"I can?t say enough good things about Rozier Pest Control and the incredible service they?ve provided for my home here in South Hill, Virginia. About a decade ago, I was in an emergency situation and they came to the rescue with an encapsulation job that truly saved my house from potential water damage. The level of detail and the quality of their work were impeccable. Fast forward to today, nearly ten years later, the encapsulation still stands strong! I recently got under the house to shut off the water for some shower renovations, and everything remains perfectly clean and well-maintained. The dehumidifier is still running smoothly, which is a testament to the quality of their work. Michael Wallace, the owner-operator, made the experience even better. He was fantastic to work with.. Very professional, reasonable with pricing, and someone you can really trust. I would absolute"

"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."

"I was very happy with the services provided by this company.  Discovered a slow water leak in the basement in the morning, and Roto-Rooter arrived that afternoon to fix it.  The technician, Warren, was friendly, courteous and efficient, and took the time to carefully explain the problem and recommended fix to me.  The administrative staff followed up with a phone call to make sure everything was handled to our satisfaction.  I will definitely call Roto-Rooter in the future and will recommend to my neighbors.

"One of the hardest workers. He is very honest, and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend. He saved us thousands from what another company wanted to charge for unnecessary work. Going on 4years since he finished his waterproofing and mold removal,we have had record rains and no leaks and no mold. Only dry basement on the block."

"the fireplaces were cleaned very well and very quickly (the basement fireplace was VERY full).  we received an estimate for other work that needed to be done (see above) and everything was written clearly and concisely, with a specific dollar estimate.  then, they sat down with us and explained every step of the repairs that were needed and why they were needed and how it would fix our issues, including smoke from one fireplace blowing into the basement.
when they came back, they were prompt and so efficient.  they completed the work quickly and cleaned up everything after themselves.  i would definitely use them again!!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

“Basement waterproofing” sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.

The process might take a few days to a week, depending on the method chosen, area size, and weather conditions. Some solutions, like simple interior sealants, may require less time.

Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
