"Our sewer service between the city and the house failed due to poor materials when the house was built in '95. Once it was all exposed, it was easy to see what a poor system a less caring plumber had installed. Vince and company replaced it all quickly and easily with the proper materials. We use Vince exclusively for all of our plumbing needs."

"We’ve had such a great experience every time we’ve used this plumber. Most recently, I called to have new faucets installed and he was able to come out the same day, did a great job, and left everything clean. He’s also installed shower faucets for us and fixed a toilet in the past, and every time the work has been done right and stress-free. He’s reliable, professional, and very reasonably priced. We’ve been happy every single time and will definitely keep using him and recommending him."

"Our sump pump quit working and we had a minor flood in our basement. Mountain Edge Plumbing came the same day and replaced the pump and made sure it was up and running consistently before they left. They were courteous and professional. We really appreciated their expertise and that they could even come the same day. Highly recommend!"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

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.

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

Regular inspections, proper drainage management, and ensuring soil stability help prevent future settlement issues.

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.

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.
