"Charlie and his team did a great job. We had a basement leak every rain storm which was caused by the original builder dumping excess cement next to our foundation. I would use them again especially if one of those franchise basement companies is pushing 30-40k whole basement solutions that could be unnecessary. We are at 11 mo since the job and still dry!"

"Russ did an exceptional job dealing with waterproofing issues at our home in Troy. He was prompt, responsive and professional. More importantly, he dealt specifically with the actual problem, as opposed to competitors who were determined to offer extraordinarily costly and unnecessary drainage systems, which were absolute overkill to the actual problem. If I have an issue again, I'm calling Russ. He consistently had a thoughtful response to what I was seeing."

"I was very impressed with their rep Steve Fitch. His explanations of the insulation process were clear and concise. I did not feel like I was being sold something but rather investing in a service that would benefit my family’s comfort year round, reduce energy costs and help the environment. After doing extensor research on contractors and what to expect, Steve checked all the boxes. I also appreciated the fact that he did not disparage his competition, or any of their methods or products. He professionally evaluated our home, determined the best solution he could provide and as previously stated presented a clear and concise plan and was awarded the contract. Mike Bobinski"

"We had a great experience with Omega Construction. Al and his team installed two skylights in our closet. They did a thorough job from purchasing skylights to finishing drywall and painting to match our ceiling. The crew were always on time. They kept us updated on the progress/scheduling and cleaned up after they finished the work. We highly recommend their work and service. Will definitely use them again for other projects."

"West Water were ready to begin the contract with only one business day of notice. Very convenient. The contractor arrived on time. They estimated the work would take two days. One to dig and replace line in my back yard and one to dig and replace the connecting line in the alley. On day two they discovered the line was buried deeper than the machine on hand could dig. This resulted in an extra day of work at no additional cost to me, while contractor called in a machine capable of finishing the work. Work was completed without any further complications. Contractor ensured that none of the sewer line was exposed. Dirt was returned on top of where it was excavated. They accepted a personal check for the estimated cost . This contract went very well for me. I will contact West Water again if I require further related work."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.

It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.

While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.

Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.

You should always hire a structural engineer or a professional and licensed foundation repair company for crawl space repair. These professionals will often be able to treat the symptoms of the issue as well as the underlying problem so that you don’t have ongoing damage. They’ll also often take preventative measures to stop the issue from recurring in the future.
