"Overall, it was a good experience. AAA put down a vapor barrier and installed a Santa Fe dehumidifier with sump pump. The result is that we can now use the stand-up basement/crawlspace to store things under the house without ruining them. This is the part that you need to know. The installation was not without problems. First, they broke an A/C drain pipe, second, they cut a sprinkler controller wire while running a PVC pipe. Here's my take, accidents happen but how does the business respond to these issues? Well, Donna was very quick to send her team out to correct the problems and they even paid for the damage to the sprinkler system. To me, that's top notch customer service. Any business can make a mistake, but how they handle it is the mark of a good company. Every time I lift the roll door and go into the basement now, I'm amazed at how cool and fresh the air is down there. No more mildew and no more smell."
In Savannah, we were having a wet fall and winter and were experiencing moisture problems in our house. Our dehumidifier could not keep up with the problem. My wife smelled a musty smell which she thought was mildew. When we first contacted crawlspacedoctor.com, they set up a consultation for us that same week. Greg McBride came out and went over all the problems he found as well as solutions he recommended that would solve the problems.
He gave us an estimate of time & costs and said it would be 3 weeks before he could get a crew to us. However, since my wife was having allergic reactions to the moisture & mildew smells, she had to move out of the house until the job was completed. So Greg rearranged his schedule and was able to get a crew to our house within a week. They showed up as promised on a Monday morning and worked full days until the job was done that Friday.
They removed the existing plastic liner which was not doing its job. They cleaned out debris, hung wires and graded the dirt in the crawl space. Then they blocked off the open foundation areas with 2 inch foam board, sealing in each board with 2/2 pressure treated wooden slats. Then they sealed each board with closed cell foam.
They also cleaned up the floor joist using full sanding & microban antimicrobial to help fully sanitize the floor joist. Then they installed 15 mill white heavy duty liner, completely sealing up the house from the crawl space with each seam taped and all walls and columns sealed.
Then they installed 2 new crawl space doors using pressure treated lumber and galvanized handles and latches. The final crawl space ended up looking like a finished basement and will be ventilated by a heat duct line that we will install to keep moisture out. The "after" pictures on their website reflect our finished product too.
We were very happy with the quality of the workmanship and the professionalism of Greg and his crew. We would highly recommend them to anyone who has moisture problems in their crawl space. The work carries a 20 year warranty on the liner and labor and Greg guaranteed the musty smells we were experiencing would be eliminated. And they were. The house now smells great and all allergy problems have disappeared.
"The foundation of an old house I purchased had extensive wood rot due to water and termite damage. I was referred to "Floors Sag or Shake" by my Structural Engineer. The owners, Charles Rhoden and his business partner Eddie Ivester, came to my house to give me a quote. I received a written estimate via e-mail. I accepted the contract. Payment is 1/2 upfront and 1/2 when job is complete. Throughout the project, the team was always prompt, worked incredibly hard, used quality materials, cleaned up daily and kept me updated on the progress. Eddie was on-site every day. Everyone on his crew was skilled and knew what to do. Because my house is very old (built 1938), we found several "surprises" behind the walls. I decided to increase the scope of the work. The additional costs were very reasonable. I never felt pressured. "Floors Sag & Shake" coordinated with both Trotter Waterproofing and Terminix, to ensure all of the Foundation repairs and improvements would accomplish my goals. Everything was completed on-time. They exceeded my expectations. Charles Rhoden 404-372-9431 Eddie Ivester 404-852-7546 "

"He was very helpful. The issue with the vent was not that it was dirty but, the cent is too long. He came over and went under the house and in the basement to figure out the problem. He let us know we should cut an access panel in the deck to make sure the vent is clean and set up properly."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement.
Some of the most common cost factors include:
Location
Square footage
Cause of the water leak
Type of foundation
Accessibility
Waterproofing method
Materials
Contractor experience and availability
Engineering reports, if needed
Structural and other repairs
Permits
Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation.
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.
Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.
Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.
