"Bobby and his crew answered all my questions, they were respectful and extremely helpful. Bobby and crew went above and beyond what was on the contract. My house looks beautiful, they power washed entire building, pained the sidewall of the building with thorocoat, front of house was pointed where necessary and applied waterproofing sealer, glass block window, painted stoop and stairs, cemented cracks on stoop and sidewalk, painted outside railing and applied cement in basement where needed. I have to say some of what was done wasnâ  t even on the contract, so they went above what was expected and to my surprise Bobby didnâ  t charge extra. Being a single woman who has had bad experiences with contractors and their disgraceful personalities, having Bobby and his crew work on my property was a pleasure and breath of fresh air. I would hire Bobby and his crew again and recommend them in a heart beat. Best work!!"

"Called about a basement sewer backup and couldn't be happier with the service. This guy is the doctor of draining — diagnosed the issue fast and had everything flowing again in no time. Professional, honest, and clearly knows what he's doing. Highly recommend, don't hesitate to call him if you're dealing with a drain or sewer issue!""

"I called John and left a voicemail and he got back to me immediately. He double checked that I needed a cesspool certification and not an inspection which would have been more invasive and costly, and once confirmed, scheduled them to come out that weekend. The man who performed the certification was right on time and was very quick but professional and thorough. Everything was seamless, and for something requested by the bank so last minute, we were grateful to get it completed so quickly."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

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.

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold by blocking moisture and reducing humidity. If the vapor barrier is properly installed, it significantly reduces the chance of mold developing within the crawl space. However, mold can sometimes grow behind the encapsulation material, but it will be sealed away from the main area. Additionally, moisture can still condense inside the encapsulated space, so if you notice excess humidity, installing a dehumidifier is recommended to prevent mold and mildew growth.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

When doing any type of project involving mold, it's important to wear the right protective gear. You'll want an N-95 or KN-95 mask to keep yourself from inhaling mold spores, which can be irritating or trigger an allergic reaction in people with weakened immune systems. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear and gloves to limit your contact with mold.
