"Lane came out and listened to all our needs. He walked us through a very clear plan for our basement. They gave us a reasonable quote and were able to schedule us a few weeks later. It took them 2 days to do the work and it was done very professionally. The crew was extremely nice. They brought extra plastic to make sure all our belongings were covered. They even helped me move my washer and dryer! They made sure everything was clean and to our standards before they left. The whole experience has been great and I highly recommend them for whoever is having water issues in their basement or crawl space."

"I can’t say enough good things about Derrick with Fortress Vapor Solutions. From the first inspection to the final walkthrough, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. He showed me exactly what was going on in my crawlspace with pictures and explained it in a way that actually made sense. The work itself was outstanding—clean, thorough, and done right the first time. The encapsulation completely transformed my crawlspace, and the musty smell in my home is completely gone. You can tell he takes real pride in what he does. What really surprised me was the price. After getting a couple other quotes, I was expecting to pay a lot more for this kind of work. Derrick came in very fair without cutting any corners, which made the whole decision easy. If you’re dealing with moisture or crawlspace issues, do yourself a favor and call Fortress Vapor Solutions. Honest work, great results, and pricing that actually makes sense."

"Danny came out and thoroughly researched my water problem. He determined that it was caused by water coming through a wall above grade, probably from rain spilling off the roof beside my chimney. Even though that is a different type of work than his company does, he spent the better part of an hour carefully checking all my interior walls, testing to see if a downspout was draining properly, and insuring that there were not other potential water problems. No one could have been more thorough, more conscientious, or more pleasant to work with. Honest, trustworthy, professional, ethical, knowledgeable, efficient. If I need waterproofing work done in the future, Danny at Parks Waterproofing would be the ONLY person I would consider calling."

"

I had several questions about the additional maintenance that was recommended and Richard was very honest and thorough with his answers. I trusted him completely as he gave me the impression that he knew what I needed and was able to do an excellent job at a reasonable price. Alpine was very fair and even offered a discount because I have a yearly contract for semi annual checkups.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Having a trusted crawl space contractor is the key to great encapsulation. If you're not sure how to hire a crawl space pro, begin by asking your neighbors for referrals. Homes in your neighborhood will often have a similar foundation to your house, and personal recommendations are one of the best ways to find a contractor. Additionally, double-check that the contractor has experience with encapsulation as well as proof of their license and insurance.

While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.

You can seal a concrete slab by cleaning the surface, filling in any cracks, etching the surface, applying a sealer, and letting it dry. Concrete slabs don't typically need sealing, but you can use a topical concrete sealer if you notice signs of water damage. If you haven't already fixed the cause of the leak, then you'll want to repair the plumbing before you seal a concrete slab.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
