Looking for advice and a good contractor..
I have a ranch style home with a pored foundation. We purcahsed the home 2 years ago but have not used the finished basement due to moisture concerns.
The Good: thier is a raised section of the floor (aprox 3 inches in depth) that is roughly 30 x 15 this is the only area that was finished.
Thier is a sump pump. Thier is a modern parmiter system around the back wall and a few other portions. They are calling it a 3/4 system. The front wall appears to have an old french drain.
The Bad: No battery back up. With the recent ice storm and power outage we had no sump and hence water.
So we need to redo. I would like to know if anyone can suggest a good contractor as well as any suggestions. on the french drain. Do we replace?
Thanks
Mike
