"Anchored Walls made it easy to get the work completed. Estimate was done quickly and professionally. I spoke with 2 other companies who were impossible to chase down for estimates. Anchored Walls always answered their phones and made the entire process stress free. Would recommend and use again, need be.

"Excellent service. Courteous and did a good job covering everything with plastic and cleaning up. They answered all of my questions and were always on time. They worked every day and did it in the time they said they would (one week). They came back after the ground dried to bury and sump pump line outside. The true test was all the rain we had this spring and my basement stayed dry!

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

The foundation repair that will work best varies based on the extent of the damage, the underlying cause, soil conditions, weather conditions, and more. Permanent foundation solutions like underpinning and exterior drainage solutions are better than temporary fixes that don’t address the source of the issue. Some examples of more temporary solutions include mudjacking or slabjacking, waterproof paint, and dampproofing. The best course of action is to have a reliable foundation specialist inspect your issue, treat the underlying problem, and restabilize your foundation.

Access to commercial-grade products and equipment, ensuring thorough coverage and long-lasting protection.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

Proper drainage prevents water damage, mold growth, and foundation settling, protecting your home’s structural integrity.
