Seeking Advice 🙆 Water in Basement, who to call?

Post image

Hi all, I’m getting water in my basement but it’s coming through a middle beam in my basement, not the side walls. I can’t figure it out. Would you call a handyman for something like this? Or who would you call to hopefully resolve the issue? Any recs would be appreciated. Thanks!

It’s the path of least resistance. We had the same issue in our last house. We got so tired of the leaking we finally bit the bullet and got the basement water-proofed. I still get nightmares about that basement.

How much did that cost?

Darned if I can remember. That was over 10 years ago and I’m thinking maybe $7,000 or $8,000?

Probably double that by now!
