"Everyone I have spoken with and talked to and worked with at Bay Crawl Space and Foundation has been exceptional. My husband and I recently purchased a new home and were interested in planning for improvements to the basement/crawlspace as we live in a flood zone. I had several companies come out and look at the space, and Bay Crawl Space was easily the best experience I had. David was very knowledgable and great at making reasonable recommendations for my crawl space and basement. He discussed multiple options with me and was candid about price, giving me his honest, practical opinion that fit within what we were looking for. Their pricing structure was easy to follow/compare and the quote was reasonably priced, if not a little lower than other companies I spoke with. There was a 6 week delay between inspection and installation of our new sump pump, but this wasn't an emergency, so we didn't mind the wait. However, once scheduled, I received several calls with great communication and payments were easily made online. When the time came for installation Matt and Sharron arrived on time, answered all of my questions/concerns and did a fantastic job installing our new sump pump. Two days later the electrical team Adrian and Paul also came on time and did quick work installing the outlet and lights around the sump pump. They even took a look at our electrical panel and answered some questions for me unrelated to the job. All members of this team were communicative, respectful, and great to work with. They left our basement clean and the installation looks really professional. It has been working well with the heavy rains we have recently been experiencing and I would recommend all of the members of this team if you have any concerns about your crawl space/basement. They have all really helped give me peace of mind and I will use them again if we have any other concerns Crawl Space or basement concerns."

"We were very happy with our experience with Virginia Foundation Solutions. All were professional, courteous and very knowledgeable. We were furnished photos to validate the suggested repairs and improvements which helped us make the decisions needed to correct our foundation and crawl space problems. Once the work was completed, all of the issues with doors, cracks in walls and even "squeaking floors" were corrected. Their prices are reasonable and well worth it to protect your home."

"Everything kept changing. Project was harder to repair than originally estimated. Crew (Michael, Samuel, Antonio and Stacy) were very courteous and professional kept me informed as things progressed and what they needed to do. They kept me in loop the whole project. Took a few days longer to fix foundation, and they worked 10 - 12 hours per day. 2nd crew(Miguel, Tristan Samuel) that had to install sub flooring were also very courteous and professional. I would highly recommend them. If I had any concerns, I was able to contact owner directly."

"Our water line to the house from the city water meter failed. Accordingly, the city shut off our water that evening. Based on Angie's List, I called Atomic Plumbing. One of my best decisions! CJ and the folks taking customer calls were wonderful! Nice, sympathetic, caring and most importantly, did what they said they were going to do! I got put on the emergency list. Dispatch kept me informed when to expect their technicians. When Justin & Will arrived, they quickly found the issue, gave me an estimate, went to work (through a storm) and had my water turned on before dinner time. Expert! Amazing! I'm now a loyal Atomic Plumbing customer."

"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."

"This company was very professional. They came for the estimate & was on time. Told me that the weather had them back up but they would do it as soon as they can. They were able to do the work yesterday. The concrete section came out great. The guys that were here were professional. I am going to get them to do an estimate on a shed now. They have a A rating for a reason!

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Installing storm windows can protect your home’s interior from heavy storms. Most storm windows are made with enamel-coated aluminum with screens and sliding glass panels. They also make your house more energy-efficient. The average storm window cost is $12,000, ranging between $4,250 and $19,850, depending on mounting, window types, glass types, and frame materials.

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.

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

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.
