"David came from to my home in Kentucky 2 hours away to conduct a inspection and estimate for waterproofing my basement. David was ontime for the predetermined appointment and was completely professional in his inspection while being personable and informative. His explanation of the services to be completed as well as the associated costs answered all questions I had. This young man was open and honest about the entire process and represented the company and himself in the highest possible way. Iâ d do business with David and AFS again."
"Frontier Basement Systems (Joelton, TN) was really fantastic to work with! The job had to be rescheduled multiple times due to my concern about the excessive rain causing the ingress/egress area in my yard to be too soft for the weight of the work truck, but Logan in the Production Dept. was extremely accommodating. Eric F. arrived promptly and was extremely courteous. He was thorough, making sure he had all the voids filled, and cleaned up well when the job was completed. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Frontier Basement Systems!"

"The work team was professional and efficient, making sure they cleaned up after themselves each day. Other service professionals have commented on what an excellent job the Crawlspace Doctor did with sealing our basement. One comment was "it's so clean down there you could eat off the floor" although I won't test that out. This was money well spent."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable.
A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.
If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:
Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.
Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.
Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.
To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.
While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.
Waterproofing or encapsulating protects against moisture, preventing mold growth and structural damage. These services also enhance energy efficiency and improve air quality by keeping humidity levels in check.
