"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."

"Sergio and his team arrived first thing in the morning and spent the day preparing my yard with drainage pipe, some grading and soil to install beautiful zoysia sod. They ground out a couple of tree stumps for me and made sure my sprinklers were set up right for full coverage in my back yard. I’m delighted with how easy this was, the price and with this company’s service. I am so happy with my yard! Thank you!! I definitely recommend this company."

"The Tar Heel Basement Systems Team was a true pleasure to work with. From the very first meeting / inspection with Nathan S to the actual installation and receiving the final product. Also, just to note...the installation team with Tar Heel Basement Systems was excellent. They answered all of my questions and provided daily updates on the installation progress. They provided me with pictures and again answered ALL of my questions and was super patient with me. The work quality was top shelf. I am more than satisfied with the quality of work performed! Thank you again to the great installation team that installed my crawl space enclosure, shout out to Stephon, Matt, and Jorge (and Nate)...great job guys!!!! and very much appreciated! Also, thanks to Nathan S for all of his great advice and wisdom in planning this project for me. Yes, Tar Heel Basement Systems did a great job!!! Thank you!!!"

"Mr. Cortez was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. He explained the issues, found the source of the problem, and fixed the source. Mr. Cortez is a hard worker and I am super grateful that I hired him. He was on time and willing to explain when I did not understand. The best part of my experience was TC walked me through the issues and pointed out the source so that I was fully aware of what he was doing. If you have mold issues, need excavation, waterproofing, installation of a French drain system, hire TC!"

"A great group of folks - professional, courteous, friendly, and thorough. What more could one ask for? They 'upgraded' the insulation in my attic, and discovered and addressed a couple of problems I was not aware of. Great job! I'll refer you to all my friends. It's good to know that you also do crawlspace/basement encapsulation."

"Crawl Space Jam did an incredible job of encapsulating and waterproofing our crawlspace! Throughout the project, Chris Venzon-owner, continued to provide progress reports, before and after photos, and to make us aware of any operation that might create noise (critical as one of us works from home). Chris even went beyond the scope and replaced the door to our crawlspace to ensure everything was sealed well. We would highly recommend Chris and Crawl Space Jam to help you with your crawlspace concerns!"

"Warren and Sons was beyond incredible! They arrived fast, were professional, and went way above and beyond to help manage any water damage too. They were clear and concise with the issues we were having and communicated the fix and associated charges prior to doing the work. They also clearly worked hard to find the issue resulting in the smallest charge needed rather than just replacing everything and charging a lot. It is also a locally owned and operated business and they presented themselves incredibly ethically. I won't be using anyone beyond Warren and Sons moving forward and have let all my friends know too!"

"I hired Carolina Crawlspace Services to completely clean out the crawlspace under my townhome, remove all of the old insulation and vapor barrier, and install new insulation along with a stronger, higher-quality vapor barrier. I received estimates from four other companies and chose Kyle and Carolina Crawlspace because their pricing was competitive, included more work than the others, and was slightly lower overall. Kyle communicated clearly throughout the entire process, arrived on time, and did a fantastic job. The quality of the work and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Carolina Crawlspace Services to anyone who needs crawlspace work done."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

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.

It’s not the number of weep holes that should be of concern to builders but rather their spacing. Weep holes are usually spaced anywhere between 16 inches on center when using round tubes or wicking materials and 24 inches on center when using open-head joints. This is a more conservative spacing than the 33-inch maximum spacing on center that’s mentioned in the International Residential Code. All in all, the total number of weep holes a brick exterior should have will depend on the size of the structure.
