"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 "
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
The primary downside to crawl space encapsulation is the high cost, which can be several thousand dollars. Additionally, the process can make future repairs more complicated by limiting access to plumbing and electrical wiring within the crawl space. Encapsulation also requires sealing off any vents, which can be a disadvantage for home designs that benefit from the airflow they provide. It's recommended to consult with a crawl space contractor to determine if the benefits outweigh these potential drawbacks for your specific home.
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.
Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.
Water that pools under pavers can erode the soil foundation and weaken the paver structure. In some situations, it can also cause mold and mildew growth. If that happens, you may need to start budgeting for the cost to build and install a patio to replace the damaged one.
Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.
