"Blake Excavation was recommended and we are ever so grateful! Our Septic Drainfield had failed after 42 years and we were in need of urgent help. Despite delays courtesy of an understaffed DEQ Jason kept us informed and was onsite the minute the permit was approved. The crew showed up on Friday and worked through the weekend to get us back online. They were courteous and caring and we are ever so grateful!"

"We are so happy with our roof! It actually took less time than we had been told it could take, and the cleanup was immaculate. The crew was polite and never stopped working until the job was done. Tim Hogue was easy to work with and we will be using his company again in the spring. We totally recommend his company!"

"Frank was very professional. He made bids and when one came in $1000 less he told me and I was able to pay less than expected. The crew were very polite and my life could continue through the repair. At the end they even brought in a nice supply of fire wood from my wood shed and stacked it next to my kitchen door!"

"I called to set the appointment.  they gave me a three hour time window.  the gentlemen showed up towards the beginning of the time frame.  they were very courteous.  They explained what they were going to do, how the equipment worked, and about how long it would take.  They cleaned my vents in a reasonable time.  They also vacuumed up all the spider webs around my furnace while they were down there (I have a stone basement so it is a never ending battle).  The next time I need my vents cleaned I will absolutely call them.   I have recommended them to everyone I know."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Yes, you can enclose your crawl space. Enclosing your crawl space can promote energy efficiency and reduce the risks of pests and mold by limiting factors like humidity. It can also reduce heat loss, which is why doing so for the winter can make your home more comfortable.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

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.
