"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."

"Kory was very responsive, honest, and knowledgeable. His was the lowest by far of the three estimates I received for insulating the top floor in our 1 1/2 story house. He offered a veteran's discount because of my husband's service in the navy. He also completed the testing and paperwork needed for us to get a significant rebate from our natural gas provider. We were able to schedule the work within a week of his coming out for an an estimate. The only criticism I have is that the blow-in insulation is pretty messy and, in spite of Kory's earnest efforts to clean up, I did end up needing to vacuum again, dust, and brush bits of insulation off the clothes in our closet. Perhaps covering things with a drop cloth would help. I also hired Kory to do a mold remediation project in a small unfinished workroom in our basement."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

To ensure your basement walls are waterproof, it's crucial to address any existing moisture issues before finishing. Inspect for signs of water seepage, such as dampness or discoloration, and repair any leaks or cracks. Install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls, and consider waterproofing paints or coatings.

Proper drainage systems, such as interior or exterior waterproofing, can also be beneficial.

No, your basement dehumidifier doesn’t need to be on 24/7. While it’s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.

A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It’s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.
