"Josh and Aaron came out on the first day of my project to remove the installation and to get things started for the next team.

"Bay Crawlspace Foundation Repair did a wonderful job on our crawlspace encapsulation project. Their technical proposal was clearly superior, all steps were clearly explained and documented with lots of photographs, and the technicians performing the work did their tasks efficiently, cleanly, and courteously. We particularly call out James Lawson, Travis, Jordan, Zach, Vinny, and Jeff; the latter two for their electrical work."

"I contracted Virginia Foundation Solutions because of an issue I had with water seeping through the concrete/cinder block wall to the garage during heavy/steady rains and would install a weeping tile and pump system. The crew that came out to the job site, Joel, Alex, Tomas and Jacke known as "The Blue Crew", were on time and started the work right away. They were cognizant of the plumbing to the water well and the electrical on that side of the house. They were very careful during the excavation. The work took a good part of the day, and when it was completed, I couldn't have been happier with the overall results. I had brick pavers that I was able to incorporate into the landscape to frame out the upper layer of rock that was applied over the drainage rock and weeping tile/tubing. The testing of the pump functioned perfectly, and the electrical work was contracted through DT Electric LLC. Thank you again, Virginia Foundation Solutions and DT Electric in assisting me to resolve my water intrusion problem."

"Would be 5 stars based on the crew, but we had problems with the lead up to the job, which started 3 weeks late based on the salesman not understanding the scope of work and promising something that wasn't possible. The Friday before work was supposed to start, Gustavo (the supervisor) came to look at the job and let me know it would not be able to be accomplished the way we wanted. He worked with the Engineer (Scott) to figure out a way-ahead. Once the plumbers moved some interferences, the crew started. Eduardo (foreman) and his team (Jorge and Hector) did an expert job. They communicated each step of the way, were respectful of the inside of the house, took no shortcuts, and cleaned exceedingly well at the end of each day. These guys were top-notch! The best of the best! We were able to accomplish the first three of our goals: 1. Stabilize the house 2. Gain room in the basement. 3. Get lift to make the house [more] level. 4. Recover the existing beam for use over our fireplace."

"Avoid them...their own intall tech walked into my house, looked at the work order and -incredulously- declared to me that 'whoever wrote this up...they were probably new. But this isn't going to solve your problem". That ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Drying Company completely botched the job. They failed to finish the work (offered some laughable small credit instead) and then sought civil remedy for an amount I don't owe. Oh, and they kept the deposit. To summarize: THEY BOTCHED A JOB AND THEN SUED THEIR OWN CUSTOMER. I was going to let sleeping dogs lie but now I'm going to use every consumer digital megaphone available. Just look at the photo! They were hired to spray foam my crawl space!! That's what they left...They claim this crawl space has been mitigated for pipes freezing."

Our team delivers professional crawl space and foundation repair solutions designed to protect your home from moisture, structural damage, and poor air quality. We provide high-quality workmanship and reliable, long-lasting results on every project.

"I recently hired We Crawl to handle a full crawl space encapsulation and to install new support jacks under my home, and I could not be more impressed with the entire experience. From the first conversation, Robert made everything clear and straightforward. He walked me through the issues he found, explained what actually needed to be done instead of trying to upsell anything, and gave a level of honesty you rarely see in this type of work. When the crew showed up, they worked with the kind of efficiency that tells you they know exactly what they’re doing. The encapsulation was done cleanly and professionally, and the difference in moisture and smell under the house was noticeable immediately. The support jacks were installed with precision, and I could feel the improved stability in the floors right away. Everything looks clean, secure, and built to last.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

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, 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?

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.

Helpful?

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.
