"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!"

"Called him on a Monday and the job was done by Thursday. Courteous and honest. Used his $425 roof inspection plan. Inspected my whole roof along with the repair work I needed. Buttoned up some siding issues that we also needed. Got the job done for way less than I thought it would be."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Several types of insulation are effective for crawl spaces, with spray foam and rigid foam boards being two of the best options. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a strong choice because it effectively repels moisture, resists biological growth, seals the air, and provides excellent thermal protection, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Rigid foam insulation boards are another excellent material as they insulate well, resist water damage, and will not settle over time like fiberglass or cellulose.

If your basement often leaks after heavy rain, it’s probably caused by hydrostatic pressure. When the ground is saturated with water, it can put pressure on the exterior of your home’s foundation, causing cracks in the basement wall and pushing water through any existing weak spots. Over time, hydrostatic pressure can cause structural damage to your home.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. 

Yes, you can enclose your crawl space. Enclosing your crawl space can promote energy efficiency and reduce the risks of pests and mold by limiting factors like humidity. It can also reduce heat loss, which is why doing so for the winter can make your home more comfortable.

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.
