Q: How do I prevent foundation cracks?

• <div><p>The first step to preventing foundation cracks is to repair any current ones. When one crack forms, it becomes more likely that a second crack will follow. A few other tips include performing regular foundation checks, cleaning spouts and gutters, and installing exterior drains if needed. For those living in a hot and arid area, you should water your foundation every other day.</p></div>

Q: Should I be worried about water in my basement?

• <div><p>You should take care of any sign of water in your basement, whether it&rsquo;s dampness after heavy rain or puddles of water on the floor. Besides potentially causing a health hazard, the moisture can damage your home&rsquo;s structure and foundation. Furthermore, mold can grow quickly and spread throughout the rest of your home. With <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-mold-remediation-service-cost.htm">mold remediation costs</a> ranging between <b>$1,200 and $3,400</b>, it&rsquo;s best to avoid mold issues by fixing the leak.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent mold after water damage?

• <div><p>Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-steps-prevent-carpet-mold-after-water-damage.htm">mold growth after water damage</a> is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.</p></div>

Q: Is a crawl space encapsulation necessary?

• <div><p>A crawl space encapsulation isn&rsquo;t always necessary, but it&rsquo;s a wise choice, especially if you live in an area that sees a lot of precipitation. Sealing a crawl space not only reduces damage caused by moisture, mold, and pests, but it also increases your home&rsquo;s value. It can also save you money by reducing energy bills and avoiding costly repairs for structural or foundation damage.</p></div>

"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."

"Erie home made waterproofing our crawlspace so easy! We have now endured heavy spring rains and zero water has come in. We can see the sump pump sending water out just like it should! They also added storage space to our house because the encapsulation is so nice and clean! Well worth the money."

"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."
