"He actually pointed out to me that I needed more insulation over the whole home as over a period of time it packs down. So I let him do the whole home as well as garage that I had originally wanted a quote on."

"We shopped around and settled on MVFS because we thought they offered best product. MVFS encapsulated our crawl space plus put in 2 sump pumps/drains. We had it done right before "Debby" and there were some issues due to the amount of rain we got. We called MVFS and they immediately came out and rectified the situation. We worked with Mark (sales), Joe, Dez, Zach and Darryl (encapsulation guys) and all were professional, kind, they explained things well and worked till we were satisfied, even work late nights on occasion. We would definitely recommend them."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Mold growth is just one common sign of excess moisture in the bathroom. You may also see the paint in the room start to peel away from the walls, or that the walls remain wet for some time after you bathe.

Condensation on the windows is another sign that your bathroom has a potential moisture problem. The room itself may start to smell like mildew.

Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts
