"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"
"Awesome company. Honest, fair and reliable. We were in a very difficult situation because we were out of town when this problem needed to be resolved and we had to rely on TJ with everything including coordinating with another contractor to get the work done within a very short time period. TJ made sure that everything worked out perfectly and updated me on every step of the process. This was a real relief and I had the feeling I could trust them from the first day on. I cannot thank him and everybody else there enough."

"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."
"Immediate response to calls - love it that someone answers phone not a recording ! Excellent quality and reasonable prices Highly recommend this company for all your handyman needs or insurance inspections "

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
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 purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold by blocking moisture and reducing humidity. If the vapor barrier is properly installed, it significantly reduces the chance of mold developing within the crawl space. However, mold can sometimes grow behind the encapsulation material, but it will be sealed away from the main area. Additionally, moisture can still condense inside the encapsulated space, so if you notice excess humidity, installing a dehumidifier is recommended to prevent mold and mildew growth.
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.
Foundation repair uses methods such as underpinning, slab jacking, or application of hydraulic piers. Each technique is chosen based on structural needs, soil conditions, and damage extent, ensuring a stable and secure foundation.
Water damage to concrete is often gradual and can take months, if not years, for a concrete structure to be fully destroyed. The process often starts with cracks on the surface, followed by sinking slabs and eventually crumbling cement. Therefore, it is important to repair minor damages early to prevent the situation from worsening.
