"I called Octagon the day after we had an upstairs water leak. The next day, Octagan had scheduled a technician to assess the damage and set up the mitigation solutions to dry out the damage before mold could set in. Everyone from Octagon was friendly, professional and very responsive. If you need a fast, reliable and effective response, you will find it with Octagon!"
"This project was supposed to be "phase one" of three projects that we hired NE Renovation to complete. On day one, the basement was prepped - all carpeting was covered and baseboard heating covers were removed. Sheetrock was supposed to be installed on the next day, but due to a serious injury to the sub-contractor, that was not done. Instead, demolition work began on what was supposed to be "phase two" of the project - the remodeling of a bathroom. We had not been expecting this change in schedule and to be fair, neither did anyone else. The basement project was put on hold until an alternate plan could be made. A few weeks later, work began again on the basement. The sheetrock was installed very well and in quick time. The plaster work was completed perfectly which was no small task given the length of the walls. Additionally, the paint job was done perfectly. The new six-panel doors, wall mounted television, upgraded lighting, and new baseboard heating covers helped complete the transition of the space from 1970 to 2012!
The value we received from this project has exceeded our expectations. We added a pool table and two sectional sofas to complete our new recreational space. It serves as a great "man cave" as well as a great place for family and friends to hang out. NE Renovations did a great job renovating our basement."
"I hired him for a home inspection, a radon air test, and a septic inspection. He arrived within 10 min of appointment time. His home inspection was very thorough and a comprehensive report provided in a timely manner. His radon air test was completed in the basement, rather than the lowest living area (stated that there was a laundry hookup in the basement so it had to do down there, despite a full laundry room on the second floor)"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Yes, professional installers use weather-resistant materials to protect the dish and cabling from environmental damage.
Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.
The primary downside to crawl space encapsulation is the high cost, which can be several thousand dollars. Additionally, the process can make future repairs more complicated by limiting access to plumbing and electrical wiring within the crawl space. Encapsulation also requires sealing off any vents, which can be a disadvantage for home designs that benefit from the airflow they provide. It's recommended to consult with a crawl space contractor to determine if the benefits outweigh these potential drawbacks for your specific home.
Water leakage through window openings is much more common in older homes, but it can also create issues with window frames that are improperly installed. If left unattended, water buildup can cause damage to surrounding fixtures, lead to harmful mold, and compromise the architectural integrity of your home. The potential damage that a water leak poses makes investing in weather- and water-proofing your window frames entirely worthwhile.
Yes, if your crawl space is prone to humidity, a dehumidifier can help keep it dry. For use in a crawl space, you’ll need a high-capacity and high-efficiency dehumidifier with built-in air filtration. It’s also wise to purchase one with a self-draining feature. Otherwise, you’ll need to climb into the crawl space to empty the dehumidifier.
