"Taylor, Eli, Alaina and Javi did excellent work encapsulating and waterproofing my basement. The membrane they installed not only protects my basement from water damage, the membrane makes the basement look a lot better. The work they did also protects my homes foundation from sinking. They were awesome."

"Frontier Basement Systems (Joelton, TN) was really fantastic to work with! The job had to be rescheduled multiple times due to my concern about the excessive rain causing the ingress/egress area in my yard to be too soft for the weight of the work truck, but Logan in the Production Dept. was extremely accommodating. Eric F. arrived promptly and was extremely courteous. He was thorough, making sure he had all the voids filled, and cleaned up well when the job was completed. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided by Frontier Basement Systems!"

"Wonderful communication, knowledgeable and experienced team. Ethan, Grant, and Jose are superb! I needed some crawlspace repair completed prior to the sale of my home, and these guys made the experience feel not so overwhelming. Ethan took quality photos of each item that was addressed, took time to explain the necessary steps in the process, and communicated promptly at each turn. Grant and Jose worked tirelessly cleaning out heavy debris left from the previous owner, completed the multi-day job, and even left useable materials neatly stacked upon request, Notably, even though operating as a single female, I felt secure with this team, didnâ t feel railroaded, and feel confident that this team was a good choice."

"We were a little skeptical when deciding who to choose to do our crawlspace because sealrite gave us a estimate that was far cheaper than what the other two companies we called quoted us at, but Austin came to do our inspection, communicated everything to us very clearly and gave us a one year warranty so we decided to go ahead and move forward, and im glad we did because he handled all of our mold problems, laid a vapor barrier over what was bare dirt ,and even hauled off all the debris the plumbers had previously left or ignored that we didn't even realize was down there. For the first time since we've owned the house you can actually go under the house to check the plumbing or air ducts without coming out caked in mud, spiderwebs , and mold. I highly recommend using sealrite!!"

"Great work, and excellent customer service. Everyone was polite. I had a driveway levelled, and a crawlspace encapsulation. Very satisfied with both jobs. Highly recommended."

Customers say: Quick response

"I did not know anyone affiliated with the company before they responded to my inquiries, nor did I know anyone who had used them. They provided a very competitive bid, and came to make a bid quickly, and agreed to do the work much more quickly than other bidders, which I needed to avoid another basement flooding, and to accomplish it before my impending surgery. They were very professional and responsive in drawing up a professional contract, the crew showed up on time and took good care of my property, and listened to my concerns and adapted to them. They finished the work before the concerning rains came, and had good ideas on how to enhance the design. Most importantly, it was done right as best as I can detect, and they sprung no surprises or fine print, and settled up on time and with the understood budget. I will use them again, and recommend them to other people."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.
