Three Types of Connecticut Homeowners But Many Types of Leaky Basements

I’ve found over the years that there are basically three types of homeowners in Connecticut. The first one has lived in his home for over 10 years and has never had water in his basement until now. The second ones have lived in his home for over 10 years and has had a wet basement since the day he moved in and he is just sick of dealing with that leaky basement by now. The third one – and the one I feel the most sorry for – is the one that just bought a new home and was told by the seller… “Oh no, Mr. There’s-A-Sucker-Born-Every-Minute, we’ve ever had water in our basement before.” Yeah, right! If you believe that one then I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn – and it doesn’t come with a damp, smelly, musty basement. I promise!
