"I had multiple tunnels made by an armadillo under my house concrete slab that went as far as 22 feet. I needed these to be pressure filled before having a new concrete patio poured. They were able to get the job scheduled quickly and completed on time. Blake and Coop (may be spelled wrong) did a professional job. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of foundation repair work."

"Our neighbor's yard slopes down towards our house. So water kept gathering around our foundation and leaking through after rain storms. This caused mold problems inside. Bullfrog waterproofed the foundation and installed a French drain system with catch basin drains to help move water away from this area of our yard. They also handled the mold and water restoration work on the inside at the same time. Thanks again for taking care of everything for us at a difficult time."

"Had a great experience with this company! Estimate and scope of work was clear, the price was fair, and Bryce and Jose went above and beyond to reroute my dryer vent inside of an interior wall and away from the waterproofing area! Definitely would recommend"

"Florida has underground aquaducts and my mother-in-law had a similar service done on her property years prior (different company). The process went very smoothly and we feel we got a great price, since a neighbor who had had the same job done for him by someone else felt that we got a very good deal."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.

Proper basement ventilation is very effective at reducing humidity. Without enough ventilation, your basement is prone to mold and moisture damage. Your basement should have as much natural ventilation via windows and doors as possible, and if your budget allows, you should also consider installing an ERV system to keep basement humidity levels at bay.

Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.

The primary downside to crawl space encapsulation is the high cost, which can be several thousand dollars. Additionally, the process can make future repairs more complicated by limiting access to plumbing and electrical wiring within the crawl space. Encapsulation also requires sealing off any vents, which can be a disadvantage for home designs that benefit from the airflow they provide. It's recommended to consult with a crawl space contractor to determine if the benefits outweigh these potential drawbacks for your specific home.
