Waterproofing
When you have standing water in your basement following a big rain, it is not good. When this water is present, it will keep you from having the ability to keep items in the area and even keep you from turning that space into another room. Excess moisture and humidity can also cause mold and mildew to grow which can ultimately lead to life threatening health problems. If you’re noticing standing water in the basement, you should get in touch with us so one of our experts can look into the flooding and help create a basement waterproofing system which will control water coming in and prevent any additional problems from happening.

Another sign could be your doors or windows will be difficult to open or close or even not moving when opening them. Settling foundations are fairly common in the Petersburg area as the moisture levels of the soil fluctuates during the year. These issues are occasionally caused by improper soil compaction when your home was being built. Our professionals can install a system of piers under your house that will shift the weight of the home to the piers and keep the house from sinking or settling in the future. More Information
Crawl Spaces
If your homes got a crawl space, it is most likely a part of the home that you only visit when there is an obvious problem. This is probably because they are usually improperly closed off and are regularly unkempt, dangerous, and can even have critters inhabiting them. Crawl spaces are notorious for having moisture issues that can cause damage to the floor joists and even enable mold to grow. Our experts know one of the best ways to control issues in crawl spaces is to encapsulate them and seal them off from the weather. This will control excess moisture and humidity as well as preventing unwanted pests from getting in. If you have sloping floors above the crawl space, we will install a series of jacks to lift and stabilize them and restore the sagging floor. To further prevent extra moisture, we will install a specialized dehumidifier to remove the extra humidity and prevent mold growth. More Information
