a must-have for troubled basements
An excellent, informative book explaining all aspects of basement repair (even for nonstandard basements like ours). If you are going to spend thousands of dollars on your basement, buy this book first to understand what your specific basement problems and solutions are. If you have any lingering questions, the author encourages you to contact him. We emailed the author our questions and he responded with prompt, thoughtful advice that was very helpful. After reading the book and contacting the author, we now understand the necessary repairs and will make sure we pick a knowledgeable contractor. This book is a must-have if your basement is in trouble!

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.
