"I highly recommend this contractor. They were highly professional in every way: they always came just when they said they would, they did exactly what they said they would, they were great at solving problems that arose during the basement waterproofing project, and they did a really good job of keeping us informed multiple times a day about the progress of the project. The crew that handled our project was outstanding. We were especially appreciative of the work done by the foreman, Dan. Just great all around work."

"Josh Taft and Brad were very personable, professional and efficient. They were also respectful of my house. This is the second time I’ve used your company. No offense, but I hope I don’t need the services of your company again."

"Woodford brothers did a great job waterproofing my basement. There estimate was right on par with other companies and actually a bit lower. The workers were very professional and very respectful of my property and house. Shoutout to Hunter who answered all questions thoroughly and didn’t mind at all how many I had as he was working! They showed up on time and worked all day, barely taking breaks. And so far, and we’ve had a few rainy days, we have had no water in our basement. I would not hesitate to recommend Woodford Brothers."

"From the beginning working with Guilio to come up with the plan to scheduling, and the work itself this was a great experience. This was one of 3 bids I got for the project. I had Chris, Steve and Rick working on my job and they were great. Showed up exactly on time, were respectful of the space and completed the job job faster than I thought they would. They made sure to provide regular updates while working and walked me through the work and the system to make sure I understood everything before they left. I would definitely recommend Highlander for your Waterproofing needs."

"Mold Buster's got it right. Chris and Sayde and the crew are hard working honest people who know what they are doing. Not only is Chris knowledgeable about this service, he is honest and forthright. He is committed to your total satisfaction with the job. We hired him after we inherited my father's house/cottage. The roof had been leaking and moisture had been getting into the basement and exterior walls, causing mold growth throughout. Chris quickly identified all the problem areas, suggested various solutions, worked with us to set up budget and schedule, answered all our questions, and completed the job in a timely fashion. Bottom line is we are very pleased with the result, would use Chris again, and recommend him highly."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, engineers assess soil load-bearing capacity and provide construction guidelines.

Some disadvantages of crawl spaces are mostly regarding the air itself—moisture build-up and poor ventilation, which can cause problems both in the house and underneath it, even damaging the foundation itself. Crawl spaces are difficult to access and often invite unwanted pests during the hot summer months and the cold winter ones. These hard-to-seal spaces are also susceptible to water damage during periods of heavy rain or melting snow.

In most climates, contractors recommend closing your crawl space vents in winter. Keeping them shut protects your crawl space from freezing temperatures, pests, and cool breezes that can lead to chilly floors in your home. However, it's often best to speak with a local crawl space team about your specific design and its relationship to the winter season.

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.

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.
