Q: What methods are used for waterproofing basements or crawlspaces?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can I waterproof my basement myself?

• <div><p>You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn&rsquo;t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-choose-basement-dehumidifier.htm">running a dehumidifier</a> that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. </p><p>However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it&rsquo;s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.</p></div>

Q: How do you fix dampness in walls?

• <div><p>The best way to fix dampness in walls is to find the root cause and fix the underlying issue. After that, you&rsquo;ll need to dry the wall with a heavy-duty fan and potentially a dehumidifier. If the wall has water damage, you can remove the damaged drywall, patch it with a new piece, and then paint it to match the rest of the wall. </p></div>

Q: Will waterproofing my basement add to the value of my home?

• <div><p>Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.</p></div>

I called at 12:08 pm and a repairman was already in my area on another repair. He was here and had my microwave repaired and was gone by 1:10 pm the same day. He showed me what failed which was 3 microswitches. Very friendly and personable as well as professional.

Robert was great! Our toilet overflowed and leaked throughout our bathroom. He listened to our concerns and handled everything so we didn't have to worry about a thing. We even used him on a garage addition and water drainage for our property.
