"John and Miles were excellent workers. They were very polite and professional. The job they did supporting my sagging basement wall looks like it should take care of the problem. They placed steel plates against the basement wall, and also buried other ones out in the yard, and connected them with steel rods. Then they torqued them, which should prevent any further sagging of the wall."

"Crew worked very fast, completed our project in 1.5 days. System has worked well throughout the last 9 months including very heavy rainfall days. Our basement is dry, and we can go out of town without having to check the weather forecast to see whether I must stay home instead and dry-vac the basement."

"They are great to work with. Communication was superior. They stand by their work. A few years ago I had waterproofing done in my basement and this time they spray foamed the cavities of the basement too. Both times they did awesome work and cleaned up too! I highly recommend this company!"

"We initially hired Bluebird to waterproof and encapsulate our crawlspace. They did a great job and so we hired them again to repair some joists. Once again, the work was great. We did encounter an unexpected problem with an old sump line, but after sending an email to Bluebird, they were willing to come right out and fix the problem. I even spoke with the owner, Troy, and the way he handled the problem made me feel like a valued customer. There are always problems in home repair projects; the companies worth hiring are the ones who are quick to fix the problems. Bluebird is a company worth hiring."

"I started calling around to have a few jobs done around the house back in February of 2016. Most responses were to call after the snow melts. By April of 2016, everyone was booked up and didn't give me the time of day. Living out of state, I visited the house in late May and found it in worse shape than I thought and desperately needed a contractor to take over. After calling around, trying to get quotes from about ten contractors, only two responded that could do all I needed. These two, were able to meet me that day and got by quotes before I left town. After securing the funds needed, Andrew was the only one who could provide within my time frame. As soon as the work started, I got picture updates on the house and recommendations of improvement. His personal judgment was paramount in this job since I was states away. The house was complete with new siding, repairs to inside damage, painted interior, refinished hard wood floors, repaired fence, replaced storm doors, new outside lighting, repaired plumbing, electrical, resurfaced driveway and other small projects around the house. The house looks so good, I don't want to have to sell it! I like to see reviews that aren't so top quality, but I cannot say anything negative about Andrew and his crew. He understood my needs and limitations and was very flexible and honest. If I ever return to Manistee, he will be my go to for any further projects."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.

Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to water-damaged concrete.
