"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

You should always hire a structural engineer or a professional and licensed foundation repair company for crawl space repair. These professionals will often be able to treat the symptoms of the issue as well as the underlying problem so that you don’t have ongoing damage. They’ll also often take preventative measures to stop the issue from recurring in the future.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

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.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. Whether mold develops depends on several factors, including the severity of the water damage and how quickly the area is addressed. To prevent mold, you must act fast—ideally within the first 24 hours. The process involves cleaning up all standing water and thoroughly drying the affected area. If the damage is extensive, the cleanup was delayed, or you suspect mold might be present, it is safest to assume it has grown and contact a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.
