"Shore Up Foundation Repair LLC was recommended by Tallahassee Floor Finishing. Jake from Shore Up Foundation Repair showed up bright and early the day after I called. He assessed our situation, came up with a plan, a reasonable price and a schedule right at our kitchen table. One of the most satisfying aspects of working with Shore Up was their communication. Before the crew, Jadon, Devin and Wade, showed up, Jadon texted their arrival time. Any time there was a question or information that needed to be conveyed Jadon kept me informed as to what was happening and when it would happen. Jadon, Devin and Wade worked diligently to complete the job in one day. They discovered a small plumbing leak that I was able to get repaired by a plumber the next day. Jadon showed back up to make sure all was right with the situation. I highly recommend Shore Up Foundation Repair for any encapsulation or moisture problems in your home. They are prompt, friendly, competent and affordable."

"Over the top. If I could give 10 stars i would. Owner, Clint came right out within a couple days of my query, fast quote turn around. Team began work within a couple of weeks. Professional, polite, worked straight through without breaks, even during a tropical storm! Unbelievable workmanship and quality, went above and beyond the scope of work to install a backyard french drainage system, reconfigured sprinklers and downspouts, regraded the yard, professionally transplanted large bushes to make yard more appropriately graded then resodded and mulched the entire yard to make it healthier and more aeathetically appealing. I will absolutely call on them again if anything similar ever comes up. We have worked with many home pros in this area and they are top notch, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to have around the home. Thanks to Clint, Mark, John and Drea."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.

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.
