"The owner (Michel Bervaldi) was very informative and forthcoming re the project. Unfortunately, financial priorities did not allow us to follow though without the project. We did speak with other contractors and Michel would have been our first choice if we were to proceed as originally planned."

"James and Robert came out early the next morning, after I had a huge leak under my sink and flooded kitchen. I called James at 9pm that evening. They arrived early to assess the problem and gave me an incredibly reasonable estimate. They are professional, friendly, and completed the repairs in record time. I live in a 65 year-old home and have had my share of inept, incompetent trades people, specifically plumbers, rip me off and do shoddy workâ ¦ James and Robert are top-notch, and even gave me good advice as to who to call to avoid a mold issue with the wet interior and exterior walls. Donâ t hesitate to call VIP Plumbing for your plumbing needs. They are awesome!!! Susan VanDenBerg"

"Great people and honest. I appreciate this all the more lately after having to deal with two separate plumbing companies who were not nearly as honest. They mounted a toilet, roughed in two drains and some other work for $306. I was quoted by another company that this job would cost almost $2000.   Honest people need to be rewarded and it is hard to find them these days. Thank you! Thanks again for helping me out:)"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Standard homeowners insurance policies may cover basement water damage or flooding, but only if it is caused by a sudden and accidental event that is a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a failing appliance. Damage caused by natural flooding from extreme weather, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is typically excluded and requires a separate flood insurance policy. Some insurers also offer an optional water backup endorsement for issues like sewer backups. Review your policy or speak with your agent to understand your specific coverage.

If you set up a dehumidifier, it will usually dry out your wet crawl space within 12 to 24 hours. Once the space is dry, it’s a good idea to take preventative measures to keep it dry. These include installing a French drain or other exterior foundation drainage system, installing a sump pump in the crawl space, and installing a vapor barrier in addition to leaving the dehumidifier running.

Water damage to concrete is often gradual and can take months, if not years, for a concrete structure to be fully destroyed. The process often starts with cracks on the surface, followed by sinking slabs and eventually crumbling cement. Therefore, it is important to repair minor damages early to prevent the situation from worsening.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly
