Fellow New England property owners,
I have a property in Dorchester that frequently gets water in the basement when it rains. It's a combination I think of where it sits on the slope of a hill and I also think it's seeping up from the ground. Right now there isn't any sump pump, french drain, or de-humidifier of any kind and it likely needs all three. A de-humidifier alone will not solve the problem, I'm talking puddles down there, not just "dampness."
Does anyone have recommendations for a good contractor who can attack this for me?
Thanks!

Hi Christian, installing a french drain w/sump pump is your best bet to completely eliminate the issue.
We used B-Dry in one of our properties and worked great.
Good luck!
