"Shane was very responsive and knowledgeable to address the humidity problem in the crawl space and odor being emitted through the vents. His team of professionals installed a dehumidifier, replaced the vapor barrier, and sealed the vents. I'd highly recommend MSG team of professionals for your next repair project ."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"8/10/15 Estimate:   Appt time was in a range as we were the 3rd stop in the area.   Ahead of time, Mr. Perry called to say "I'm on my way should be there in 30 minutes."  which we appreciated.   Arrived in 30 minutes.  Went over my plumbing repair list.  Gave a written estimate. 
8/12/15: Repairs:  all bathroom faucets, toilets, shower fixtures, & kitchen faucet with new parts.  Also, replaced broken outdoor spigots. Afterwards, double checked my list; asked us to check each repair to be sure all working fine. The repairs were fine.   Cost of the repairs equaled the estimate amount.  Very quiet-- didn't know he was working--  my cats did not hide!   
8/17/15:   Follow-up visit.   answered all our additional questions.  no charge. 
We used Fluvanna Plumbing Service in 2012--  replaced garbage disposal.  Still working fine.  
8/17/15:  Definitely will use FPS in the future.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In most climates, contractors recommend closing your crawl space vents in winter. Keeping them shut protects your crawl space from freezing temperatures, pests, and cool breezes that can lead to chilly floors in your home. However, it's often best to speak with a local crawl space team about your specific design and its relationship to the winter season.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

French drains and yard grading systems are two highly effective ways to fix standing water around the foundation. Since the French drain uses a perforated pipe covered by gravel, you won’t have to worry about water taking the soil away from your foundation. Meanwhile, yard grading levels out the ground to prevent water from gathering around your foundation.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

If a crawl space isn’t vented, there can be moisture buildup, which can lead to mold damage, easily destroying the foundation of your home. A closed-off crawl space can trap heat, which can be useful in the winter, but can also trap dangerous gases and prevent clean air from entering the home through the floorboards.
