"Matt Hahn from AFS Phenix City did an outstanding job for me. He came and inspected my crawl space, which was encapsulated back in 2021. He answered all my questions, was super friendly, and was a pleasure to work with."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold and moisture from entering your space. If your vapor barrier is properly installed and intact, it will dramatically reduce the chance that your crawl space develops mold. That said, moisture can condense in the area. If you notice excess humidity, you may need to install a dehumidifier to stave off mold and mildew growth.

As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it’s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you’ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.

Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations.
