First, diagnose
Because Fort Wayne sits at the meeting point of three rivers, tracing an entry point means watching the wall during an actual rain event, not guessing from a dry-day inspection.
The full scope
- Entry point traced during an actual rain event
- Grading and downspout discharge near the foundation
- River-driven groundwater versus surface runoff
- Wall, floor-joint, or footing-drain origin
- A written record for comparing providers
Worth noting locally
With the St. Marys, St. Joseph, and Maumee converging here, a Fort Wayne assessment is usually more useful right after a rain event than before one.
