"From initial survey to access the crawl space condition thru the final Building Inspector approval ( building code enforcement was necessary as new electrical work was performed for the dehumidifier installed in the crawlspace), all was done promptly and thoroughly. The Bay team arrived on time, focused on the tasks, and cleaned up afterward. No concerns or issues; very satisfied. Protecting the crawl space will increase the home's value and has lowered our homeowner's insurance."

"The person I first talked to explained everything the workers would do. On the day they were scheduled to come, they were on time and did a great job. When I went down to see what they had done, I was very pleased, and the basement looked very clean. I would recommend JES to anyone who has any kind of foundation problem."

"Andrew took on a project he was not that familiar with-- installing a screened porch on our lower balcony. It had some challenges and the job took longer than estimated. The porch held up fine in the recent hurricane, however, so overall I am pleased with the result."

"I can’t recommend this small, family-owned business highly enough! I manage a property for a friend who needed a crawlspace inspection. We had four companies, including Patriot, come out to provide free inspections and estimates. Comparing them all was eye-opening, but Robbie and April from Patriot stood out. Robbie provided detailed recommendations on repairs but didn’t try to sell us anything. He believed the core issues were outside his expertise (e.g., gutters and rainwater management), yet he identified these as the root cause of the foundation problem. The other companies each pitched different repair solutions—mainly crawlspace encapsulation or bracing—that felt like “sales-first” approaches rather than addressing the real issue. It was clear the other companies were just hammer salespeople seeing everything as nails. I was so impressed with Robbie’s expertise and no-pressure approach that I asked him to inspect my own crawlspace. Knowing I needed moisture control, he provide"

"Sky Home does excellent work!  Most recently, we hired Sky Home to replace our front door, frame, and storm door, roof soffits,and replace and wrap the fascia board on the exterior of our townhome in Centreville, VA.  Ben went the extra mile wherever he could to ensure that the work was top notch, effective for purpose and pleasing to the eye, including even helping our neighbor out a bit, which showed tremendous character.  The house looks incredible.
We started working with Ben and Sky Home last year. As new homeowners, the ownership part quickly became a harsh reality after we'd sprung a serious roof leak, which resulted in a terrible encounter with a bad roofer who did more damage than any good to our roof.  Long story short, the bad contractor wouldn't fix it.  We knew we were in need of a new roof anyways and in our search, we discovered Sky Home. 
We were so grateful to have found them.  Ben and Sky Home were AWESOME from his estimate to the end product.  They worked as early or as late as required to get the job done right, on time and to our specifications.  He knocked it out of the park and if he says he's going to do something, he does it.  Ben and team are worth every single dollar and they go above and beyond.  For example, we also had him re-insulate our attic and for a little bit more cash, he managed to build for us some adequate storage space around the newly blown insulation using spare wood from the roof replacement, which was a huge help to us.  Dude is killer.  We couldn't recommend him any higher!!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

To ensure your basement walls are waterproof, it's crucial to address any existing moisture issues before finishing. Inspect for signs of water seepage, such as dampness or discoloration, and repair any leaks or cracks. Install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls, and consider waterproofing paints or coatings.

Proper drainage systems, such as interior or exterior waterproofing, can also be beneficial.

In perfect conditions—meaning, no overexposure to the elements without roofing material on top of it—an ice and water shield can last for decades. In fact, many come with a limited lifetime warranty because they should last for a long time. If, however, the membrane is exposed to the elements during building or if there is a delay in installing the roofing material, it might only last up to 180 days if exposed to the elements. The key is to make it a layer of protection and then protect that layer by installing the roofing.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

Most houses will have vents in the crawl space. This allows for air passage and energy retention, which in many ways can help control the temperature inside the home. If you are able to consider the cost of a crawl space encapsulation, you may not need your crawl space vents at all. 

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.
