"Our experience with this company has been great! We have used their services in the past and was very, very pleased with the work they did for us. Because we were so satisfied with their services, we reached out to them once again to take care of our exterior waterproofing and termite problem. As always, their professionalism is above par. They solved our issues in a timely, thorough and affordable manner. I highly recommend their services to others."
"Ryan and Matt did an amazing job of concrete lifting of my driveway. They were very professional, friendly, and respectful. I'm glad I chose Alpha Foundations for my job."
"I had fascia damage where the sloped roof met the flat roof. They repaired both the damage and repaired the roofs. They showed up as promised on time. They are very careful about cleaning up cleaning both during and after the 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."
"I had a blockage in my main drain which was causing waste (poop!) to backup into a shower. I called Tampa Bay Plumbers and they dispatched a service technician within 2-3 hours. Michael, the tech, arrived and evaluated the situation. He used an electric drain auger to try to clear the blockage but the auger was not robust enough to do the job. He called another technician, Matt, and even though Matt had already clocked out for the day, he came over to give Michael a hand. Matt had a better electric auger and like Michael earlier, dragged the auger onto the rooftop to access a plumbing vent in order to try to clear the blockage. They were able to send the auger down the entire length of the drain and clear out scale deposits that were the main cause of the blockage. They then used a camera and examined the entire drain all the way to the septic tank to ensure the line was completely clear. These guys were here for about 3-4 hours until around 8:00 PM and they persevered to ensure my drainage issue was resolved before they left. And to top it off, Michael cleaned/disinfected the nastiness from the shower and the toilet and he also cleaned/disinfected every doorknob they touched in the process of the repair. I cannot recommend Tampa Bay Plumbers strongly enough. This is the third time I have used their services over the last 4 years and I could not be happier with the quality of service and professionalism of the staff and technicians. If you have a plumbing or septic issue call Tampa Bay Plumbers! You will not be disappointed!"
"The experience was amazing,, the crew was very professional , finished sooner than expected and priced right… my yard is now the envy of my neighborhood They did an outstanding job."
"The new water heater had a malfunction and flooded the house. They quickly responded and also had the guys that dry out the house was there shortly after that. Without hesitation they paid for a hotel for me and is paying to redo the floors. Anytime I call the owner, that’s who I’m dealing with, he answers. This company is very honest and professional. A lot of companies would go as far as this company has. We also have used then in the past and was very happy then."
"The floodingThe flooding was found in timely manner. The repair was found to be the responsibility of the tenant.. The landlord paid for the initial charges and will seek reimbursement from the tenant."
"George came promptly and professionally assessed our situation. He tested for drain issues, provided guidance to maintain, and helped us avoid large fees with highly professional consultation. I will hire him for more work and recommend this company."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.
Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.
Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.
Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.
Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.
