An essential part of a viable garden design, is considering the costs involved in care and maintenance. Ignoring this is like buying a great sports car, only to find afterwards, that you can’t afford the insurance!
Whether you hire a professional gardener to maintain your garden, or care for it yourself, the same question arises. On what exactly, are you spending your money or your time? If you’re spending money on a gardener, it’s a matter of time is money. The more time the gardener has to spend, the more money you have to pay out. If on the other hand it is your time at stake, it’s a question of how effectively you are using the most precious and irreplaceable resource at your disposal.
When it comes to basement waterproofing, there’s been many new advances in recent times. It’s time to drop old ways of thinking and embrace the innovations in the field.
The standard in basement waterproofing for many decades was to install
a drainage system outside of the foundation walls in order to catch
water and drain it away from the house. Unfortunately, exterior
foundation drains are failing all over the country, causing basements
to flood at great inconvenience and expense to the homeowner.
