Inspection of condo showed problems with basement leaking. Seller contracted waterproofer and told us we'd receive a 15 year guarantee from the waterproofer. Purchase of condo went through. Two weeks later there was severe water leakage in the basement. The basement was intended to be an office. A new rug was installed and furniture was moved in and had to be dried out. Water came in through one wall where drains were not installed. Waterproofer says seller told him to only install drains on certain walls. Seller says he told waterproofer to do whatever was necessary to waterproof the basement. Waterproofer said this was a bad rain and wouldn't normally leak and that we should wait and see if it happens again. We feel we shouldn't have to pay when we were told the basement would be waterproofed and we'd have a 15 year guarantee. Who is to blame and how can we get them to finish the job so the basement can be used as an office without worrying that the carpet and furniture will get ruined by the next rain?
