"I had a wet basement that had been a problem in my home for years before purchase of my home. The placement of a Sump pump and floor drain tile appears to stop wet foundation walls and floor. The basement now has potential to be nice area of use and living for years ahead. The service is a expensive purchase for homeowner but it is a needed purchase for my home. The finishing job leaves the need with more work if your basement floor was rough from the years of water damage. They did stop any future water damage for my home and it is safe to spend more for more fine finishing. They completed what was contracted."

"In 2013 we started investigating the replacement of our water heater. It was 20 years old but it was not having problems (yet). We wanted to try to avoid having a hot water problem in the future so we started the replacement investigation process. I called several contractors and got competitive bids but decided to put it off until 2014. Late this winter (20140 ) I noticed water on top of the water heater with some dripping down the side so we knew our time with this water heater was about up. I called John at Northern Plumbing again. He remembered our conversation the previous year. He was near us, very straight forward, and he made me comfortable with his experience level and confidence in phone conversations. He answered all my questions and he quoted the same price again for removal an replacement. We agreed on a date to do the job. Without prompting John promised that we would have hot water from the new hot water heater on the replacement date. This was expected but reassuring to hear. Chuck was the plumber assigned to the job, He came out to inspect the area in the basement where the work needed to be done. He addressed my questions and issues regarding access and removal of the old water heater. Chuck determined the job would require a new water shut off valve, an upgraded gas valve to meet building code, and required disconnecting existing furnace gas line to allow for removal of the existing heater. He quoted an additional $150 for these items. Chuck needed to leave to get the new water heater from the supplier since my unit had to be used for a previous job. Chuck returned shortly and started to work. He removed his boots on many trips in and out and protected the carpets with tarps when removing the old water heater. The work went well and the workmanship was excellent. He got the job done start to finish in about 4 hours. As John promised we had hot water again that evening. The new water heater continues to work great. I would recommend Northern Plumbing in the future for similar work. I received the City Inspection paper work yesterday so all I have to do is schedule the city to come out and inspect the work and this job will be finished. Overall it was great working with these guys!!!

"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."

"He did a great job and worked very hard! He saved our roof rafters in our attic and created a new opening in the hallway ceiling. He carefully caulked all of our exterior windows and doors, washed & painted the exterior, installed a new gutter and drain pipe, just to name a few items... Very flexible in working with me on decisions as to what repairs were needed inside and outside of the house. Very relational and friendly. Really cares about his work!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Water damage to concrete is often gradual and can take months, if not years, for a concrete structure to be fully destroyed. The process often starts with cracks on the surface, followed by sinking slabs and eventually crumbling cement. Therefore, it is important to repair minor damages early to prevent the situation from worsening.

In many homes, an unfinished basement is an ideal place for an in-ground pool. The concrete floors, protection against water damage, and access to the ground below your home make this a large contender. Speak with a local basement remodeling contractor to ensure your space is right for the large construction.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Yes, many repair services include reapplying waterproofing and UV-resistant coatings.

Ideal humidity conditions generally range from 30% to 50%, with 45% considered optimal humidity for most homes. If your humidity levels drop below that range, you can turn your dehumidifier off. Additionally, suppose the temperature where the dehumidifier is installed falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In that case, it's best to turn it off and unplug it since cooler temperatures can cause the unit's coils to freeze.
