"If only Angi had a rating higher than a 5, Camardelle would certainly get it from me. Trey did an exceptional jon in diagnosing the crack found in a pipe attached to the Kitchen sink - and it wasn't found until after he spent several hours removing a pile of caked up grease that had backed up the piping for years now. As he diagnosed the issue, he explained everything to me in great detail - which was much appreciated. In addition to this, I hired Trey to repair my Hot Water Heater. The estimate received from hiom was by far the cheapest I've seen. That, coupled with the quality of work I witnessed on the drainage problem, makes me extremely happy I selected him to do these jobs. You cannot go wrong with Camardelle Services."

"Mike Saia returned our call within 3 minutes after we called on a Saturday morning. He and his son were at our house within an hour. Three hours later we had a new hot water heater and we’re up to code. The service was excellent and very professional. We highly recommend Saia for your plumbing needs. Danny and Judy Nodurft"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation. 

To maintain an outdoor structure, perform regular inspections for damage, leaks, and weak joints. Clean the structure regularly, treat or repaint wood surfaces for weather resistance, and reinforce any weak joints to prevent deterioration and ensure its longevity.

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.
