Stop Water Damage Before It Starts with Expert Waterproofing

Water intrusion and moisture problems in basements are common issues for coastal homeowners, especially those living in older properties. The humid subtropical climate, combined with frequent coastal storms, creates an environment where water can easily seep into basements through cracks, gaps, or porous materials. This moisture leads to a host of problems, including mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage, which can significantly impact your home's value and your family's health.

At Best Home & Property Services, we understand the unique challenges faced by homeowners in our region. Our comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions are designed to address these issues effectively, using cutting-edge technology and techniques tailored to our local climate conditions.

Basement Inspections and Maintenance

Regular basement inspections are crucial for the early detection of potential water issues. Our expert technicians perform thorough assessments, identifying vulnerable areas and recommending preventive measures.

What Causes Basements to Flood?

Did you know you can have water issues in your basement without heavy rains or obvious standing water? It's easy enough to see water coming through a crack in your floor or basement wall, but what's the real cause of your basement water problem?

The Clay Bowl Effect

Image
Clay bowl effect


Excavated soil that's replaced around a completed foundation isn't as dense and tightly packed as undisturbed soil farther away. As a result, water collects in the soil immediately surrounding the house, putting pressure on foundation walls and causing cracks.

Hydrostatic Pressure

hydrostatic pressure


The weight of the water in the soil around the foundation exerts pressure, forcing the water through cracks, gaps, holes, and around windows leading into the basement.

Frequently Asked Questions: Basement Waterproofing

What factors affect the cost of basement waterproofing?

Cost depends mainly on how much of the basement perimeter needs drainage and whether a sump pump or battery backup is part of the system. Basements with active cracks needing repair before drainage goes in cost more than a basement that just needs a perimeter system. Interior systems like the ones used here typically cost less than digging up the exterior foundation, since there's no excavation involved.

Is there a time of year when basement flooding is more likely?

Basement water problems show up most often during the region's rainy summer months and hurricane season, when heavy, sustained rainfall raises groundwater levels around the foundation. Homes that flood once during a heavy storm are very likely to flood again in the next comparable storm unless the underlying drainage issue is fixed. Addressing water intrusion before hurricane season, rather than after storm damage, typically prevents the more serious repairs.

Is a wet basement a health risk even if I don't use the space often?

Yes, an unused wet basement can still affect the air quality in the rest of the house, since mold spores and musty air can move upward into living spaces through gaps, ductwork, and stairwells. This risk applies even in basements used only for storage, since mold doesn't need foot traffic to grow and spread. Waterproofing addresses the moisture at its source, which also protects anything stored down there from water damage.

How quickly does a waterproofing system stop water from coming back?

Once installed, drainage and sump pump systems typically start working immediately, since they're built to redirect water as soon as the next rain event happens. Full confirmation that a system is working usually comes after it's tested against a real heavy rain or storm, rather than right after installation. Homes with a history of flooding may need a follow-up inspection after the first major storm to confirm everything is performing as expected.

Does basement waterproofing still work if my basement is finished rather than empty and unfinished?

Yes, interior waterproofing systems are designed to work in both finished and unfinished basements, since the drainage runs along the perimeter rather than requiring the whole floor to be torn out. Finished basements may need some trim or flooring removed temporarily along the work area, but the overall living space doesn't need to be gutted. This makes waterproofing a realistic option even for basements already being used as living or recreation space.

We just moved into our home and while we were having it painted we discovered (dead) bugs! Brian came to our home the day after we called! He was very professional during this difficult time (moving, painting and Covid 19) and was very informative! He offered several thoughts and guided us to a plan. We discovered our problem was NOT bad! He reassured us the methods he was using would help us. I recommend Best Home and Property Services Inc with 100% satisfaction. They are great! And Brian was extremely knowledgeable and understanding! Thank you Brian!!

I found Best to be professional, timely in the entire encapsulation, and value for the cost. I had one small issue which was more of a communication issue, which got resolved, and one costly item that was part of the contract they showed me it was not necessary to do which saved me hundreds. I would recommend them for any future encapsulation projects.

We have been customers for almost 2 years with quarterly service. They have been great to deal with. We are on 1 acre surrounded by woods and corn fields so bug and pest service is definitely a priority for us. Recently, I saw a mouse run across the living room so I called. They sent someone out but after a few days of nothing in the traps, I called back. They sent out a supervisor (Scott) who took the time to walk the property and identified a small spot in the garage they likely got in. We sealed the area and he set out some new traps.

I had a treatment done today by Shy. I had to provide another review based on the services this representative provided. He was very thorough, professional and he has an awesome personality. He addressed all of my concerns and I am extremely pleased with the service! He is definitely a keeper!

All of the representatives who I had dealings with have been very friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. To early to tell if the treatment worked so I can't speak on that at this time. But as for everything else, I have no complaints about this company.
