"We got a prompt response from Providence for the replacement of our grinder pump in our basement. Ryan called me and told me that it was a specialty part and that the repair was gonna cost around $1500. Ryan got the pump and installed it in an hour and a half and only charged $1300. He was a total pro. He is a total pro! I would recommend this company to anybody who wants prompt and professional service."
"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. "
"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."

"The technicians arrived at my house and immediately went to work. One technician cleaned the dryer vent while the other two inspected the chimney. The technician who cleaned out the dryer vent went into the basement to inspect the dryer vent in the basement before he started. That process took about 10 minutes. He showed me the bag of lint that he removed from the dryer vent. He acutally took out quit a bit of lint. The other technicians came in to tell me that they found no cracks in the chimney and offered to spray the sealant into the chimney. The gave me a quote ahead of time and told me they could preform the service right away so that I didn't need to make another apointment. That whole process took about 45 minutes. I was impressed with the professionalism of the technicians.
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Yes, a crawl space can add value to your home. However, there is a higher chance of it adding value if it is an enclosed crawl space, as this reduces issues caused by excess moisture in the home. That being said, a basement does add more value than a crawl space.
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.
A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.
Generally, moisture barrier padding costs $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, varying by brand and mix. That’s a lot more than standard padding, which runs $0.25 to $0.90 per square foot. The price difference between these two options might seem steep, but think of it as insurance against future carpet replacement costs and subfloor damage. If you have pets or kids, that extra investment in high-risk areas like your living room often pays off.
Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation.
