"Straightline did a great job. Cody was in touch and monitoring the progress frequently all three days. I did have one small concern but Cody immediately responded and resolved it. Rain caused a delay but they finished when promised just in time for the next rain/wind storm. It was nice not seeing shingles flying off the house for a change!! I had two previous layers so they had to strip it bare. I have a powerful magnet mounted on wheels. I ran it around the house and found ONE nail in the grass!! That's impressive!!"

"Our hot water heater quit running Sunday morning. We got on Angie's list and put out an sos. Vince with Marathon plumbing answered us quickly and came out to our house within the hour. And we had hot running water by 12:30 p.m. they've installed an overflow relief valve to our floor drain in our basement. The work was done quickly and with good quality. And disposed of our old one. Thank you, Vince."

"Well. 1st plumber who looked at the system said shower valves needed to be replaced but that was a problem because there are no access panels. Chaub plummer advised valves were good quality and there was no need to replace. He replaced/installed new hardware and did a great job in a timely manner."

"I had a major drain blockage that was backing up into my home, and Mountain Edge Plumbing came to the rescue! They were quick to respond, professional, and clearly knew what they were doing. They explained the issue, cleared the clog efficiently, and even gave me tips to help prevent it from happening again. Everything is flowing perfectly now. Highly recommend them for any plumbing issues—top-notch service from start to finish!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In most cases, it is safe to live in a home with minor foundation problems, but you should not let the issues persist. Virtually all foundations have small cracks from normal settlement, which are not a structural concern but should be sealed to prevent water intrusion. However, major damage—such as large structural cracks, sinking foundations, or bulging walls—can make a home unsafe. Other issues that can pose safety and health risks include poor indoor air quality from mold or pests, uneven floors, and rotten beams or joists. It is always best to have a foundation repair expert or structural engineer inspect any issues to determine if your home is safe to live in.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

Interlocking garage tiles made with PVC are the most effective for garages with past issues of humidity and flooding because damp concrete is not suitable for paint. Epoxy coating is also water-resistant and can prevent mold buildup. Finally, porcelain tiles are a wonderful option for wet conditions if your budget allows.

In most climates, contractors recommend closing your crawl space vents in winter. Keeping them shut protects your crawl space from freezing temperatures, pests, and cool breezes that can lead to chilly floors in your home. However, it's often best to speak with a local crawl space team about your specific design and its relationship to the winter season.

A sump pump can remove excess moisture from under a house if standing water is present. Other ways to protect your crawl space from moisture include installing a vapor barrier, using a dehumidifier, installing insulation, and using a fan to dry the space. Finally, keeping your gutters clear of debris and positioning your downspouts away from the home’s foundation can prevent moisture from getting into the crawl space in the first place.
