"The team, led by Trevor, and assisted by Kenny, Terrell and Garrett, worked very well together to accomplish the work we needed done to alleviate water coming into our crawlspace. They were courteous, friendly, professional, and did not hesitate to answer all our questions and explain the process thoroughly. Trevor and team brought other problems to our attention which we have decided to have Mount Valley repair also. Trevor and Shawn helped us get the process going to replace floor joist damaged by water. I would recommend Mount Valley if you have foundation issues that need expert repairs!"

"This is the second time Timca has come out of their way AND rearranged his schedule to come help with our plumbing issue. He is very efficient, wire a mask the whole time and in both cases worked fast. The charges also came out lower than quoted price. I highly recommend them!"

"Chelsea and T have been involved in 2 past projects in our house (a technology nook build and a mantle/fireplace/hearth build). The work is clean and precise. So clean and precise that they are redoing the kitchen and pantry currently. Chelseas virtual mock ups and ideas really helped direct us in what WE wanted. The kitchen/pantry isnt completed yet, but they knocked the first two projects out of the park by making the design flow with the existing surroundings to be eye popping, but look original as well. Im sure the kitchen/pantry will have the same result. I trust them."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

You’ll need to reseal the foundation every five to 10 years, depending on the sealant you’ve used, the moisture conditions present in and around your home, and the condition of your foundation. Having a foundation inspection conducted before reapplication can help you catch any problems before you begin resealing. Of course, if you notice any new leaks or other moisture problems at any time, it may be necessary to reseal the foundation sooner.

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.

Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.

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.
