"Several months ago, I noticed that doors in my house were no longer closing and latching. Specifically, my front door no longer locked completely. Once I got it fully locked I could no longer open my front door anymore, so I knew I had foundation issues. I called Bay Area Underpinning to come look at my foundation and do some measurements. We discovered that my front living room was sinking approximately one and a half to 2 inches. The crew, Lance Sladek, Jake Hall, and Eddie Shaw, crawled under my house and dug 30 to 40 foot holes in the ground to install piers that would lift my foundation. These gentlemen worked in very cramped dirty conditions in 90-100° weather. I was extremely happy with their work and their dedication to doing the job correctly. My after the foundation lift, my front door as well as several other doors in my home were able to close and latch again."

"We are completely satisfied with our backyard, where we wanted to do a complete renovation, making our yard more beautiful and usable, for games with friends, easy access for my dogs and everything else! From the beginning Brian helped us with the choice of materials, locations, colors and many great suggestions. Our Project Manager, Delmar, and Brian did an excellent job updating us and communicating and always responded quickly to any questions or concerns. We had a tight deadline for our project because we wanted to finish before 06/01 - he did our entire project quickly and efficiently! I want to thank you very much, I am very happy, I recommend Geico Builders and together with Brian for all your projects! I hope to work with him soon on our front yard, after all I only have good things to say!"

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"Overall, it went excellent. First and mainly, after over 4 months, we are simply delighted with having this liner in the crawlspace. Allergies that were bugging me for the past 7 or so years are gone. Can't say it will affect others that way, but for me, it did -- granted, we had done a lot of research and also cleaned up down there thoroughly prior to finally installing this liner. The liner was the final touch, the part that we did to help maintain the cleanliness.
John, the person who comes to give the estimate, won me over completely; he's just very honest and sincere. And that was the final point that made me decide to go with Clean Crawlspace and not another company that had come to give an estimate. I'd read that Clean Crawlspace prices are more sometimes, but for us it was only some $150 more, but that was worth it to me for other value I felt we would be getting.
David, the owner, is simply wonderful to work with too--so nice and accommodating. I had many questions before we started and he responded quickly and thoroughly to my inquires.
The job took 4 full days. We had some tricky places to seal in, where our cinder block base around the perimeter was missing and the foreman was not sure of the best way to proceed on those (though he had ideas), so he erred on the side of caution, until he was able to get David's advice. There was a little miscommunication between us and foreman in that regard, but David cleared it up immediately via phone, and bent over backwards to be sure we were also satisfied. They did everything and went beyond the call of duty to be sure we were comfortable and satisfied.
John came out and checked everything, too. He also offered to come out during the rainy season to check the tricky areas. They are confident it will be fine, but he offered to do this to give me peace of mind. (That visit hasn't happened yet, since there's not yet been rain.)
I'm just very pleased with the product and the customer service, which is excellent. They are like your friends.
...One note to be aware of: after putting in the lining, after about 3 months, we noticed that the oak floor (original from 1948, with the nail holes in full view and everything) must have dried up some as there are now cracks between the wall and the oak floor that were not there before. It is not everywhere and in the widest area it is only 5mm. Our general contractor was here the other day, and he agrees with us that it must be from the planks drying out, from the reduction of humidity in the crawlspace. I don't know if that would happen with newer floors, but it is something to be aware of. Anyway, we have no problem with this, and plan to simply apply some oak-colored caulking, because the reduction in the humidity and the disappearance of those irritating allergy symptoms has been WELL worth this little inconvenience.
We haven't yet used the crawlspace as a storage area, but it is definitely possible with the lining there. Needless to say, service workers who've had to go under there are thrilled with the liner (we had to have a plumber check something, and also a pest control check something). My husband is hoping that he won't have to go under there anymore, anyway, with all the clean up and the final point of this liner keeping it all clean, and so far, so good.

"The service was excellent. In March of 2016, he came out to check 7 water heaters to make sure there were no problems and no chance that one of them would break down or stop functioning. He is a very conscientious contractor that would look out for your needs. The price was right, as well."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Oakland, CA

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.
