"I had 4 companies come out, 2 of them stating I needed a sump pump without even looking outside, or listening to other solutions I had from from other contractors. I HIGHLIGHLY recommend Mastercraft Waterproofing They told me that I absolutely did NOT need a sump pump and it was an issue with the sealing on the outside of the chimney. Water was coming through one of the seams. This was the only company who looked inside and outside on my property. Their work has a lifetime guarantee for what I had done, and saved me $1,000. Tom and Rob are the owners and came out for the quote, and were the ones who did the work. Personable, professional, reliable and cannot recommend them enough. They sent a follow up email for additional recommendations long term, with pictures of the project from start to finish. Please call them if you have water in your basement instead of these large companies who will tell you that you have a huge pool of water surrounding your house. Mastercraft Waterproofing does it all and will be able to help!"

"They advice, and had all our questions answered on sensible and affordable options. Very knowledgeable, prompt, polite, efficient, and thorough team! We are happy with their waterproofing services in our basement (fast sump pump and a grate trench with a discharge line that goes 15 feet to the outside bubbler) as well as crawl space shield installed under our addition. It works well, and Pioneer checked a month later and a year after for inspection and cleaning. A+ work and workers."

"Rick was reasonably priced and did a great job in repairing the crack and leak in my basement foundation wall. He showed on time, was personable, and completed the job in 2 hours, as promised. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of this kind of foundation repair."

"Amed and Antonio did a wonderful job installing the pump system. What was going to be done was explained and I could observe if I wanted to. Steve who accessed the job was excellent. I was very happy with Dryzone and would gladly use them again if needed."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In perfect conditions—meaning, no overexposure to the elements without roofing material on top of it—an ice and water shield can last for decades. In fact, many come with a limited lifetime warranty because they should last for a long time. If, however, the membrane is exposed to the elements during building or if there is a delay in installing the roofing material, it might only last up to 180 days if exposed to the elements. The key is to make it a layer of protection and then protect that layer by installing the roofing.

If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:

  • Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.

  • Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.

  • Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.

  • Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.

To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.

Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.

Crawl spaces are the more desirable option overall because they provide additional space for storage and utilities, but they are more expensive to install and maintain. Slab foundations are considered a better option in warmer climates where the depth of the frost line isn’t an issue because they’re more affordable, but crawl spaces are better in areas where the frost line is deep or where flooding can be an issue.

One handy thing about whole-house dehumidifiers is, once installed, you don’t have to worry about placement or changing the dehumidifier’s position. But if you are using a portable dehumidifier, we suggest keeping it away from walls, vents, and furniture. It needs a central, unobstructed spot with access to lots of air to do its job.
