"Elijah performed the estimate, took measurements, planned how to run hoses, etc. He did a great job explaining the process they use. I felt like I had a new friend when he left. After getting another quote to make sure Groundworks was in the ballpark on cost, I went with Groundworks. After completing paperwork and paying a reasonable deposit, two technicians showed up promptly to do the work. They were great as well. There was an opening from under the patio slab to under the house slab were the back door opened onto the patio and some foam got under the house slab and was raised just enough to interfere with the door frame squareness. They helped me to make corrections which included making a hole inside the back door and adding enough foam to bring the door frame square. Luckily the house slab had nothing on it as I intend to tile later in the job. I highly recommend Groundworks."
"This is a great company to use in making a 141 year old basement waterproof. I look foreward to having a waterproo basemant. Craig was pleasant and went the extra mile to make the experience great."

"Our crawl space was an absolute wreck. We did an entire house renovation several years ago, but I've never seen a transformation like what Kyle, Chet, and Jake performed today when they encapsulated underneath my house. Not only does the work look impeccable, they even showed up 2 days early after finishing another job to get a jump on my project. They were on time, and worked the entire day. I don't think they even took a lunch break. The customer service was great too. Anytime I approached them with a question or request, they would take off their masks and lights, and I would tell them "Man you don't have to do all that.", they would respond with "No. It's ok. We always have time for the customer.". They were extremely polite and informative about what was happening. This is a great company with great employees who care about the work they're doing. That is hard to find these days. If I ever need another service that they provide, I won't hesitate to hire Redeemers Group. It was definitely a 5 star experience. Thank You!"
"We had 1 issue after installation and they came out right away & fixed it. Great attitudes and were on time as scheduled. Very professional crew. We had just remodeled the basement for 1100 sq ft living space to be added to the home, so I didn’t expect the basement to be such a mess afterwards, so would recommend them emphasize that the client will be cleaning all that up after the install. Very messy after the foundation was dug up around the whole inside perimeter. We still haven’t had the money to replace the new flooring that was pulled up. I should have paid more attention to the contract. That’s on me, not them."
"Caleb could not have been any more friendly, respectful, timely and extremely reasonable. I would most definitely use Caleb on any future plumbing needs."
"I've never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient business in my entire life. These guys are on their game. Above and beyond in every possible way! The price was very fair."
"Incredibly respectful and professional, VERY hardworking (worked until they couldnâ t see their hands in front of their faces), great quality work, fair prices. Will definitely hire them again."
"Haven Contracting did a phenominal job. From the first time I met with the gentleman for the estimate, to the time the project was done every person was extremely proffesional. I have dealt with many other construction companies in the past, and would have never expected service like this. 10/10 recommend this for any of your construction needs!"
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it.
Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.
If a crawl space isn’t vented, there can be moisture buildup, which can lead to mold damage, easily destroying the foundation of your home. A closed-off crawl space can trap heat, which can be useful in the winter, but can also trap dangerous gases and prevent clean air from entering the home through the floorboards.
Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.
Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage.
Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses.
