"If you want to have your foundation waterproofing job done the right way, then I recommend that you have Dani and Sealtech Waterproofing take care of the project for you. They are extremely honest, hardworking, skilled and professional. When I had their work inspected by the County Building Department, the inspector termed their quality of work as "outstanding". After waterproofing I also had them backfill the foundation which was also performed to the same high standards. Everything was completed at a cost that was more than fair. I first contacted Sealtech because of the good reviews I had read about them, but now I'm happy to make the same kind of recommendation based on my own personal experience."

"Gerber and his teammates Edwin and Kyriee did a great job. They completed the basement waterproofing quickly and professionally. They had to carry a large number of bags of concrete debris up a slippery grass slope, and they did this without complaint. Thank you guys for a job well done."

"I will start by saying that the work they did waterproofing our basement looks good, and I am hopeful that it has fixed our problem. We've had a good bit of rain recently, and so far, so good. That, of course, is the most important thing. That said, I chose this company, even though they were on the high range of the quotes I received, because I did not mind paying more for a professional experience and great customer service. I was disappointed with this aspect of the experience. The day they were scheduled to begin they never showed up, and I ended up calling them three times that day. The woman in the office was responsive, but she said that they did not know where they were. The next scheduled appointment was for the morning, and they did not end up coming until 2pm, again without any communication. Both instances were due to car issues, but a phone call to keep me updated would have been appreciated to allow me to better plan my day. When they did start the work the crew leader was friendly and appeared to know what he was doing, but he offered little information about the job unless I asked. Prior to the work being done, I also had to keep after the sales representative to put their warranty in writing. Twice he promised to email it to me, and only after contacting him a third time did he send it through. If I had not paid so much (over $11,000) I would have given them another star, but at this price point my expectations were high."

"The team worked diligently and professionally to Waterproof my basement after hurricane Helene caused water to come into my basement. They had to dig down into the foundation, fix the crack and apply waterproofing underneath my patio. While we haven’t had any big time rain since then, it’s been working against any kind of rain happening so far he also guarantees his work which gives peace of mind. They also encapsulated my crawlspace. It looks very professional and well done. It helps keep the humidity down in my crawlspace, and thus and the rest of my house. I would certainly recommend them to anybody who needs waterproofing solutions."

"<p>We had some questions about some problems under the house. A man came out and explained to me what they could offer to try to solve those problems. They call it the doctor energy specialist or something, I don?t know. It?s about removing moisture and other things from under the house and making sure the ducts are properly attached and that they are insulated properly. That the house insulation is proper and they sealed most of the vents to keep the wet air from coming in. They put in a dehumidifier and all that stuff. They did a large amount of work. They put in a new moisture barrier and corrected some problems that we already paid somebody to do and they didn?t do. They even attached the dryer duct, which wasn?t attached and the air was going out all under the house. They were very very good. They did what they said. They took all the trash and everything they found out from under there. This whole experience has been a nightmare. Those people at GSM were super. The inspection he did not charge us for, but we put an amount down on the work they were going to start doing. It was excellent because he went under the house, he took pictures of all the things he was going to tell me about, and then he explained the different treatments that were available and the prices for those treatments. And what particular things they would correct. It was very clear and he was very good about answering my questions. He seemed very experienced. </p> <p> </p>"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Hickory, NC

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.
