Get matched with top basement waterproofing pros in Florence, CO

Q: Can I convert a basement into a game room, and what are the challenges?

• <div><p>Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.</p></div>

Q: What is the best drainage around a foundation?

• <div><p>Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it&rsquo;s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques&mdash;like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation&mdash;to resolve the underlying problem.</p></div>

Q: What should I consider when cleaning my crawl space?

• <div><p>Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/mold-testing-and-remediation.htm">local mold remediation pro</a>, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/junk-removal/">nearby junk removal service</a> to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.</p></div>

Q: How long should you wait after a new build to finish a basement?

• <div><p>You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.</p></div>

Q: How can I protect my house from a sump pump failure?

• <div><p>Thankfully, you do have a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-keep-your-sump-pump-running.htm">sump pump backup options</a> 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. </p><p>Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home&rsquo;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.</p></div>

"The initial interview and project scoping meeting was a pleasant experience. Matt Gowler is a true professional when it comes to planning. He wanted to know how the space was to be used, who would use it, what our expectations were and special requirements. He drew up a plan that was perfect for us.The construction went like clockwork on the schedule our project manager Ben set up. We were kept informed of progress regularly and all of the materials vendors we met with were fantastic. Picking out cabinets, counter tops, carpet, tile, and paint colors was quick and easy. Their promise was done in 45 days or less and they were done in less than 45 days with a 900 square foot basement. They contacted us today for a followup check of anything that needed to be fixed. They were very pleasant to work with and we were not bothered by workers at all. Ben coordinated everything and made sure it all went right.
