"We had 4 basement waterproofing companies come into our home to do an assessment of our basement. We are updating our home and finishing our basement. Although we only had occasional and minor water leaks we wanted to protect our investment. Our time with Mike, Jason, and the rest of the team was professional and informative from the first moment. They were responsive with our estimate, fair with their pricing, and willing to answer our questions along the way. The crew arrived on time and ready to get the project started. We had a couple of large items that we needed help moving and they assisted so that we could keep the basement clean. The work that was performed was done so with care. The basement was kept as clean as possible, and our input was taken into consideration along the way. Hands down thankful for the experience and piece of mind that we now have."

"This business was professional, communicative, and on time from my initial inquiry to when the job was performed. When I initially called, they were able to get someone out to provide a quote within 2 weeks and had me booked within another couple weeks. I was provided a quote online, and that's what I ended up paying. No fine print. Everything was completely transparent. William and another person came to do the actual sump pump installation. They were on time and finished a rather challenging installation (the pipe exit needed to be in a different room than the actual pump) within 4 hours or so. He explained everything to me clearly and was friendly, courteous, and professional. I would absolutely recommend these guys if you're looking for any kind of basement repair/waterproofing."

"We hired Leal Restoration to clean up water damage on three floors of our house. They came early on a Saturday morning, worked all weekend and finished the job on Monday. This included drying out the area, removing debris, and replacing a ceiling. The work was done efficiently and carefully. Leal turned a disaster area into a clean and back to normal living space in 3 days. Amazing!"

"Khaled and his team were outstanding. The attention to detail, the quality of the workmanship and Khaled's attention to my questions and concerns during the project were all top notch. As with any project this size (mine was an entire basement remodel approximately 800sqft that included some minor demo), there were some complications, but the measure of any situation is how the stakeholders address it and there too, Khaled proved that he is made of superior customer service mettle. He got in front of the problems we were facing and addressed them methodically and kept me apprised as needed. He has a marvelous crew and they are all quite fun and knowledgeable. I absolutely love my finished basement. The walls and the painting job alone makes it worthwhile, and that was just the finish work! Fantastic! Strongly recommend Abalia for all your construction and remodeling needs."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Anything having to do with the structure of your home, such as raising the ceiling, is usually the most expensive part of finishing a basement. Another project component that could be a surprisingly high expense is adding an exterior entrance. 

The cost of a walkout basement can be anywhere from $5,000 to $35,000.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. 

Yes, you can technically make a crawl space liveable, but the only way to do so is by converting it into a basement. While some crawl spaces are big enough to walk through and store large items, they lack appropriate insulation and space to be liveable.

Most houses will have vents in the crawl space. This allows for air passage and energy retention, which in many ways can help control the temperature inside the home. If you are able to consider the cost of a crawl space encapsulation, you may not need your crawl space vents at all.
