"New flooring, cabinets and painting went without a hitch. The guys from Orca were timely and professional. 1600 square feet of their rubberized spray on waterproofing fixed all of the small drips and leaks. I recommend them highly. Thanks Jack for everything."

"Amazing from start to finish! We had a large hole in the exterior wall from an old AC unit. Estimates and scheduling were super easy. The two man crew that did the work were friendly, knowledgeable and kept me updated through the process. The brick lines they did were top notch. It’s completely seamless with the existing brick work. They cleaned up well and even closed up the back gates when they left. I would hire them again for any work in the future."

"Extreme Maintenance was one of three companies I contacted for solution and quote for a drainage problem and washout between our house and next door neighbor’s. Michael called me back same day and came by the next day to look at the area and provided a sensible solution as well as a verbal quote. He even cleared and redirected a malfunctioning sprinkler head while here! The written quote came via email that evening. After two other companies looked at the area and offered suggestions, I felt Michael had the best handle on a solution and accepted his quote. He called me back right away, then came by to finalize details and set date for job (one-day job), which was Monday of following week. Because of rain delays job was actually done on Thursday, but Michael kept me updated along the way. He and his team came by on Thursday and completed job same day. They cleared away old lava rock and old plastic sheeting beneath it. Then, they back-filled a 6’ x 4’ x 1’ washout beneath our neighbor’s sidewalk, hand dug an 80 ft. long trench, laid drainage tubing along the length of the trench to funnel water to the swale behind the houses. Then, they covered the drain tube with filter cloth and topped with rock and cleaned up the work area beautifully. He called me out a couple of times during their work to show me what was being done and explained why. After completion, we walked the whole area to be sure all was to my satisfaction. It was! Late Friday afternoon, we noticed that a stationary irrigation head that was right in the path of the workers had been broken during the work. I called Michel that evening and he returned my call Saturday morning to say he would be by on Tuesday morning to repair (he was out of town for the weekend). True to his word, he was there on Tuesday morning and made the repair. He also repaired another malfunctioning irrigation head (nothing to do with his team) while there and advised us that we should look into some other maintenance issues with the irrigation system before they caused some major problems. I am very pleased with the whole project, from start to finish. Michael was knowledgeable about a solution to our problem, offered a fair quote, completed the job beautifully and within reasonable time. He was great at keeping me informed of anything effecting the job and provided great advice/warning about potential problems with the irrigation system. For anyone who needs a maintenance/installation job done, I recommend Extreme Maintenance!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.

Proper drainage is the only way to ensure that your crawl space stays dry. Depending on your property and the extent of your issue, you might need to consider a gutter system, a French drain, or sump pumps to avoid and handle water and moisture under your home. Dehumidifiers can also help to prevent moisture from accumulating if you have a high-humidity environment.

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.

Crawl spaces are prone to issues caused by excess humidity and improper ventilation, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid buying a house with a crawl space. A home that is encapsulated and well-maintained shouldn’t have any more issues than a slab or basement home.

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
