"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

Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.

The process might take a few days to a week, depending on the method chosen, area size, and weather conditions. Some solutions, like simple interior sealants, may require less time.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
