Last week we had a company by the name of B-dry Systems of Milwaukee come out and take a look at our property to see what needs to be done to "waterproof" our house. This gentleman said that we dont need to install an inside drain tile system. What we need to do is replace the driveway, put up gutters(which we dont want to), and regrade the one side of the house that we thought we did a good job doing. I emailed this information to Tim(our inspector that we are working with). I dont think he liked this answer and asked if I had gotten a hold of the 2nd company he had given me. Today Mc Coy Contractors came out to take a look at our property. He came up with our best solution of digging up around the foundation, installing a drain tile on the outside, back filling it with crushed stone, topping it off with a filter then top soil. This should take care of our issues. Now he said he cant gurantee that we'd have a 100% waterproof basement all the time, but this should significantly help us. If we were allowed to go this route, we would then get a new front proch(needed), a new back stoop(not really a need), and a new driveway(a DESPERATE need).
So I ask that you continue to pray for God's will to be done here because this is His house and we want to glorifiy Him with the work and the house. I will keep you updated as I know more.
