"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."

"Seamless experience from start to finish. Todd was super knowledgeable and through on the consult/ sales end. The install team made quick work of the project. Their work was top notch and my basement is now completely dry. I would recommend their services to anyone with basement or foundation issues."
Stair-step cracks on your foundation wall are a common sign of foundation problems caused by settlement and soil issues.

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
The wall height is measured to cut PowerBrace beam to its length and the bottom of the beam is anchored to the floor. The top bracket is installed and the beam is secured. This patented design can be straightened over time, eliminating future bowing, buckling, or inward tilting movements.

"I have had a problem for 30 years with dampness along one wall of my basement after it rains. I called Crawlspace Services NEPA and got a prompt callback. After inspection of the basement and an explanation of a suggested repair I received a very thorough proposal and estimate at a competitive if not better price than other contractors. On the appointed day Jimmy, Dave, and their helper arrived right on time, again explained everything they were going to do, and completed the job that day. They were very friendly and did a pretty good job cleaning up the basement before they left. One word of caution: If you have a finished or semi-finished basement with drywall, Crawlspace Services NEPA will replace the sheet rock they remove but will not tape, spackle, or paint. This is left for the homeowner or another contractor. This is not unique to Crawlspace Services NEPA. All of the contractors I contacted who do basement waterproofing said they do not do drywall. Bottom line: Since the work was done there have been two torrential rain storms along with snow melt and for the first time in 30 years the basement is dry. So far,so good. By the way the guys guarantee their work 100%. If you are looking for basement waterproofing or crawlspace repair I would heartily recommend Jimmy, Dave, and the crew of Crawlspace Services NEPA."

"The work was messy but The crew was very hard working. The jackhammer hit a pipe under our sink. They came back to fix that. While the amount of water was drastically reduced in our basement, I will never feel secure enough to finish it. They have returned 4-5 times to troubleshoot the problem because their service has a lifetime guarantee. The last time they came (2 years after original job) they added another sump pump and redug one of the ditches. It seems to have helped but I still see a very small amount of water seeping through a few cracks in the floor. With two small kids in the house, it's exhausting to keep having service people in and out of your house. I'm not happy it took so many visits, but I think overall that they were fairly quick in responding to my calls and getting out to our house."

"Phil Sr. evaluated the waterproofing project previously done by another company. He advised as to what was done incorrectly and how his company would address this project properly. The work was done on a timely basis with a very courteous, efficient, and hard working team. I would highly recommend The Basement Expert as they are a fine company who cares about their customer's satisfaction."

"Don't be pressured into having the work done on their schedule. I had way too much "stuff: in my basement, that is now pushed to the center of the basement and even though is was covered with plastic, everything is covered with white dust. As far as the finished drainage work, I'm very pleased."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

There are a few downsides to a wet room, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.

As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it’s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you’ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.

Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with 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.

It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.
