"Alpha Foundations in addition to adding pilars around the exterior and doing a great job, I inquired about concrete foaming. They immediately got me in contact with their concrete foam team Bradley and John. Bradley did a great job and took the time to explain everything to me. I asked how big will the size of the drill hole be and he said M&M size (plain M&M). I am thrilled I got this done and feel safe in my home. It was amazing how the foam raised the slab which raised the kitchen floor and no more gaps between the backsplash and counter."

"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."

"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

Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier—called crawl space encapsulation—on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.

Topical sealers adhere to the surface of concrete to create a protective layer. In many cases, this is all you need for concrete that sees light to moderate traffic, such as your basement. Penetrating sealers, on the other hand, bond with the free lime in the top layer of concrete to form calcium silicate, which prevents liquid from passing through. This type of sealer protects the surface from water, oil, and gasoline spills.

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.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

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.
