Your “System” sounds
expensive?
The Barrier Dual Drainage
Waterproofing System costs about
the same as one of those band
aid interior systems. In many
instances our system is found to
be even less.
-
Why can’t I just install
larger downspouts and make the
problem go away?
We understand your thinking
but the answer is no. Larger
gutters and downspouts,
re-grading, burying downspouts,
French drains, and even concrete
have all been tried and have
failed. You must understand that
the problem is not topical, it’s
subsurface.
-
Your System seems complex,
how long does it take to do a
job?
Our system is very complex.
Our experienced field personnel
can install the average system
in about 2 to 4 days.
-
I have an interior system and
it always fails during larger
storms, why?
Because your system is
overrun and simply cannot handle
everything that Mother Nature
throws at it.
-
What about your system, will
it get “overrun” also?
Positively not! Our system
has been designed to handle much
more than the projected worse
case scenario.
-
Really, what make your system
so good?
The exclusive products we
use really work…period! Just
read our Guarantee published on
this site and then read any of
our competitors. Make sure to
read all their fine print as
well.
-
I’ve talked to another
waterproofing company and the
salesman said his system would
end my problems “forever”, is
that possible?
Other
systems may solve the “water
on the floor” problem, but
as we understand, the REAL
PROBLEM is not the water of
the floor. It might be the
water in the building
materials, the structural
damage, the health risks,
and the decrease in home
value.
-
The same salesman told me
that my walls would still be wet
but I would never have to mop up
the water again. Isn’t this want
I want…no more cleaning up the
mess after a long hard day?
Not exactly. Interior
systems merely redirect the
water after it penetrates the
foundation walls. The water
comes in and is captured and
redirected leaving the walls
wet.
-
Why should I be concerned
with wet or discolored walls?
If the walls are wet or
“discolored” due to moisture you
should be extremely concerned. A
foundation wall is like a sponge
and it will hold moisture. This
can lead to BIGGER PROBLEMS!
-
What do you mean by “Bigger
Problems”?
STRUCTURAL DECAY, HEALTH
RISKS, AND POOR RESALE VALUE.
Building materials and water
don’t mix and MOLD begins
growing within 24 to 36 hours of
a water leak.
-
MOLD is known to grow on
cheese, so you just cut it off
and eat the cheese. Why should I
be concerned with MOLD?
There are many different
types of mold and some are
extremely TOXIC. Again, we don’t
ask that you take our word for
anything. Simply pick up the
phone and call your physician
and ask about the dangers
associated with “TOXIC” or
“BLACK MOLD”.
-
Will my homeowner’s insurance
policy pay for these repairs?
Sorry but the answer is NO. Your
policy won’t pay for any repair,
no matter what type. But please
don’t take our word for it. Get
your policy out and read what it
says for yourself.
-
I’m selling my house and the
foundation leaks every time it
rains and I’m looking for the
cheapest “fix” I can get. What’s
wrong with my taking the “low
bid” and selling the house?
We don’t profess to be legal
advisors but suggest that you
consult with a Real Estate
Attorney and propose the same
question. We think you’ll be
shocked at your potential
liability if the leak persists.
-
OK then, I’ll just sell the
house “as is”. That should take
care of the liability issue,
right?
Only if you disclose to the
buyer that the foundation leaks.
Many folks think that “as is”
means not disclosing existing
problems…they’re wrong! If
you are selling “as is” you must
disclose any and all existing
problems or you could be held
liable for failure to disclose.
Just ask your attorney to verify
what we are saying.
-
Will this be a “messy”
process?
As with any construction,
yes. The big difference is that
our “mess” is confined to the
outside of your home. We assure
you there will be no workers or
mess inside your home and nobody
will be knocking on your door
asking to use your bathroom or
looking for a glass of water. No
foul language, no loud and
annoying music, and absolutely
no trash left behind…period! We
are professionals every step of
the way. Our promise is to
treat your home as we would our
own.
-
This all sounds good. Can you
give me a price over the phone?
That would be no more
possible than your doctor
treating you over the phone.
Every house is different and
must be inspected prior to
rendering a price.
-
I guess that makes sense. But
will you “hound” me after I call
and subsequently meet with you?
We aren’t “professional
salespeople” and we don’t play
those games. We are simply hard
working contractors and
waterproofing professionals and
will inspect your problem, show
you what we do, and render our
opinion. After all it’s your
home and your decision, not
ours.
-
How soon can you install your
system if I agree to go forward?
That all depends on our
workload at that time. We make
it a policy to never “bump”
anyone in favor of another.
