"The crew was delayed a day at another job, but once the mulch was delivered everything was completed in one and one-half days. They did a great job and did everything they said they would do. The job required a lot of mulch and looks great. We are already receiving compliments from our neighbors."

"Once we hired this company our experience with him was good. He was on time and he did the work we requested. A few days after installation we noticed that the was a gap and the water was once again pooling in our garden beds pushing out our mulch which is why we decided to purchase gutters anyway. We spoke to him and explained the issue, he gave us a day he'd come by to fix the issue. He never showed up and he will not respond to our calls or text. It is very disappointing and unprofessional that he is not following up on his work. It was a little more then a week when we noticed the issue. I'm concerned about the issues we will in the future. At this point I would NOT recommend him to anyone due to his lack of following up to assure his customer is satisfied with the work."

"1000% Perfection!!!!! whole house re piped Let me start out by saying I am not easily impressed. My husband and I were without water in our newly bought home for a week, after calling several companies we were let down and left again without any running water to our home. I happened to do another search for a plumbing company and expected the same let down but, Duck Duck Rooter came through. Sean, came down, did a assessment and explained to me every detail that was needed and that would take place. Sean, assembled a team which was Mike & Enoch and we could not have asked for a better team. They went above and beyond, extremely knowledgeable, polite and respectful. Mike & Enoch, took extreme care not to let my beloved cats out while going in and out, they kept their work areas clean and made sure not to destroy or make a mess of my house. Mike & Enoch, treated me and my home with respect which I appreciate more than anything. They are welcomed at our house anytime when they are in t"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. 

A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

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. 

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.
