"After years of a damp basement and mildew problems a water leak from a broken kitchen pipe above the basement led us to use our insurance and redo the floors. That led to us wanting to solve the wet basement problem once and for all if possible. Mildew experts were going to be very expensive and not solve the problem of dampness that created it. I read a lot of reviews and then called B-Sure. When family owner Ron came to analyze the problem he was knowledgeable and very forthcoming about costs and pros and cons. He suggested we put a french drain around our basement to change the hydrostatic pressure around the house. B-Sure also removed all mildew, took out two covered windows and filled in two window wells along the ground, replaced our sump pump and replaced an old window. All of that cost less than the mildew company was going to charge to just remove some mildew from part of the basement. This was a very big project in the winter in the middle of a pandemic and the family members and other employees who worked on it were on-time (or early!) polite and did a great job cleaning up! It only took them a few days to do all the work! Six months later our basement is dry and nice and that is after a spring with a lot of rain. We just hired them again to work on solving an issue we have had for years with a drainage pipe in our yard that is clogged. This company is great at what they do and you get a lot for your money. They get my highest recommendation!"

"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."

"Great company to work with, very friendly knowledgeable people and customer satisfaction is their goal. Matt and his crew did a superb job restoring our finished basement after it got flooded when our sump pump had failed during heavy rains. Dual pumps were installed, along with waterproof and mold proof walls and flooring and a Sedona dehumidifier air purification system."

"R Davies Construction delivered a flawless job that merits nothing less than an A+. They recently installed a 120 foot outdoor French drain on our property, and their execution was a masterclass in efficiency and professionalism. They arrived promptly, communicated with us clearly, and worked with meticulous attention to detail- and were also super friendly! What could have been a chaotic prose of mud and disruption was instead transformed into a beautifully structured, clean, and functional landscape. If you are looking for a contractor that understands the syntax of hard work and structural integrity, R Davies Construction is the definitive choice. Highly recommended!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

Home improvement grants are available for various groups, including individuals with very low-income housing, elderly people, older adults, and veterans. These grants can cover a range of needs, from accessibility modifications to addressing critical issues that may affect a resident's health or safety.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

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.

If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.
