"I was referred to Cravis Custom homes by a friend. We had an extreme amount of water coming into our basement and poor drainage on outside of home, due to prior faulty concrete work and guttering. I did get several estimates before calling Brian, when I met with him, he seemed to understand the problem immediately. I had a quote in hand the next day. His quote was much lower than the other 3 companies I spoke with. Our foundation problem was compounded by the fact that we lived in a multiplex unit, where each unit was owned by separate occupants. Brian and his crew had to fix our problem without disturbing the foundation and causing other problems for our neighbors. Brian and his crew always showed up on time, and did not leave until the job was done. My husband and I are disabled, it was important for us to find a contractor whom we could trust without question. I would recommend Cravis Custom Homes to anyone I know that had such problems. We felt the price was fair and work turned out far better than I imagined."

Hello, I’m a local guy born and raised right here in Columbia. I’m available to do all kind of residential ground work from reshaping your property for proper drainage to clearing trees and overgrowth for better views. I focus on selective growth management in which I remove all scrubby trees and undergrowth to maximize the life of the wanted trees. I also clear large amounts of land. I install drainage systems for gutter and footings to get the water away from your house.

"My husband and I began notcing cracks in our basement walls within the last few months so we contacted Frank to diagnose the problem. He was very knowledgeable and promptly told us what needed to be fixed. His crew began work within a week of us meeting, they worked quickly and efficiently and the job was done in 4 days. They knocked out 30 feet of our basement wall that had been damaged and the work was done in an extremely clean manner. They left the area meticulously clean. We also had 38 feet of wall on the other side of our house piered because it was settling. Frank lifted the house and piered the wall with a jacking system. We were extremely surprised as to how quickly all of the work was done and appreciated the professional manner in which it was completed. Frank even provided us a lifetime tansferable warranty. We highly recommend using Frank for any foundation repair work.

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.

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.

Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn’t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it’s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won’t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try repairing your brick wall instead.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.
