"The Plumbers Plumber did an excellent job putting in a custom shower for me in my basement. It took 2 days, the finished product is perfect, and the price was definitely doable. They went above and beyond for me. Even coming out a week.esrly because I was on vacation that week. These guys were very professional, nice, and cleaned up after themselves. I will use The Plumbers Plumber for all of my plumbing needs."

"Smouse Brothers did a wonderful job on taking care of the moisture in my crawl space!!! First they handled their bid to do the job in a first class way by itemizing their bid( none of the other companies that bid would itemize) giving me examples of the bare minimum that had to be done, what they thought needed to be done and then what additional things that could be done for extra protectionâ ¦ When the bid came in I was overjoyed to find the difference was so large between them and the other companies and that combined with the fact that they were a local family owned business really sealed the deal!!! When they started the job on time and I met their on site coordinator Kristan, I knew I was in good hands as it was obvious that this was not his first rodeoâ ¦ He led me through the job in a near painless fashion from start to finish and explained each step along the wayâ ¦ After the job was finished and they had cleaned up in my yard around the job site, he was available to answer any additional questions and help interpret the photos that Smouse brothers provided of the work they did under my house from start to finishâ ¦ I canâ t say enough about the quality of the work that Smouse Brothers and Kristan provided and I would recommend them highly to anyone who has water or moisture issuesâ ¦"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option. 

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

The process might take a few days to a week, depending on the method chosen, area size, and weather conditions. Some solutions, like simple interior sealants, may require less time.

A leak under your foundation from a water supply line or sewage line is likely to lead to water pooling on certain areas of your property during rainfall, abnormally fast-growing or green grass in certain sections of your lawn, and differential settlement of your foundation, which can result in large foundation cracks, windows and doors failing to operate properly, a wavy or sloping roofline, or damages or irregularities in your interior walls, including cracks and bulging. If it’s a plumbing line embedded in your slab, you’ll also likely notice above-average water bills.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.
