"I contacted a few companies for quotes and Insulation Co was local to Edmonds, so I engaged them. Jo provided a fast quote over email, which I found odd as the other guys made an effort to come out and view the job and obviously high pressure sell you.... The quote was inline and lower than other guys, so based on that and the great reviews they had, I went with it. Other companies had as many 1 star reviews as 5 star and that was a deal breaker. Jo has almost all 5 Star reviews...The team was able to schedule a time within a week and did all the work while we were out of town. I'm very happy with the results. Did a crawl space insulation, vapor barrier, all the AC duct work and even the adjoining wall to the basement, which I didn't expect. Were in and out in half a day, all cleaned up and professional. House floors are noticeably warmer. Highly recommend this local small business."

"Had Groundworks install a drainage system and sump pump in our home’s crawl space. Anthony and his crew, Jordon, Uriel, and James were Outstanding. It was a three day job. They were on time every day and worked their tails off each day. It was a muddy job in cramped quarters. They never complained. Anthony kept me updated on the progress they made each day. Anthony shared pictures of the job as it progressed. They cleaned up the job site each day. Anthony went over all the details at the completion of the job and answered all of my questions. The whole process was Great. From the initial inspection done by Kristy to the office staff and the installation. The communication was also Great. I highly recommend Groundworks for a complete and thorough job."

"Dylan from Harts Services was prompt, professional and courteous... he scoped out three unfinished basement floor drains to determine why they weren't draining properly... he even invited me to observe the process which I did... Dylan was able to diagnose the problem and provide me with viable solutions and costs and within a short period of time emailed me that information to make an informed decision... quite pleased with the service and would/will not hesitate to engage Harts Services again"

"4 hyberheat mistubishi mini splits (2 of them extra powerful) and a great outdoor unit $30k 4 years free financing Far better deal than Blue Flame and others and no sleezy salesman tactics. Service was good too. A broken seal meant water was getting into the basement. They came in 18 minutes and fixed is super fast!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

If not properly maintained, an underground downspout may damage your home's foundation. A clogged downspout can back up, causing water to pool around the base of your home and seep into the foundation. Regular inspections and maintenance keep your downspout in good working order, preventing damage and protecting your home.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.

Yes, professional installers use weather-resistant materials to protect the dish and cabling from environmental damage.

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.
