We are a full service General Contractor but we also offer many small services to help you with any needs. We do all kinds of new construction from residential to commercial and also offer many maintenance choices from your yard to your roof.

"Communication was great. The house is tall and on a hill. We talked to 3 different companies about doing the work. One company chose not to do it because the house is tall and sits on a hill. Of the other two companies, Total Construction had the best estimate and the people were so nice. I'm so glad they came out to do the work. Each day they cleaned up behind themselves and made it easy for my family to live in the home even though the work was being done. Everything looks so nice now. I know some of my neighbors will be using this company now because they loved watching the work & the outcome!! Great Company!!! Highly recommended!!"

Southeast Foundation Repair is a family-owned business specializing in foundation repair, basement waterproofing & finishing, crawl space encapsulation and foundation wall crack sealing. We service Southeastern North Carolina, including Fayetteville, Wilmington, and surrounding areas such as Boiling Spring Lakes, Burgaw, Carolina Beach, Clinton, Elizabethville, Hope Mills, Laurinburg, Lumberton, Murraysville, Myrtle Grove, North Myrtle, Oak Island, Raeford, Red Springs, Roseboro, Sneads Ferry, St. James, Sunset Beach, Wallace, Whiteville, Wrightsboro, and Wrightsville Beach.

"Our crawlspace was encapsulated in June and almost immediately had issues with leaking. They had to come back twice to fix the leaks in the hatch and fix the substandard job that was done in terminating the condensate pump drain. In addition, we have had more leaks in the past several months that were addressed by them resealing. The most recent time they came out to fix a leak, the service technician did not actually fix anything, but rather told us we needed a sump pump and left it at that. About three months in, a horrid smell developed in the house from the crawlspace. At first, the team lead came in and said it was the worst crawlspace he'd ever smelled and suggested it was due to rats. That same day we had Terminex come out, and they ended up getting on the phone with the service manager to tell her there was no possible way it was rats. Her solution? Try a dehumidifier. Unsurprisingly, in the winter, when stack effect is most prominent, it did not address the issue (the provided dehumidifier with charcoal filter does not run when humidity levels are low)./'][ From doing my own research, it seems that this is soil gasses which can be fixed with a mitigation system/ventilation system and a sump pump. We would be happy to work with the service manager to move forward with some of the options, but she has proven to be unwilling to work with us because "we have already given them a free dehumidifier," as relayed by the service technician when he was on site. Other issues have included: rim joists unsealed and uninsulated, mold being "treated" but left hanging on the joists and not cleaned off, and electrical and plumbing points left unsealed which contributed to the smell during the cold weather due to stack effect. Over the last few months when contacting the service manager, she has grown increasingly shorter in her temperament with us or ignores communication altogether. This company does not care that we are still experiencing problems with the encapsulation system. At this point, we are completely at a loss for how to continue as this has dragged on for months. Based on responses we have received from them and the length of time it takes for them to come onsite we have lost confidence in their ability to resolve our issues. To anyone considering using them for an encapsulation, we would recommend using a different company."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Yes, it’s worth it to repair a crawl space foundation, even if the issue seems relatively minor. Foundation problems often get worse and more expensive to fix if you leave them untreated. Additionally, your entire home, from the framing and flooring to the roof system, relies on the foundation for even and level support. Issues with your foundation will almost always manifest as problems in and above your living space, so it’s important to find a solution.

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.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the issue you’re trying to solve. For example, if you have standing water on your basement floor, a floor drain or sump pump might be your best solution. Or, if you have standing water around your foundation, installing a drainage system that protects your basement and foundation might be better.
