Atony cancelled appointments with legitimate companies

Several waterproofing companies in the area have experienced a considerable loss of business since the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department issued a warning to residents about a fraudulent water leak checking scam. In a recent Mail-Journal article. the department noted that a number of residents had received calls from a woman claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service and asking to check several homes' basements for water leaks. The sheriff urged residents not to allow the woman into their homes and to withhold forwarding any money to such persons. However, many reacted by canceling appointments'with legitimate waterproofing companies. Mike Liebenthal, general manager of Everdry Waterproofing in Fort Wayne, noted that he had lost about 25 percent of his business over the past two weeks. “There are people out there genuinely trying to help people with water leak problems but this article adversely affected those people." he said. Liebenthal noted the importance for people to ask for referrals when checking contracted business. "The first step to take when checking the credibility of the company is to call the Better Business Bureau." He also noted that most waterproofing companies offer free inspections with no obligation. The majority of reputable waterproofing companies also belong to the National Associa-

tion of Waterproofing Contractors. which can be checked by calling 216-464-2484. While he concedes that people should be cautious with anyone they let in the door of their homes, Liebenthal was concerned with a growing resistance from customers. “We offer identification if a homeowner requests it and we're open to any type of reference check — we just don't want to see a negative blanket coverage of waterproofing companies." he said. Sheriff Ron Robinson had noted that now is the time of year for persons to start calling and attempting to defraud senior citizens. However, several simple steps can be taken to assure that reputable companies aren't adversely affected by such fraudulent action.
