"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."

"Good people to work with, professional in every way. Normally when we received 2" of rain water would start entering the basement. When we receive 3" the basement floor would be covered. Two days after installing their system our area received 8.5" of rain and our basement remained dry, not a drop got in the house. These guys know what they are doing."

"Imagine a contractor doing what he/she promised to do! Well that is Fluvanna Plumbing big time! My Water heater died. The HVAC company that put it in when my house was built said they wouldn't touch it and that I needed to call a plumber. Who would I call? I checked Angie'r List and much to my surprise there was Fluvanna Plumbing, right in my area. They have an A rating and have many, many glowing reviews on how well they do their job! I didn't even know they existed. So I called them late in the afternoon and talked to Sheila. She said she would check with Jimmy to see how soon he could take a look at it. She called me back and said 9:00 am the next morning. Perfect for me. Jimmy showed up on time, checked my heater and gave it it's last rites. Jimmy said if his supplier has a new one, he would get it after his next job and be back this afternoon to install it. Jimmy kept me posted and came back in the afternoon and installed the heater. He did a great installation, left the basement clean and hauled away the old heater. I KNOW who I will call the next time I have a plumbing issue! Great job Fluvanna Plumbing! Thank you!"

"With there being rain almost everyday in April/May our crawl space begun to fill up with water. We reached out to Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing to see what our options were, so that this would not continue to happen in the future. A guy came over and did a free inspection, but then spent at least 30 minutes do a sales pitch that was at least 10x over our budget. They are very pricey, but they clearly know what they are doing."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.

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.

It is better to have a crawl space that is tailored to the outside temperature, your needs, and the season. For example, it is much better to have a vented space when it’s very hot outside and your AC bills are sky-high. Conversely, when the temperature drops and humidity rises, it is almost always better to have your vents shut and covered if possible.

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

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
