"We were dealing with a drainage issue in our front yard that was worsening due to heavy rains and local construction. After calling Mike, he quickly came to our house, assessed the situation and designed a drainage solution for us. His team showed up to do the work exactly on the day he promised, and completed the job ahead of schedule. His crew took exceptional care to minimize the impact to our lawn by hand digging and filling the trench. After completion of the job you could barely tell the work was completed since it looked great. Most of all the system worked perfectly and completely eliminated the puddling we were experiencing. Mike amd his crew are true professionals who know their business and actually do what they commit to doing. I highly recommend them and greatly appreciate what they did to solve our drainage issue in a timely and professional manner."
"If you are looking for a solid construction company sonart is the way to go for sure! All I could say was wow aside from the fact that my mouth was completely open for a solid five minutes LOL!

To see our bathrooms brought more to a modern the lights was honestly heartwarming I know my mother would have appreciated this!Thank you again guys for your hard work!"
"Had a great experience with Brown Foundation, specifically Phillip. Had him come check out my crawl space for moisture, because a section of my wood floors are cupping a bit. Phiilip showed up, evaluated the entirety of my crawl space and gave me detailed feedback on what was needed to fix the issue. Turns out it was a small plumbing issue that should cost WAY less to repair than I originally feared. Was happy he didn't try to upsell me or give me some sort of minimal report on what I needed, which would have required me to do more time-consuming research. Highly recommend."

"We are having our fence extended and the company sliced the underground irrigation wires in several places so the fence work had to be halted until sprinkler wiring was repaired. We are do it yourselfers but still needed some advice and parts so we called Moore SC on JULY 4th. I couldn't believe they were open and the lady on the phone was super helpful, so my husband asked if they did repairs and the answer was yes! So when she told us they could come the very next day between noon and 2 we decided to let the pros do the repairs. Sabino showed up today at 2:45 and was very knowledgeable and worked quickly which is nice as you are paying by the hour. About 50 feet of underground wiring had to be completely replaced. All in all $282. I'm super pleased with the professionalism, promptness and quality of work. I'm sure it is difficult to gauge timing of appointments as there are so many possible issues with irrigation systems. I felt 2:45 arrival was acceptable."
"Everything is now working well. Brendon was careful and inspected everything before making any decisions. He listened carefully to what was going on now as well as some earlier problems. He let me know what needed to be done.. And, he kept me updated. After the work was done, he explained everything once more and was able to clearly detail a course of action for some future issues I had asked about. He was courteous and very professional. I felt comfortable having him in my home. Plus, he was able to arrive earlier than I was originally told. He called ahead when he was on his way. The price was excellent and even less than originally quoted because one step was not needed."
"I had an excellent experience with BuildWell. They did a fantastic job installing my gutters. Very clean, professional, and detail-oriented work. The team was on time, efficient, and the results look great. Highly recommend!"
"We had an issue with our sidewalk and curb in front of our house being unlevel and possibly a safety hazard. Jakalon was a one man show last Saturday. He was courteous, informative and professionally personable when he spoke with my husband and I. We would check on him and his work during the process and he would stop and share what he was doing. We were able to sign off on his work in a satisfactory time frame. Thanks J, we like your work!"
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.
Whether your homeowners insurance covers slab leak repairs depends on your specific policy and the cause of the leak. Many policies cover slab leaks resulting from a covered peril, such as a natural disaster, a falling tree, or pipes freezing and bursting within the slab. However, damage caused by invading tree roots, corrosion, or leaks from appliances may not be covered by a standard policy. It's a good idea to also check your home warranty plan for potential coverage if an appliance is the source. Contact your insurance provider for a full explanation of what your policy covers.
A crawl space is an area under the house that provides access to plumbing, electrical, heating ducts, and other HVAC units. Its purpose is to create a buffer between the ground and the living area, helping with ventilation, moisture control, and access for maintenance or repairs. Crawl spaces are most often seen in houses in North America which are built on concrete foundations versus other parts of the world where buildings are constructed differently.
Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.
Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.
By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.
For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.
Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.
