"After a short delay for weather, they came in and cleaned out the refuse/trash that HVAC and others services had left, then quickly went about their business. The sealing, dehumidifier (you have to change the filter regularly) and sump pump setup works well without any issues (and has been for its entirity). We are selling the house so I called and talked with Tina because the new potential buyer wants them to re-inspect and validate the warranty. There is a charge for this unless there is an issue with the system. But, there is no problem - and it is totally reasonable. I will pass that on to the buyer and will invite them to come into the crawlspace to see the good work that has held up so well since installation. I would definitely recommend them. The previous owner had another company "waterproof it" and it was not working properly and was not under warranty (i was told the warranty did not transer when I got quotes)."

"This company did an excellent job waterproofing our basement.  We recommend them to everybody.  We haven't had a lick of water since they finished our basement about five or six years ago.  Before they came out we used to have up to four inches of standing water in our basement after a hard rain."

"Garland Caudle was a pleasure to work with. He is friendly, professional, and punctual. His crew got the new braces installed quickly, and were back immediately after the waterproofing was done to grout behind them. Garland stayed involved throughout the entire job, and even sent me a thank you note afterwards! I would most definitely recommend this company for any foundation repairs."

"As a courtesy to take some of the work off Mr. Pair, I called 811 a week or so in advance to have my utilities marked in or near the work site. Mr. Pair and three of his crew members arrived on 08/17/2013 around 9:15 A.M., and quickly began unloading their trucks of the tools, supplies, and the excavator they needed to do the job. I could quickly tell this wasn't their first rodeo, as they each knew their responsibilities and where they needed to be at each given time. One man hand dug down beside the foundation of my house to find the cracked footing. Once that was found he used a jack hammer to remove the concrete applied by the previous failed correction initiated by the brick mason 6 - 8 months prior. Once the area was cleaned out for a clear view a second crew man used the excavator to make the hole beside my house both wider and deeper. After this was complete the third crewman detached the bucket from the excavator and attached a type of drill auger. He manipulated the galvanized base of the pier into the hole and connected the auger which then began screwing into the ground. The crew knows how far to drill when 20 + metal pins inserted into the drill attachment begin to snap and break (this indicates the tension to support my homes foundation has been reached), and they can stop the process. A crewman then disconnects the auger device from the galvanized pole of the pier and uses a type of saw to cut the pole below ground level. Once this is complete a 38lb galvanized metal plate is positioned over the top of the pole, slid down to the base of my foundation and swiveled around to fit under the foundation. The metal plate is drilled into the concreted foundation while large bolts hold the plate to the pier pole. Once this is complete the bucket is hooked back up to the excavator the hole is filled in and they moved to the next spot where my second helical pier was needed to be installed. The process was repeated until lunch time which they used to go back to the shop to pick up some additional pins. Within less than an hour they returned to my house and resumed the process. Within close proximity of the second spot were two fairly large diseased shrubs. I asked if they would use the excavator to remove those for which they did free of charge (even carrying them down to the street for yard waste pickup). After the second pier was installed, and the hole covered they began removing the mortar from the cracked wall, and replacing with a mortar that matched my house better than that previously used by the brick mason. They cleaned up behind themselves, loaded up, and were finished by 3:15 P.M. the same day. Mr. Pair allowed me to pay half the balance then and post date a check for the second installment to be cashed in 30 days. This was a positive project from start to finish, with my only regret being not finding Pair Foundation Solutions sooner. <br /> <br /> <br />"

"The crew showed up a little late, but we were having a terrible snow and ice storm that day. They were having trouble getting here due to the roads. Upon arrival, they quickly scraped the bedroom ceiling and retextured it . I had another water stain in the living room which they also sprayed some paint on. You cannot even tell that the ceiling was ever damaged in the bedroom. I noticed that the stain in the living room is sort of coming back. I have not called them, but they told me that if it came back, they would come back and put another coat of paint on it. I will call them today."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Knoxville, AL

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.
