"Our project was originally to start on November 13th and take 3-4 weeks. Due to 4 days of rain and other projects he had to finish, it was started later than planned. On the second day, Jamie texted to say someone’s car broke down on the way to our house and they’d be late. Later in the afternoon, we were advised the vehicle was in the shop so the crew couldn’t come. (There were 4 vehicles here the day before so we weren’t sure why one in the shop took the whole crew out.) They resumed work the following week. He asked in the beginning if we had any particular concerns and we said yes, two. One, our grandchildren, 2 of whom are toddlers, are here often so care would need to be taken to keep nails and hazardous garbage picked up when they leave for the day. Two, they would need to keep the gate to the pool closed and either cover the pool or be careful in that area. Most days, we walked outside to find the gate left open and nails and pieces/slivers of wood, paint chips and other garbage littering the yard and deck. We went out one day after they left and realized they had been using the pool deck to cut the material for the facia, siding and trim. On these days, the pool was littered with sawdust. We were past Thanksgiving and heading into Christmas and no end in sight. The gutters had yet to be done weeks after the painting was finished. We were wondering if this job was more involved than this company typically handles or if a good project manager was needed. We had to remind him of the same things multiple times because nothing was written down. There is paint on the front porch rails, paint on the pool deck and on the outside of the screened porch. There’s overspray everywhere. We did have a walkthrough, and they did take care of the things we pointed out. At the same time, as the months have passed, we continue to find areas that need touch up. We will need to purchase paint and must touch things up ourselves. The biggest problem we had ended up being with the way the drip edge along the roof line was handled. Four months prior (in August) we had our roof replaced including new drip edge. We were assured that when replacing the facia that the drip edge would be fine. If there were spots that needed to be touched up, they would handle it. By the time the work was done, the drip edge was in bad condition with warps and bends to the point that we insisted it be replaced. At first, Encompass pushed back stating that the drip edge had been installed incorrectly. However, the the roof and drip edge were installed correctly by a professional roofer but damaged during the facia replacement. Encompass did consult with a roofer who told them that there should be no problem replacing the drip edge, so they proceeded to do so. Their work in replacing the original drip edge was better than they way they originally left it, but it was far from the condition it was after our roof was replaced. One of the reasons the drip edge was so important to us is that we just had bats removed from the attic and wanted to have the drip edge prevent that from happening again. In addition, after spending over $58,000 on our house, we weren’t happy with the finish of the drip edge. Since then, we’ve started getting estimates on what it would cost us to have the drip edge properly replaced. So far, we’ve received an estimate of $19,000 for the work. Because there is so much of it that has been damaged, it would cost more to cut and replace only the damaged parts and leave the few places that are not damaged than to replace all of it. We are also seeing wasps go under the drip edge, which was not happening prior to the work Encompass performed. After spending over $58,000 on the work, we are extremely unhappy to be looking at numbers this large to ultimately finish the work."

Every home owner views basement flooding as your biggest nightmare. In the end, you should perform a large amount of cleaning, draining, basement waterproofing as well as salvaging of things following a flood entering your house. Now, you should observe that the very first two days following the flood is vital. You need to act promptly following a basement flooding simply because not doing this can further the damage caused to your property as well as belongings. Also, extending the flooded basements cleanup may even result in safety and health hazards for that home's occupants.
"Great job. The problem is solved."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Buford, GA
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
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.
