"I was impressed with his knowledge and professionalism. He installed a French drain system with a vapor barrier on the walls. He prepped the area to protect our belongings, made sure everything was cleaned up after the end of each day, and provided exceptional service and quality. I would highly recommend him!"

We bring something completely different to basement waterproofing and waterproofing in general. We are not the company to call if you have large amounts of water entering your foundation or basement. However, if your foundation is in somewhat decent shape and un-painted. We can stop the moisture from seeping through your walls and floor that cause stored items from being covered in mold and mildew and make your basement far healthier and a truly usable and dry space permanently.\nWith a one-time application using 100% green products that do not change the surface of your concrete surfaces. You can safely store items or furnish your basement and even install hardwood flooring with confidence. Our waterproofing works by using crystalline technology that enters your concrete going where the moisture goes deep into your concrete walls and floors. When moisture is present these crystals expand up to 16 times their size sealing the moisture out of your basement including cracks and joints.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The best ventilation for a crawl space is a fully encapsulated crawl space with its own separate ventilation system. If you go this route, ensure you have the proper crawl space code requirements done and dusted before encapsulating your crawl space with a moisture barrier and installing appliances that may not be up to the proper specs.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

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.

Unfortunately, mold can grow pretty much anywhere, on any kind of surface. However, you’re most likely to see it in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, as well as anywhere there has been a water leak. Consult a local mold specialist to determine if certain areas of your home are prone to mold based on climate and other factors.

You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.
