"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."

"We were very happy with our experience with Virginia Foundation Solutions. All were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. We were furnished photos to validate the suggested repairs and improvements which helped us make the decisions needed to correct our foundation and crawl space problems. Once the work was completed, all of the issues with doors, cracks in walls and even "squeaking floors" were corrected. Their prices are reasonable and well worth it to protect your home."

"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."

"I was concerned about moisture in my basement and decided to utilized Managed Service Group for a second opinion. Scott, the contractor, was upfront, honest, and told me what the problem was. He did not come out with 10 plus men to rip out my basement like JES Foundation Company wanted to do. Thank you Scott for saving me thousands of dollars. I will definitely use and recommend this company to others."

"Josh and his assistant did a wonderful job putting our kitchen back together after a water leak. Many repairs were needed and they did it all! They always showed up early each morning to get the job done. Josh is professional, friendly and most importantly does really great work. I felt at ease that the job would be done right. I was very pleased with the services provided and would recommend them to anyone needing small or big jobs done right."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

In most cases, a crawl space will not dry out on its own unless the moisture comes from an uncommon flood and isn’t expected to be a recurring issue. For most homeowners, moisture problems in the crawl space will only continue to get worse over time, so addressing the underlying problem with gutter systems or a foundation drainage system and setting up a preventative solution like a dehumidifier is necessary.

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
