"The crew from Foundation Support Specialists, which included Hector Roman, Eddie Sanchez, Ricky Rodrigez, and Mark Willis, did a fantastic job installing piers under the stem wall between my garage and house, and also encapsulating and insulating the crawl space in my basement! They worked quickly and tirelessly to get both jobs done despite having to work in 95+ degree weather with no air conditioning. They were all very courteous and took great efforts to keep the areas they were working on clean of any debris. I will definitely use them again for any future foundation work, and highly recommend them for similar work for anyone needing these types of services."

"Highly Recommend BlueMoon Home! I recently hired BlueMoon Home for a major tree and bush trimming project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Over the years, our yard had become completely overgrown, with branches crowding the roof and bushes looking wild and shapeless.The team from BlueMoon Home arrived right on time, walked the property with me to confirm exactly what I wanted, and went straight to work. Their attention to detail was incredible. They didn't just blindly cut away; they carefully shaped our trees to ensure they stay healthy and structurally sound, and sculpted our bushes into clean, beautiful features."

"Robert and his crew were fabulous. They operated professionally and with integrity. They started work each morning around 8:00 am sharp. My husband and I are very please with our Bathroom Remodel. I also had other small jobs done while they were there. They did not complain but were willing to accommodate me and my ideas. I will be hiring them again for our future Home Renovation Projects."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Standard homeowners insurance policies may cover basement water damage or flooding, but only if it is caused by a sudden and accidental event that is a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a failing appliance. Damage caused by natural flooding from extreme weather, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is typically excluded and requires a separate flood insurance policy. Some insurers also offer an optional water backup endorsement for issues like sewer backups. Review your policy or speak with your agent to understand your specific coverage.

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.

Living in a finished basement is acceptable, but only if the space has the proper points of egress and includes smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors to ensure the safety of the occupants. A good way to ensure your finished basement is suitable for use as living space is to get the basement finishing project properly permitted.

In most climates, contractors recommend closing your crawl space vents in winter. Keeping them shut protects your crawl space from freezing temperatures, pests, and cool breezes that can lead to chilly floors in your home. However, it's often best to speak with a local crawl space team about your specific design and its relationship to the winter season.
