"Fantastic honesty! I called J and D Masonry for an estimate and they came out same day! Jeff was very honest about the work and was able to inform me that what I was looking to have done wasn't needed. I have some basement walls that are starting to crumble some. Jeff informed me they still had great integrity and if he were to come in and coat the walls in more cement it would just be an aesthetic band-aid. I was looking to have the walls recoated in cement to make sure that paint would adhere to the walls to make the basement look nicer. He said it was not needed and said he was happy to come out if I ran into problems painting but recommended I go ahead and paint the walls. Fantastic honesty and I would be happy to do business with him in the future!"

"Excellent work, which was performed during the hottest days of summer that we have experienced for 2019. Heat Index was approximately 106 for both days. The waterproofing was completed quickly and exceeded our expectations. The crew which consisted of Matt Bowen, Triaquan C., Terrell F., and Ethan T. , were professional and courteous. Great Job!"

"My water went out on a Thursday morning. I got Classic plumbing off of Angie’s list called them first thing when they opened. They had someone at my house by 11:30 that same day. It was decided that since my water pump was working intermittedly they would start work the next day since it would be an all day job. I was lucky and had water the rest of that day. They came the next day. Amazingly I got a call from the office advising me that they were gathering equipment and would be a half hour later. Never has anyone called me like that when later then expected. They just show up late! The office staff were wonderful. The crew came and worked all day long . This was a job where there were major obstacles and they never gave up. Worked till dark and could not work anymore. I needed not only a water pump but the electric wire to inside box was bad. Impossible to fix that day but were back on Sat morning and put a new wire from pump to inside so I would have water over the weekend. On Monday they were back and worked all day to bury wire and finish the job.They encountered multiple problems because my system was 35 years old. They were so nice and never complained . I thought for the work they did the price was really fair. Worked 2 and a half days. I paid $5450.00. Got new pump new casing new electric boxes switches wire and they worked hard for 2 and one half days. I thought it was more than fair. They gave me discount for Angie’s list which other Plummer companies did not offer. I will need a hot water heater in the future and definitely will get them to do."

"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."

"My wife and I purchased our home (ranch 1495 sq', built in 1958) and realized it needed a lot of foundation work due to years of moisture damage. This included replacement of the main girder, 41 joists, and mold remediation. While we were at it, we let Triangle Reconstruction guide us through why encapsulation is the preferred method for eliminating our crawlspace moisture issues. So let's break down the score: Overall = A - This will be explained as I go through the other metrics Price = B - Triangle Reconstruction was competitive. They were not the cheapest, and no where close to being the most expensive. This was a $30,000 job. It was one I have never done, and hope to never do again. One of their workers even took me on a tour of the crawlspace explaining the foundation repair, the French drains, the sump pump. I was able to see how much work they did, and because of that, I felt I found a company that priced things fairly. Quality = A Work was done as expected in a reasonable amount of time. The job was permitted and the town inspector passed the project without issue. The inspector mentioned that his house is encapsulated and the work, both the foundation and encapsulation were done well. There were some minor items that I noticed, and Triangle Reconstruction was able to come back onsite an address. They worked with our schedule and completed everything to our satisfaction. Responsiveness/Communication = A The great thing is that for our project there were two people looking working with us, Drew and Rob. When we had a question and needed an immediate or quick response, it is best to pick up the phone. My wife and I were able to reach Drew or Rob without issue. We worked with Drew early on, he was our first point of contact, so we never felt uncomfortable picking up the phone an calling him. He insisted we call him with any questions. Once we met Rob, that same level of comfort was established. I mostly emailed with Rob (it was a little slower i.e. not immediate response, but more than acceptable. However, getting him on the phone was never an issue. I add that our culture's expectation to texts and emails is immediate, and those expectations should be tempered. It is important to understand that Triangle Reconstruction provides numerous avenues to contact them, and my wife and I never had an issue. So they respond to emails, to phone calls, and their crew shows up and works when they are scheduled. Scheduling with Triangle Reconstruction was relatively easy and they worked with us, and we with them. Punctuality = A They arrived in the morning, at a reasonable time (not too early), and were usually working when we got home. They did not work too late, which was comforting as I like to settle down after a day of work. I found this showed respect for our time and our home life. This was not the stereotypical experience of a contractor working like a college student goes to class. They were efficient and ultimately effective. Professionalism = A Drew - very knowledgeable, willing to follow-up and check in Rob - very knowledgeable as well, understanding, willing to take the time to come onsite and answer questions, address concerns. I felt like they were both available and genuinely cared. The crew - super nice, and respectful. I think it went well. I am skeptical of contractors, mechanics, anyone that can easily get over on me. It is important to be an informed consumer. It is important to ask questions of your contractor, and be involved in the process. Triangle Reconstruction allows this. I would hire again with hesitation. I am currently monitoring our crawlspace with humidity sensors and Rob is helping us tweak the settings as we wrap up the project. I think Rob, Drew and crew have a good thing going, and I wish them best. Update 9/19/2017 - I use AcuRite humidity sensors and noticed I had an area that was a little high, slightly above 60%. Triangle Reconstruction came back onsite, repositioned the dehumidifier and now things have improved. Rob had no issue making sure the appropriate humidity level was maintained and consistent throughout our crawlspace."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

While water in your basement is unlikely to make you sick unless it’s coming from a sewage backup, mold is likely to start to grow in wet areas within 24 hours, and mold can make you sick. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), inhaling mold spores can cause allergy symptoms, including runny nose, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, wheezing, and itchy skin. Individuals with pre-existing respiratory issues like asthma and immunocompromised individuals are at an elevated risk of symptoms when inhaling mold spores.

Several types of insulation are effective for crawl spaces, with spray foam and rigid foam boards being two of the best options. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a strong choice because it effectively repels moisture, resists biological growth, seals the air, and provides excellent thermal protection, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Rigid foam insulation boards are another excellent material as they insulate well, resist water damage, and will not settle over time like fiberglass or cellulose.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.

The best ventilation for a crawl space is a fully encapsulated crawl space with its own separate ventilation system. If you go this route, ensure you have the proper crawl space code requirements done and dusted before encapsulating your crawl space with a moisture barrier and installing appliances that may not be up to the proper specs.
