"David crawled into our crawl spaces, inspected our waterproofing system, did testing and maintenance on all three sump pumps and left us in great shape for spring rains. Exactly as promised and great value."

"From start to finish Luke did a fantastic job with our project. We needed our driveway apron raised so it would be level with our garage and needed several voids filled in to prevent further water damage. I called on a Friday and Luke drove out to us on the following Tuesday to give us a quote. He took the time to explain his approach to the project, estimated cost, and even provided us with a free tube of caulk (even though we hadn’t committed to his services yet). He was friendly and professional and did a great job for a very reasonable price. We would definitely use Slab Boss services again and recommend them to anyone who needs a polyfoam lift or void filling."

"Sam and a colleague did all the work.  They were on time, very professional and did fantastic work.  I really appreciated how they brought me into the loop before they moved forward with each part of the project.  All in all, I was very happy with their work and I am considering them as a front runner to finish my basement later this year."

"Initially I was skeptical as the contractor was headquartered almost 100 miles but I figured if he was willing to come this far or give me a bid it was worth consideration. Turned out very well. Chris gave me a no nonsense bottom line bid in about 10 minutes time vs an hour or longer of salesmanship from other bidders. Ultimately Chris’s bid was by far the least expensive for similar materials and product. He is a one man show and his son helps him out on weekends. I would highly recommend him."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.

As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it’s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you’ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.

Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.

“Basement waterproofing” sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.

Crawl spaces are the more desirable option overall because they provide additional space for storage and utilities, but they are more expensive to install and maintain. Slab foundations are considered a better option in warmer climates where the depth of the frost line isn’t an issue because they’re more affordable, but crawl spaces are better in areas where the frost line is deep or where flooding can be an issue.
