"Groundworksâ listened to our input and throughly evaluated the requirements to support the basement walls and prevent water from coming in. They were on time and communicated clearly and timely. The Foreman did an evaluation and recommended a couple changes to the plan that I agreed with and weâ re beneficial. The 3 workers knew what they were doing and worked hard. I appreciate the manner they communicated and they were very friendly. Overall, they did a great job!"

"I had an increasing water problem in my basement when it rained. Kevin came to look at the situation very promptly and assessed the problem . He was very good about making sure I understood my options and costs up front. He walked me through every step and reviewed the work once completed. I am very happy with the professionalism and excellent work of Kevin and his workers. I am happy to recommend this service. Kevin went above and beyond when they had thrown out a rock-yup, a rock-that was my mother's - he went and retrieved it! Amazing sensitivity."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.

A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.

The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.

A crawl space encapsulation isn’t always necessary, but it’s a wise choice, especially if you live in an area that sees a lot of precipitation. Sealing a crawl space not only reduces damage caused by moisture, mold, and pests, but it also increases your home’s value. It can also save you money by reducing energy bills and avoiding costly repairs for structural or foundation damage.
