needs. to me they need to fix the leak from the outside, dig down to the footing, put up a membrane, also see if there are any cracks. and yes i had the house inspected, and we also had about 10 minor gas leaks, they are fixed. sorry to rant on but i have been quite pissed lately. i am still waiting to here what is next, but i am suggesting to them to also pull down the paneling in the basement to make there is no mold, plus the sill plate is rotted. what a freaking mess.
