"When we purchased our home in 2017, there was already a crack across the top 2 segments of the driveway where that area had sunk quite a bit. Besides the cosmetic issue, we felt this subsidence was also a tripping hazard. After researching online and using Angi, I found GROUNDWORKS (formerly FSS: Foundation Support Specialists) who came out to give an estimate. Ricardo showed up on time with advanced warning of his ETA. He was thorough and left me with a color-coded bid. Some of the driveway and sidewalk leading to the front door were going to be lifted, and some parts stabilized using the foam injection method. Even though I received bids from 2 other companies, I chose GROUNDWORKS for their 5-year warranty and mid-level pricing. All companies were 4.5 stars or higher on both Google and Angi. On the job day, they arrived on time. The job was completed in about 2 hours. I am very happy with the results."

This could have been a horrible review but something happened to change my mind. Last year I had an estimate from Abry Brothers to lift and stabilize the foundation on one corner of my rental house.  There were step cracks in the brick, cracks in the interior sheetrock and windows that were stuck on that side of the house.  Estimate was in line with other companies.  Did a little research and decided on Abry Brothers because of how long they have been in business, my real estate agent recommended either them or U.S.S., and we really felt confident in the opinion of the supervisor who gave the estimate. His name was Keris.  He seemed very knowledgeable and earned our trust. I finally called to schedule an appointment.  Work was scheduled to put five piers in the back corner of the house.  Workers showed up on time and they put the piers.  They did not, however, back fill the soil that was removed or fix the cracks in the brick mortar.  We were told by Rudy Bautista, the crew supervisor, that the piers had to settle and they would have to come back to complete the work.  While they were there Rudy spoke to me about renting the house, an agreement was reached on the rental, he signed a lease and moved in.  In the meantime, I asked him several times about completing the work.  He always promised to do it within the next few days but it never happened. Finally after two months I told him that even though he was my tenant, I was going to call Abry Brothers headquarters and complain if the work wasn't completed by the next weekend.  It was never done so I called Abry Brothers to make a complaint.  To my surprise, they told me that Rudy had been fired weeks ago.  He was still driving an Abry Brothers car so I had no indication that he had lost his job. Eventually I had to have him evicted.  I made another appointment for Abry Brothers to come up to inspect and complete the work.  This time Keris came.  They discovered that only four, not five piers were put in but the house had no further sinking.  They put in the fifth pier, back filled the soil around the area and fixed the cracks in the mortar. It took a long time to get the work completed because of a dishonest employee but they remedied that problem and fired him. Keris and the crew that he brought to finally complete the project were wonderful.  They did a great job and I am finally confident that the work was done correctly.  The house looks great.  Thank you Abry Brothers, and especially Keris, for making things right.

"Willie and his team did fantastic work. After contacting numerous other "foundation experts", Willie provided the best plan and backed it up with his overall knowledge and certification/training in basement/foundation repair. He and his team do great work and take no short-cuts when it comes to the overall quality of the work. He also was very flexible when other requests were made and he gladly accommodated. He has a passion for his business, customers and takes great pride in his work. The basement and porch are now fixed and look great. Best of all is that we have confidence the work performed will last."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Galveston, TX

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.
