"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."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold by blocking moisture and reducing humidity. If the vapor barrier is properly installed, it significantly reduces the chance of mold developing within the crawl space. However, mold can sometimes grow behind the encapsulation material, but it will be sealed away from the main area. Additionally, moisture can still condense inside the encapsulated space, so if you notice excess humidity, installing a dehumidifier is recommended to prevent mold and mildew growth.

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.

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.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

You should always hire a structural engineer or a professional and licensed foundation repair company for crawl space repair. These professionals will often be able to treat the symptoms of the issue as well as the underlying problem so that you don’t have ongoing damage. They’ll also often take preventative measures to stop the issue from recurring in the future.
