"Everyone I have spoken with and talked to and worked with at Bay Crawl Space and Foundation has been exceptional. My husband and I recently purchased a new home and were interested in planning for improvements to the basement/crawlspace as we live in a flood zone. I had several companies come out and look at the space, and Bay Crawl Space was easily the best experience I had. David was very knowledgable and great at making reasonable recommendations for my crawl space and basement. He discussed multiple options with me and was candid about price, giving me his honest, practical opinion that fit within what we were looking for. Their pricing structure was easy to follow/compare and the quote was reasonably priced, if not a little lower than other companies I spoke with. There was a 6 week delay between inspection and installation of our new sump pump, but this wasn't an emergency, so we didn't mind the wait. However, once scheduled, I received several calls with great communication and payments were easily made online. When the time came for installation Matt and Sharron arrived on time, answered all of my questions/concerns and did a fantastic job installing our new sump pump. Two days later the electrical team Adrian and Paul also came on time and did quick work installing the outlet and lights around the sump pump. They even took a look at our electrical panel and answered some questions for me unrelated to the job. All members of this team were communicative, respectful, and great to work with. They left our basement clean and the installation looks really professional. It has been working well with the heavy rains we have recently been experiencing and I would recommend all of the members of this team if you have any concerns about your crawl space/basement. They have all really helped give me peace of mind and I will use them again if we have any other concerns Crawl Space or basement concerns."

"Terry inspected my foundation, but unlike the other inspectors, he inspected and measured inside my house as well as outside, spotting cracks that helped him diagnose the problems. He proposed a solution that involved placing pilings beneath the foundation in the back of the house. The work went extremely well. Daniel headed up the installation of the pilings, and after three days, I was able to open the sliding door in my basement for the first time in a year. Everything was cleaned up I am very pleased with the quality and price, and I strongly recommend VFS to everyone."

"We own a 4 unit rental property in Portsmouth but live in Newport News.  Saturday afternoon, sewage started backing up into one of the showers in the basement.  We called the city and they snaked from their clean-out to the road which seemed to solve the problem, at least for a while.  But as life would have it, late that evening sewage again started backing up.  The washing machines wouldn't drain, the toilets wouldn't flush and when you're dealing with multiple families this kind of issue is an all out disaster.  I called Atomic and they came out within the hour, no emergency fee thank God.  The technician got the info he needed, gave me the price I needed, and got to work.  He ran 100 ft of snake line through the pipes all the way to the road and got everything cleared out.  When he was done he recommended a few things and was on his way.  I will definitely be using Atomic Plumbing again.

"They rep advised a lot to waterproof the crawlspace at a very large amount$$$$$ And made it sound as if the foundation was crumbling and in disrepair I had a contractor friend also look and came up with a better priced solution and would alleviate the water from even entering the crawlspace or walkout basement area That way I would not need the overkill of waterproofing the crawl but keeping the water from entering the area in the first place"

"Nearly three years ago, I asked JES to install a waterproofing system around my basement (in 2016). After they did this, there was no further flooding or leaking of ground water into my basement. In addition, the dehumidifier makes the whole house smell fresh."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

For Chesapeake homes, top materials include polymer-modified asphalt membranes and rubberized coatings for exterior walls, which resist the region’s humidity. Use dimpled drainage boards and perforated PVC pipes surrounded by gravel for effective French drains. Inside, submersible sump pumps, moisture barriers, and high-capacity dehumidifiers are essential. Flexible, mold-resistant sealants help manage shifting clay soil and persistent moisture, while foundation drainage systems provide added protection.

Helpful?

In Chesapeake, be cautious if a contractor offers a quote that seems unusually low, pressures you to sign immediately, or requests full payment upfront. Watch for professionals who overlook the need for exterior drainage or fail to address the area’s clay soil and high humidity. Lack of a detailed written contract, vague warranty terms, or ignoring local flood risks are also strong warning signs to consider.

Helpful?

When hiring basement waterproofing professionals in Chesapeake, prioritize those with proven experience handling the area’s clay-rich soils and frequent humidity. Confirm they understand local floodplain challenges and building code requirements. Ask about their approach to both interior and exterior waterproofing, and request recent references from Chesapeake homeowners. Ensure they carry comprehensive insurance and offer clear, written contracts detailing all recommended solutions.

Helpful?

In Chesapeake, unexpected costs during basement waterproofing often arise from the city’s high water table and unique clay soil, which can require specialized foundation drainage solutions. You may also encounter expenses for moisture barrier upgrades, rerouting existing utility lines, or repairing landscaping after exterior excavation. Addressing hidden mold behind finished walls and reinforcing older foundations to meet local floodplain requirements are other common surprises in this region.

Helpful?

Basement waterproofing in Chesapeake can significantly enhance your home’s value and marketability. Buyers appreciate documented protection against flooding, mold, and foundation issues—especially in areas with high water tables. Waterproofed basements often translate to more usable living space and fewer inspection concerns. Transferable warranties and maintenance records also reassure buyers, making your property stand out in the Chesapeake real estate market.
