Q: Will a crawl space dry out on its own?

• <div><p>In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn&rsquo;t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary. </p></div>

Q: Are all sump pumps the same size?

• <div><p>No. Sump pumps have different capacities, which refers to the volume of water that they can remove. They also come in various horsepower ratings, which measure the size of the pump&rsquo;s motor. For many homes, 1/3 horsepower is enough. But if you live in an area that floods often, you might need a more powerful model.</p></div>

Q: Can I waterproof my basement myself?

• <div><p>You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn&rsquo;t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-basement-dehumidifier.htm">running a dehumidifier</a> that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. </p><p>However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it&rsquo;s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.</p></div>

Q: What additional home improvement tasks can be undertaken alongside installing a French drain?

• <div><p>If the time has come to install a French drain in your yard, basement, or crawl space, there's a solid chance you've been battling water damage&mdash;or the threat of water damage&mdash;around these areas. Thankfully, proper drainage should allow you to redesign these areas of your home without the fear of being inundated during the next storm. If you've had to remove a portion of your lawn for an exterior French or curtain drain, consider reseeding your lawn to patch up the spot. You can also take this opportunity to enhance your foundation waterproofing methods or even start thinking about finishing your basement .</p></div>

Q: Does heavy rain affect leach fields?

• <div><p>Heavy rain can affect a leach field because the extra rain can cause the groundwater level to rise. This leads the soil around the leach field to become saturated with rainwater, so it&rsquo;s no longer able to take in effluent from the leach lines for final treatment. Heavy rainfall can cause the leach field to flood.</p></div>

"The crew were all very professional and on time each morning. They cleaned up completely every day. When they were digging the channels they found a problem with the install (my foundation) and came up with a solution at no extra charge to me. Before leaving for the day they would show me what they had done and let me know the plan for the next day. I used this company at my old house and was pleased with their work then."

"House was properly resupported and while digging for supports Gino noticed a larger water problem then originally thought. Additional sump pump and pit was suggested with extra drains prior to pouring concrete. I agreed and am glad I did. Pouring of concrete is complete. It's a large basement and as expected the concrete has a few spots that pool water. Gino has assured me that these spots will be leveled with a special concrete leveled in order to assure proper drainage in the event of water. Overall the sump pump system works well as it was tested with a large rainstorm.
