The above title is a" working book".It is designed to be taken into the basement and around the foundation while home owners learn about repair options.Options which will ,when implemented,provide permanent solutions to water leakage and structural damage problems which are damaging their homes. Properly used even a novice in home repair/improvement should benefit.After reading the book,home owner s will have an idea of what their choices are,how they should be implemented, and get a good idea of approximate job cost.
The handbook is unique in many ways. It is the only consumer oriented book to be written about this important subject. Since fully half of the homes in America ,with basements, leak water, it is indeed an important subject.The book is written in straight forward non-technical language. This, plus the fact that it is fully illustrated, make understanding easy-even for novice home owners.Of course pricing is included,as a protection against paying too much for a given service. The book is updated annually,to include new technology ,new pricing and new ideas.The list goes on,but perhaps most important of all,free consulting services are made available to every reader.For the first time,experts,myself included,are standing by on a daily basis to answer any lingering questions.The stakes can be very high when a home is being assaulted by ground water.Consulting Services will allow us to provide a level of reader satisfaction which this type of problem demands.

Most Informative Book I've Read
Jack's book is the easiest and most understandable book I've ever read that deals with a home project. He gives you ideas and information that may be left out by a contractor. Also, he provides his contact information so you can ask him questions about your problem (and he's quick to respond). I would recommend this book to anyone and I know it will give me more confidence when I start talking to contractors.

Best book in this category and very helpful author
I couldn't be happier with my purchase of this book. Compared to few other books I bought for waterproofing, this one is much comprehensive. It gives you steps to follow for different systems. Best of all, Jack is extremely knowledgeable and helpful on the phone and email. He can't be doing this for money, it must be for passion!

Presented no 'new' ideas
As a senior homeowner/maintainer, I found the basement handbook just a compilation of ideas well known by me.
Probably a good book for newcomers...
