"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

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.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.
