"First attempt at remediation was disappointing, but subsequently a more aggressive effort was made. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service and concern. In a time when warranties and customer satisfaction are just lip service, it is a refreshing experience to deal with a company that values its customerâ s concerns. I would recommend you consider Once And Done for your basement waterproofing needs.."

"Dave with 2 other workers were prompt and efficient. They came when they said they would and finished everything in 2 days. Everything looks fantastic because they protected my personal space with a plastic shield and cleaned everything up. Dirt and rubble was hauled away and they even sprayed my walkways outside. They installed the basement system and connected all my outside downspouts. I would highly recommend Highlander to anyone who needs waterproofing because they went above and beyond to make sure I was happy."

SaniDry Sedona is the world's most efficient, high-performance dehumidifier and filtration system and is a crucial element in basement waterproofing and crawl space repair. As a result of its compact size, it occupies less space in a basement and can easily be tucked away in a crawl space. The unit eliminates damp, musty odors by drying and filtering the air, and it costs less to run than other dehumidifiers. It filters mold spores, dust mite droppings, dust and other particles, and it keeps hu

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

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.

If you decide to fill the space around your home’s foundation with landscaping materials, it’s important to consider the aesthetic as well as technical factors like drainage and protection from pests and the elements. Materials such as gravel, rubber mulch, concrete, and brick masonry are all good options.

Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it’s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost.

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.
