"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

A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

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.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.
