Q: What's the difference between a channel drain and a French drain?

• <div><p>While both a channel drain and a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-a-french-drain.htm">French drain</a> serve a similar purpose, a French drain is designed to prevent groundwater from causing flooding issues. This type of drain system goes underneath the soil and is completely surrounded by soil and rock. A channel drain, also called a trench drain, removes surface water before it ever enters the ground&mdash;hence the concrete and above-ground installation method.</p></div>

Q: Can I waterproof my basement myself?

• <div><p>You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn&rsquo;t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-basement-dehumidifier.htm">running a dehumidifier</a> that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. </p><p>However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it&rsquo;s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix dampness in walls?

• <div><p>The best way to fix dampness in walls is to find the root cause and fix the underlying issue. After that, you&rsquo;ll need to dry the wall with a heavy-duty fan and potentially a dehumidifier. If the wall has water damage, you can remove the damaged drywall, patch it with a new piece, and then paint it to match the rest of the wall. </p></div>

Q: What causes a basement wall to bow?

• <div><p>External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure&mdash;these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent. </p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of waterproofing or encapsulating a basement or crawlspace?

• <div><p>Waterproofing or encapsulating protects against moisture, preventing mold growth and structural damage. These services also enhance energy efficiency and improve air quality by keeping humidity levels in check.</p></div>

Professional job with great follow up. When I ran over a nail and got a slow leak, it was repaired FREE. "Because you bought the tires here."
