"Zach, Dustin & Robert are consummate professionals! Zach did the initial evaluation of our crawl space, foundation, and framing and developed a solution to remedy the deficiencies. Outstanding job! Dustin and Robert implemented the solutions and in the process they identified an additional hidden issue in our floor joist. The plumber had cut away about half of a girder under a load bearing wall during construction. Needless to say Dustin and Robert developed a solution, implemented it, and literally saved our house from a catastrophic failure. These three men are an exceptional team. Their customer service skills are absolutely beyond reproach! According, they have my highest recommendation for any foundation, waterproofing or house leveling issues anyone may have!!! Great job men!!!"

"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 "
"Alpha Omega Waterproofing company did an excellent job on my siding. They removed a large area of the old cedar siding with the Hardie Cement Boards. Also, replaced some of the fascia boards and trimming. Johel and his team were very detailed in their work. They showed up on time and worked long hours and they did great job with their clean-up. I would highly recommend them to other friends."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.
If you set up a dehumidifier, it will usually dry out your wet crawl space within 12 to 24 hours. Once the space is dry, it’s a good idea to take preventative measures to keep it dry. These include installing a French drain or other exterior foundation drainage system, installing a sump pump in the crawl space, and installing a vapor barrier in addition to leaving the dehumidifier running.
A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.
The process might take a few days to a week, depending on the method chosen, area size, and weather conditions. Some solutions, like simple interior sealants, may require less time.
No, you don’t want your crawl space to be wet because water and even moisture in the air under your home can attract insects and rodents, decrease your indoor air quality, increase your energy bills, promote mold growth, and even lead to structural damage. If you notice any signs of water or humidity in your crawl space, you should get the issues addressed immediately by contacting a professional. They can remove moisture and will know how to waterproof your basement to prevent ongoing problems.
