"We’ve had a lot of crews in our home for various projects over the years, and I have to say this was one of the most courteous. They worked hard, navigating through our kitchen to access the basement and I really appreciated their efforts. Thank you MTU, we now have safe walls in our cellar and fresh beams to keep the house standing ;)"

"These guys are on it! With a remote cabin at the far end of their service area on difficult terrain they were on the job within an hour, identified, consulted, and replaced a deteriorated pipe and had our Air BNB up and running in the same afternoon. I've used them multiple times and have yet to be disappointed! Don't waste your time shopping around. These guys are straight shooters."

"If you are looking for a truly exceptional construction company, look no further than Stone Fox Construction, and owner, Ryan Morris. Morris, (the name he likes to be referred to), and his team, (Tim, Elijah and Dennis), constructed a large retaining wall on my property in Hayden, ID. The retaining wall material was the Rosetta collection Grand Ledge and Kodah, which was fabricated and obtained from Kimber Precast located in Post Falls, ID. The retaining wall was over 200 lineal feet, and about 6' high at the highest point. Morris and his team did an absolutely phenomenal job installing the Grand Ledge and Kodah retaining walls. To describe the installation as extremely detailed and meticulous would almost seem understated. Stone Fox Construction left no stone, (pun intended), unturned in assuring the retaining wall was installed correctly. I would give Morris, and his team Tim, Elijah, and Dennis, (aka Stone Fox Construction), 10 stars if that were possible. Fantastic job!"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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 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.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.
