"I would highly suggest STAYING AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! They booked a house of mine on Airbnb and smoked in it knowing it was a non smoking house and damaged my driveway and didn?t even attempt to fix it after confronting them them about the issues no response if they are willing to treat someone?s home in that manner I can?t imagine the corners they cut and how bad the quality of work they do is ? and you can obviously see how they handle problems when there is a issue by not responding!!!"

"1 year experience with Clark’s Pest Control. Initial treatment with quarterly maintenance treatments. And we scheduled additional treatments between quarters due to the bugs that just kept coming. Despite this the bugs never stopped coming. When Clark’s came they would treat only a specific area. So for example they were called out for Argentine Ants by the trash can. They sprayed and they died but very next day the ants moved to dog bowl. Then you would have to reschedule and they would come out to treat that area. They would not do anything but what any homeowner could accomplish with Raid insecticide themselves. During their coverage new German cockroaches showed up we never had prior. How does a home under pest control develop a problem with bugs it didn’t even have before? They offered additional treatments at additional costs. Clarke’s sent an angry young male as our contact person who we declined immediately due to his agitated behavior and suspected mental illness. They sent a replacement who was a supervisor but the majority of the year the contract was under his care and he failed. You really don’t want Clarke’s undereducated male employees prowling around in your house. I wonder if Clark’s or one of their employees are diluting their chemicals to make more money. After I fired them and spoke to other pest control companies, they acknowledged they are aware of many customers with similar stories leaving Clark’s and only from Clark’s. When I cancelled it was easy, they were happy to get rid of customers like me. They just wanted the spray and bill customer and not actually to provide a service. Yes we understand they are a business but this was more like a scam. We had Clark’s provide a termite estimate as well, my termite guy looked at it and just said you know they aren’t even offering you formite Termite protection which is now endemic in my area. I wonder why they did that but I know. He said most people don’t know the difference and the price is lower so it looks good. Clark’s advertises as a family company which they were, but they are not now, they are a business first, second and third. Do not be fooled, they aren’t there to help they’re just they’re to collect your money. Now that we have been with another company for only 1 month, the bugs are gone. I wish we had moved on from Clarke’s along time ago but we didn’t know we were being taken advantage of."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Columbia, SC

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
