"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."

"Greg and his team were wonderful to work with from the start. It's going to improve our house and our life to stop having water in the basement everytime it rains. We can finish our basement and actually use the space now! Thanks for being so easy to work with and delivering a quality drain system."

"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!"

"They did an excellent job and everything was done on time and with exactness. They work very professionally but they also had fun as they worked. The final price ended up being right on with what the estimated price was. They provided all the materials and they cleaned up when they were finished and didn’t leave a mess behind for us to have to clean up. They listened to us and to what our desires were and then they explained the different options that we had. They were very respectful not only to us but to our property. They showed up on time when they said they would be here and the project was completed when they estimated it would be done. We would definitely recommend them for any plumbing job you have, we will call them for any future needs we have."

"We had Tim and Eli of Reach Dirt Works out to do a variety of projects on our 5 acres. They cut in a 400’ French drain system, removed a small hill and prepped our back yard/patio for sod, prepped and built a 100’ retaining wall 5’ tall, pulled stumps, took down trees and processed them, demoed concrete and installed drainage from the house. I was very impressed with their range of skills. In my opinion, when most contractors can accomplish similar tasks for the consumer, I find that the personal quality of the worker/owners is what matters most, and in this case Tim and Eli are above the rest. I would happily use them again and recommend them to all."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation. 

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.

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.
