Some one Reputable would be a Contractor that is well familiar with foundations and it’s waterproofing requirements for that particular area. I would not recommend a waterproofing Contractor, due the fact they all sell something different and could cost even more money for something that has not been proven for the past 30 years or so. I would note it as I see it and recommend a reputable foundation Contractor to assess your concern of the water intrusions if existing, or potential there of.
#STEM WALL FOUNDATION REPAIR PATCH#
Anything different to that is just a patch to buy time before it all starts up again. quoted, it will cost some money to do it from the outside, but, that is the only proper way to do it. What does that tell us.? To me it means more education, co-ordinated efforts, and quality control on the General Contractor that is to oversee the project to begin with and prevent these problematic scenarios. The problem is that a foundation Contractor will come in and do his thing, and the one that follows can not identify the problem, so it gets buried and the problem begins. Water intrusions from instances as a cold joint should be addressed before the foundation is backfilled and identified as a problem by the builder. I am not a fan at all on trying to resolve water intrusion on foundation work from the inside. You might think it is off topic, but I don’t think it is and welcome your views on the topic, because it all relates to one another. This is off-thread, but contributes to the understanding of the problem. Waterproofing the inside of the wall/joint would still raise moisture levels within the wall but might be an alternative for someone without big bucks.
