"I had a water leak that was located outside by the water meter that unfortunately was on the customer side so Toho turned my water off as gallons were pouring out. I called ace solves it all and they were able to send a technician within 2 hours. David Castillo was the technician, who inspected the leak and was able to explain to me and the homeowner (in Spanish) what the issues were and give us a quote to fix the issue (this was after 6pm, so no after hour charge yay). David was very professional and was able to fix the issue the same day. Ace solves it all was able to provide a note to send to Toho so they don’t charge me an arm/leg for the water bill next month and we are also under a 2 year warranty for the repair. Thank you for your service David!"

"They knew what they were doing for sure , had many cracks and broken concrete that had dropped and had a big area that was a void, by the time they were done the pieces were together and they filled in all the cracks and sealed them. The only thing now is it looks like puzzle pieces. So now I need to resurface or texture .it was awesome to see"

"We hired Castle Concrete to completely redo half of our driveway and redo a large gravel-covered parking area. Michael was communicative throughout and provided everything in written estimate and contract. He and his crew were punctual, thoughtful in their design by suggesting improvements, paid attention to detail, and left the site clean and my driveway looking better than it ever has. He is also true to his word and easy to work with. Highly recommended."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Preventing future basement flooding often involves installing sump pumps, improving drainage, sealing foundation cracks, and maintaining gutters. Costs vary, but preventive measures can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the solutions chosen. Investing in prevention can save you money on future flooded basement cleanup costs and repairs.

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

The best way to ensure the ground next to your home’s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil.

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts
