"Jeremy and Austin were hardworking, competent, and thorough in the completion of their jobs. They completed everything in 6 days instead of the allotted 10 days. They explained the jobs and even took pictures of completed work. They were engaging and professional and very polite. JJ Evans kept in touch with them and with me as the work progressed. I now have new floor joists and support beams, a vapor barrier, and a French drain to take away excess water. 5 Stars!!"

"It took two days to tear out the old insulation under the bottom floor and install encapsulation in the whole crawlspace. Nick and his crew did quality work getting the job completed. They also patched holes in the foundation, hauled off all the old, dirty insulation and torn vapor barrier. All-in-all a very accommodating crew."

"The team worked diligently and professionally to Waterproof my basement after hurricane Helene caused water to come into my basement. They had to dig down into the foundation, fix the crack and apply waterproofing underneath my patio. While we haven’t had any big time rain since then, it’s been working against any kind of rain happening so far he also guarantees his work which gives peace of mind. They also encapsulated my crawlspace. It looks very professional and well done. It helps keep the humidity down in my crawlspace, and thus and the rest of my house. I would certainly recommend them to anybody who needs waterproofing solutions."

"Maybe I should wait until it rains to make sure everything works (LOL) but I'm so excited about the work Zelica just did in my basement that I felt compelled to review them right away. Every step of the process, from their initial free estimate, to the work itself, to the communication throughout was excellent. We have not always had the best experiences with companies doing work on our house here in Western North Carolina, but Zelica has been amazing. They were always quick to respond to my inquiries, super informative, and fairly priced. They worked their butts off to get our basement waterproofed in less than three days and it looks fantastic (as fantastic as a waterproofed basement can look). Highly, HIGHLY recommend Zelica."

"Regarding project #118. I'm so happy that I found them. I have struggled to find the right people to complete the necessary work to fix my water problems once and for all. After spending thousands of dollars with different places I can officially say that Asheville Waterproofing is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and a team of highly skilled people. I had never used home advisor, but I needed to try something different, and I"m glad I did. Thank-you Will, Dave and Moses for your time and energy to get this completed as planned. For anyone who is struggling with ongoing water problems due to increased amounts of rain you should consider seeing what this company can do."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Standard homeowners insurance policies may cover basement water damage or flooding, but only if it is caused by a sudden and accidental event that is a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a failing appliance. Damage caused by natural flooding from extreme weather, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is typically excluded and requires a separate flood insurance policy. Some insurers also offer an optional water backup endorsement for issues like sewer backups. Review your policy or speak with your agent to understand your specific coverage.

You don’t always need to install a dehumidifier in your encapsulated crawl space, but it might be a good idea in certain instances. If you notice obvious signs of condensation, mold, or musty smells permeating from your crawl space, a dehumidifier can help. It’s ideal for homes in humid areas.

In a worst case scenario, structural damage like rust on metal beams, rotting wood, and swelling on doors and windows can signal moisture problems that would benefit from a dehumidifier.

Some disadvantages of crawl spaces are mostly regarding the air itself—moisture build-up and poor ventilation, which can cause problems both in the house and underneath it, even damaging the foundation itself. Crawl spaces are difficult to access and often invite unwanted pests during the hot summer months and the cold winter ones. These hard-to-seal spaces are also susceptible to water damage during periods of heavy rain or melting snow.

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.

Pooling or standing water in your basement should be cause for alarm and action. This indicates that there is a leak or a drainage issue, and until you repair the root of the problem, the situation will only happen again or grow in severity. It’s important to deal with water damage as soon as it occurs.
