"We had a huge job in our yard that included several aspects of technical work: walls, leveling, patio floors, drainage, irrigation, lighting, conduits, and more. We were very happy with the overall process of getting it done, efficiency of work, and communication. The finished patio looks great!"

"I kind of questioned the cost after they did the job. What they actually did here looks pretty good. I just had surgery that time so I was in bed when they came out. They did it under 40 hours and did good work but they handed me another bill that was triple the price. The labor was okay but within that labor, they planted things for me. I had asked them to make it easy to maintain but they never discussed anything with me. I’m sure they upped the cost for the plants quite a bit. I don’t even know what plants they are. They did put in some bricks and they did a good job on that. I told them that I wanted some grooves leveled out in my yard and I realized afterwards that there were still some tracks in the yard. It was covered by grass but I pointed out where they were."

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.

Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.

Typically, waterproofing a basement should last up to 10 years. However, it’s worth noting that with proper maintenance and depending on the waterproofing method and installation quality, you can probably squeeze another decade out of it.

No, your basement dehumidifier doesn’t need to be on 24/7. While it’s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.

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.
