After hector and his crew finished the job for the day — he came back.

On his own time. to sanitize the entire crawl space himself.

"He didn't have to do that, but he clearly takes tremendous pride in his work and wanted to make sure everything was done to the highest standard."

This is the team that shows up to your home.

Save this if you want to know what above and beyond actually looks like

Find the water before you buy a dehumidifier, and don't bother painting the wall.

Call somebody while it's actually leaking, not in July when there's nothing to see.

Which one of these have you already done?

It rains here in October and it's still going in March. The ground never gets a chance to empty out.

That's the part nobody tells you before you move here.

You know that smell. musty, a little damp, kind of like old books but worse. comes and goes. stronger after rain. you've looked everywhere and there's no visible mold.

Here's what's almost certainly happening: the source is in your crawl space or basement, and you can't see it from inside the house.

The 7 most common causes we find: standing water or consistently wet soil under the house, a v***r barrier that's been trapping moisture instead of blocking it, insulation that's absorbed water and is slowly molding from the inside, wood rot beginning on the floor joists, rodent activity that brought organic material in, a sump pump that's been failing silently, or simple air movement pulling crawl space air up through the floor.

If the smell is real and you can't find it, it is almost always below you.

Two pipes. same job. same price to you.

One costs us $1 per foot. the other costs $6.

Which one do you think most waterproofing contractors are using in your basement right now?

Answer in the comments. then watch the full breakdown on youtube (link in comment) to see exactly why the difference matters more than the price suggests.

There's a gap in your basement that nobody ever closed, and it's supposed to be there.

Your walls go up first and your floor gets poured after, so there's a seam where the two meet. That seam is the lowest point down there, and water in the ground pushes hardest at the lowest point.

Go look at where your floor meets your wall. It's the same line in every basement in the country.
