"Dex came out and did a thorough inspection of the house, showed me the options and quoted me a good price. Mike and his assistant showed up on the scheduled day bright and early and knocked out 7 piers in just over 3 days. The main wall they were working on had all the utilities and the guys didn't disturb a thing. When they were done, they cleaned up everything and left the yard in amazingly good shape considering all the big holes they had to dig. Lux was not only very competent and professional, but they were genuinely very nice people. I highly recommend Lux for all your foundation needs."

"KNS roofing responded to my call in one day. I own a two-story house with a complex roof. Within minutes, KNS knew what the problem was and immediately repaired the roof and stopped the leak. This was important because I was installing a new living room ceiling. The materials they used were modern and top-notch. They have more than thirty years of experience and it showed. They are friendly, professional, and wanted to solve my problem. I have used them twice and I have been satisfied both times. I highly recommend this roofing company."

"Took multiple attempts to get the repair to blend with existing ceiling. Steve stuck with it and now it blends adequately. The white paint matches unless it is a very bright day, you have a very critical eye, and know where to look."

"I contacted the provided on Friday after finding them on Angie's List. I have a house on the market and j have neglected the yard work. I have several showings lined up for this weekend and needed the yard mowed, edged, the driveway blown off, the flower beds weeded (they were completely overgrown), the gutters cleaned, and some trees trimmed back that were growing on the roof. They came out same day and provided me an estimate. We negotiated back and forth until we agreed on a price. They came back out the following morning and completed all the work in time before the first showing came. They did a great job and I will definitely use them in the future.

"Once we hired this company our experience with him was good. He was on time and he did the work we requested. A few days after installation we noticed that the was a gap and the water was once again pooling in our garden beds pushing out our mulch which is why we decided to purchase gutters anyway. We spoke to him and explained the issue, he gave us a day he'd come by to fix the issue. He never showed up and he will not respond to our calls or text. It is very disappointing and unprofessional that he is not following up on his work. It was a little more then a week when we noticed the issue. I'm concerned about the issues we will in the future. At this point I would NOT recommend him to anyone due to his lack of following up to assure his customer is satisfied with the work."

"1000% Perfection!!!!! whole house re piped Let me start out by saying I am not easily impressed. My husband and I were without water in our newly bought home for a week, after calling several companies we were let down and left again without any running water to our home. I happened to do another search for a plumbing company and expected the same let down but, Duck Duck Rooter came through. Sean, came down, did a assessment and explained to me every detail that was needed and that would take place. Sean, assembled a team which was Mike & Enoch and we could not have asked for a better team. They went above and beyond, extremely knowledgeable, polite and respectful. Mike & Enoch, took extreme care not to let my beloved cats out while going in and out, they kept their work areas clean and made sure not to destroy or make a mess of my house. Mike & Enoch, treated me and my home with respect which I appreciate more than anything. They are welcomed at our house anytime when they are in t"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

Preventing future basement flooding often involves installing sump pumps, improving drainage, sealing foundation cracks, and maintaining gutters. Costs vary, but preventive measures can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the solutions chosen. Investing in prevention can save you money on future flooded basement cleanup costs and repairs.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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 can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
