"It was late at night when we realized our water heater blew and flooded our basement like a swimming pool. We had to find a plumber and fast. we came across SWB he was out here within 30 minutes from our call the job he did was impeccable. He went above and beyond he went and got us a new water heater, installed it, and then stuck around to help us clean up, Since then we’ve used him for several other projects. Every time the professionalism came with him I would highly recommend him 100%."

"I bought a fixer upper a couple months back with a leaky basement and moldy smell. After receiving a quote from a competitor that left me feeling a little uneasy. I contacted Rob based on the stunning reviews found on HomeAdvisor. After reading reviews one after the other about how happy people were, I wanted his opinion and expertise regarding my situation. Rob responded immediately, and came by my house the following Saturday morning even though he was going away for the weekend with his wife to celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary. He didn't want me to have to wait a week before he would have a chance to swing by. He was not only prompt, but he took the time to explain the process as well as discuss some other things I have going on in my house. His knowledge is astounding in all areas of building and remodeling. Rob assured me that the "smell" in my basement would no longer be an issue, nor would the water. He arrived with his 3 boys to do the job and I must say watching all them work together and interact with each other the way they did spoke volumes to me. A family doesn't get that way by accident...that just tells you the type of character that Rob has, and the kind of person that his wife must be. Real genuine honest good people and I couldn't be more pleased with the job. His price was definitely fair and I no longer have any smell or water in my basement, whatsoever! I would highly recommend Rob and his crew for any job that you need done. He and his boys have the integrity that lack in so many larger companies today and I look forward to more projects in the Springtime."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to reseal the foundation every five to 10 years, depending on the sealant you’ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.

Plan on cleaning your crawl space at least once a year, though twice a year is ideal. During the cleaning, remove any debris or dust and check for potential issues like pest infestations or water damage. The sooner you catch these issues, the easier (and cheaper) it will be to fix them.

Proper drainage is the only way to ensure that your crawl space stays dry. Depending on your property and the extent of your issue, you might need to consider a gutter system, a French drain, or sump pumps to avoid and handle water and moisture under your home. Dehumidifiers can also help to prevent moisture from accumulating if you have a high-humidity environment.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

The foundation repair that will work best varies based on the extent of the damage, the underlying cause, soil conditions, weather conditions, and more. Permanent foundation solutions like underpinning and exterior drainage solutions are better than temporary fixes that don’t address the source of the issue. Some examples of more temporary solutions include mudjacking or slabjacking, waterproof paint, and dampproofing. The best course of action is to have a reliable foundation specialist inspect your issue, treat the underlying problem, and restabilize your foundation.
