"I will start by saying that the work they did waterproofing our basement looks good, and I am hopeful that it has fixed our problem. We've had a good bit of rain recently, and so far, so good. That, of course, is the most important thing. That said, I chose this company, even though they were on the high range of the quotes I received, because I did not mind paying more for a professional experience and great customer service. I was disappointed with this aspect of the experience. The day they were scheduled to begin they never showed up, and I ended up calling them three times that day. The woman in the office was responsive, but she said that they did not know where they were. The next scheduled appointment was for the morning, and they did not end up coming until 2pm, again without any communication. Both instances were due to car issues, but a phone call to keep me updated would have been appreciated to allow me to better plan my day. When they did start the work the crew leader was friendly and appeared to know what he was doing, but he offered little information about the job unless I asked. Prior to the work being done, I also had to keep after the sales representative to put their warranty in writing. Twice he promised to email it to me, and only after contacting him a third time did he send it through. If I had not paid so much (over $11,000) I would have given them another star, but at this price point my expectations were high."

"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."

"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."

"Danny, Jody and the entire Parks Waterproofing of NW NC did a fantastic job from the very beginning during the project assessment phase till the very last phase of the scope was completed. Our project involved a structural and waterproofing repair to the masonry foundation wall that resulted from hydrostatic pressure exerted from the exterior of the wall due to very poor water drainage and inadequate foundation waterproofing. Danny and his team provided a permanent turn key solution that has proven to be effective. The result, additional square footage that was previously unusable that now has more living area and increased the overall value of the home. There are other systems out there that provide a solution for allowing water to weep through the foundation walls and drain from the interior. This type of repair does nothing to resolve the real issue at hand. If you want a permanent repair that you can count on for the life of your home, look no further. I highly recommend the Parks Waterproofing of NW NC team."

"I cannot thank Kyle and his team enough for doing such wonderful and speedy job! My driveway had a foot deep of mud to the point my sedan got stuck and two 4x4 trucks had a very hard time getting up the hill to my property! Kyle and his team graded and graveled my driveway in 48 hours! I was pleasantly surprised and overjoyed with the results! I can finally drive up the hill without worrying about the rain! If you need a reliable and speedy excavator Carolina Dozer is the one for you! They will not disappoint!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

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.

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.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

If you set up a dehumidifier, it will usually dry out your wet crawl space within 12 to 24 hours. Once the space is dry, it’s a good idea to take preventative measures to keep it dry. These include installing a French drain or other exterior foundation drainage system, installing a sump pump in the crawl space, and installing a vapor barrier in addition to leaving the dehumidifier running.
