Waterproofing
If you’ve seen water in the basement after a big rain, it is not good. If this water is not controlled, it can prevent you from being able to store items in the area and even keep you from turning that space into another room. Excess water and humidity also has the ability cause mold and mildew to grow which can eventually be responsible for life threatening health problems. If you’ve got standing water in your basement, you should reach out to us so one of our experts can look into the water and help implement a basement waterproofing system which can stop water coming in and prevent any additional problems from happening.

Crawl Spaces
If you have a a crawl space, it is most likely a part of the home that you will only go into when there is a problem. This is because they are generally poorly sealed and are frequently messy, grimy, and can even have critters inhabiting them. They are notorious for having excess humidity issues that can cause damage to the floor joists and even cause mold to grow. Our team knows one of the best ways to prevent problems in crawl spaces is to install an encapsulation system and close them off from the exterior. This will control excess moisture and humidity in addition to controlling the entry of unwanted pests. If your floors above the crawl space are sagging, we can install a system of jacks to lift and stabilize the floor joists and restore the sagging floor. To further control excess moisture, we can install a specialized crawl space dehumidifier to remove the excess humidity and prevent mold growth. More Information
