Damn man, couldn't have happened at a worse time. I really do hope eveything works out okay for you.

Shit dude, I'm so sorry to hear that. The Reed83's will certainly throw some vibes out your way.

That's fucked. Once is bad enough, but to have it happen a second time right before the closing date would send me over the fucking edge. Hope the buyers don't pull out.

Christ that sucks. Best of luck Clevo.

well, who told the buyers?! ;)

did you at least cover in the seller's disclosure that you had water in the basement previously?

worse case scenario, get some pricing on what it would take to get the problem fixed and offer to split it with them if they threaten to walk away.

good luck!

we had water in our basement two days after closing and that was the only question the seller skipped on the disclosure form. i completely missed it cause they slip it by AT closing.

the problem was that water was seeping in around the water main. nothing major, but derinitely annoying for a 4yo house. anyway, the first two estimates i got for fixing it were $4,500 (for an internal french drain and plastic lining for the walls) and $6,000 to dig up the front yard and waterproof the outside of the foundation. neither seemed like the right solution (and not just cause of the price)

after consulting with some actual home builders, i got hooked up with a company that does a high-powered silicon injection that goes through the full width of the foundation to seal cracks. $450. haven't had a problem since.

Ya it was disclosed plus they have a elderly mother in law that live accross the street. This is the reason for purchasing it.

So far new hotwater tank. $800.00. Today the cleaning people should be here between 11 and 1.

May take 3 days to air out and disinfect. I hate this house.

deep breath, friend.
it's not cheap, but you'll be out soon.

Ya I know. Fingers are crossed like a son of a bitch. Once this is done and over with I will smile for days. We close on the 15th. This weather is driving me fucking crazy.

Please Mr. Rain and Crappy Weather! If you hear me PLEASE STAY AWAY UNTIL AFTER THE HOUSE IS SOLD!
