"I contacted Fausto from Tigasi Insulation to discuss a project in my basement. He arrived on time, and from the beginning, I could tell that he was a professional who takes pride in his work. At the end of the job, Fausto personally asked me to inspect the work that had been completed. I was very impressed with the quality of his work and the excellent job he did. I highly recommend Fausto and Tigasi Insulation to anyone looking for professional and reliable service. Thank you, Fausto, for the great work!"

"Guys came in and worked. No lollygagging or long breaks or any of that just plowed through on a dirty two-day job and their work made me feel a heck of a lot better about the structure of our home. Did great work. The only complaint is that they did not repair a small basement window casing that they pried open to get materials to the basement. I am sure had I contacted them they would have come back and fixed it, but it was not anything nice to begin with and I was able to repair myself pretty easily so I never even brought it to their attention."

"Headly was very knowledgeable and professional. He was also very honest to tell me that the issue was not an emergency as I thought it was. He gave me a lot of information about the water in our basement and advised me to call him if it happens again after a heavy rain. He also checked out and cleaned my gutter while he was there."

"As a realtor, I found Rich from Expedient Environmental Solutions while searching for a client who needed mold remediation. He and his crew did an excellent job at a fair price. They finished on time and left the home clean. So, when I was looking personally to have basement waterproofing (interior french drains and sump pump) along with radon mitigation, I received 3 quotes, of which theirs was the most comprehensive plan, and again not the highest quote overall. They finished the work ahead of schedule by bringing four workers the second day, were respectful throughout and left the area reasonably clean. I'm confident that my days (and nights!) with the shopvac and flooded basement are finally over, and grateful they stand behind their work for a full year. Good contractors are hard to find. Glad I found them. Thanks and I highly recommend!"

"Amazing job, definitely recommend him for your yard or deck work. He came gave me a quote to clean up my flower beds and fix a few rotten woods I had on my deck that looked really bad. He did the job in a few hours and gave me the best price from everyone who gave me a quote."

The quality of their workmanship exceeded my expectations, and the pricing was fair. It's hard to find a company that takes pride in their work and delivers what they promise.

"For replacing the broken water feed line from the road to our water meter in the basement, the army of six were efficient and happy to explain their action plan throughout the entire production. From my discussions with each crew member, is was clear that they enjoy doing good work with each other. I enjoyed watching how the Gold Medal team tackled difficulties and seamlessly moved from Plan A to Plan B as Murphy's Law struck.....as it usually does."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Encapsulation can take the place of crawl space vents since it protects the area from moisture and air all year round. Determining whether you should open or close crawl space vents can be complicated since it often depends on the weather and humidity. Skip this step by investing in crawl space encapsulation whenever possible.

Most houses will have vents in the crawl space. This allows for air passage and energy retention, which in many ways can help control the temperature inside the home. If you are able to consider the cost of a crawl space encapsulation, you may not need your crawl space vents at all. 

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Whether your homeowners insurance covers slab leak repairs depends on your specific policy and the cause of the leak. Many policies cover slab leaks resulting from a covered peril, such as a natural disaster, a falling tree, or pipes freezing and bursting within the slab. However, damage caused by invading tree roots, corrosion, or leaks from appliances may not be covered by a standard policy. It's a good idea to also check your home warranty plan for potential coverage if an appliance is the source. Contact your insurance provider for a full explanation of what your policy covers.

Mold and other fungi love moisture, so the best way to prevent mold growth after water damage is to remove as much moisture as possible. First, find the source of the water or moisture, such as a leak or clogged gutters, and correct the problem. Next, remove standing water, vacuum up puddles with a shop vacuum, and run blower fans and dehumidifiers for 24 to 72 hours. Once you've removed all traces of moisture, disinfect the area using either vinegar or bleach to kill any remaining mold spores.
