"I called to set the appointment. they gave me a three hour time window. the gentlemen showed up towards the beginning of the time frame. they were very courteous. They explained what they were going to do, how the equipment worked, and about how long it would take. They cleaned my vents in a reasonable time. They also vacuumed up all the spider webs around my furnace while they were down there (I have a stone basement so it is a never ending battle). The next time I need my vents cleaned I will absolutely call them. I have recommended them to everyone I know."

"We recently bought a house in Sacramento. During the last rainy season we discovered that we had a drainage problem: pools of water formed next to the foundation and water was running underneath the house via the crawl space depression. Over the years, the grade on the north side of the house had developed a slope toward the house (probably due to adding soil for gardening) and the old flexible corrugated downspout drain pipes had clogged or collapsed and didn't run to the curb. Hays Engineering fixed all that. The company owner, Josh Hays, kept us informed about the project schedule and was on site. They contacted utilities to mark underground lines. They regraded the north side of the yard and installed a drainage system consisting of seven collection points using smooth 4 inch drainage pipe (that can be cleaned out if necessary). The Hays Engineering crew used a laser level to ensure that the slope of each drainage pipe was correct. The terminal ends of the drainage pipes were fitted with pop-up drainage emitters. In-ground irrigation pipes were rerouted where necessary. Digging the trenches for the system was done very carefully and they hand dug when approaching an underground line. Mr. Hays and his team were friendly, professional, and answered all of our questions. Not only did Hays Engineering do an outstanding job, the cost was very reasonable. We highly recommend Hays Engineering and would use them again without hesitation."
"He was awesome. He called back, but he was working in Reed field, North Carolina and he could not get to us for a couple of days. By the time, he got to us we had already gotten the other estimates, and we were pleased with him. Hampton guy was great. He was really quick to get back to us, but he had other projects that he had already lined up. The experience was very satisfactory. He was very courteous, and prompt. He was very honest in saying that he cannot get to us, and if we needed to have this work done now, then we need to have to get somebody else. I appreciated that."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
A crawl space encapsulation isn’t always necessary, but it’s a wise choice, especially if you live in an area that sees a lot of precipitation. Sealing a crawl space not only reduces damage caused by moisture, mold, and pests, but it also increases your home’s value. It can also save you money by reducing energy bills and avoiding costly repairs for structural or foundation damage.
The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.
Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to water-damaged concrete.
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.
You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.
