Ok i just moved into a 40 year old house that had been renovated. I've been here for 2 months. It was perfectly clean(upstairs and basement) until it rained real hard. The basement has flooded 3 times in
2 months. Now there is mold on the baseboards, in the basement and the new carpet is waterlogged(trash).Now for the questions...
1 - Is the person who sold me the house Liable for the flood damage?2 - To fix the flooding should i call B-dry, basements.com or someone else?
3 - Water is coming from under the house and leaking into the basement, i've dug trenches around the house to keep the water away from the foundation but water is still leaking into the basement.Could the water be going down the chimney, draining into the foundation and then leaking into the basement??????
The chimney isn't covered with anything(like a chimney cap).
