"The crew from Foundation Support Specialists, which included Hector Roman, Eddie Sanchez, Ricky Rodrigez, and Mark Willis, did a fantastic job installing piers under the stem wall between my garage and house, and also encapsulating and insulating the crawl space in my basement! They worked quickly and tirelessly to get both jobs done despite having to work in 95+ degree weather with no air conditioning. They were all very courteous and took great efforts to keep the areas they were working on clean of any debris. I will definitely use them again for any future foundation work, and highly recommend them for similar work for anyone needing these types of services."

"So far so good, still waiting on a correction on the invoice prior to work starting. Enrique and his crew would not begin the repair until a free evaluation of the entire foundation was done. This was obviously done to ensure there were no other issues causing the damage. This was a plus and great to know."

"About a year and a half ago, my wife and I bought a pier-and-bean house and did some renovation work before moving in. Unfortunately, after spending some time in the house with our stuff, we realized the parts of the house were shifting and sinking -- the clay soil in the area where we live is notorious for regular movement. We were connected with Pete Flores from PHL Foundation Repair to complete the work, and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the outcome. Pete responded to our initial phone call right away, and he promptly came out and described a plan to add more piers and beam to the existing foundation to remedy the problems we were having. He outlined the costs and put together a drawing to detail the work, and he was also eager to go under the house, show me face-to-face exactly what the problems were, and discuss possible plans to remedy them. He arrived as planned and on time with a crew of no fewer than 8 to stop the bowing in two areas of the house. He was there every day of the job and always listened to and answered every question we had (and we had many!). As the job progressed, my wife and I soon realized we needed a solution much more comprehensive than we originally planned. This conclusion wasn't reached by Pete trying to sell me on a new foundation, but rather it came from careful thought and a weighing of several different options he gave after my wife and I had asked him a number of questions about other issues we had noticed with the foundation. What was originally planned for a 2-3 week project ended up expanding to about 8 weeks and became the full foundation repair that we really needed. In the end we had about 65 concrete piers poured (he was able to re-use about 15 to save us money) and we installed about 15 piers to go underneath concrete walls/slabs (did I mention we have a Frankenstein foundation?). We also added 100+ feet of beam, countless support boards to strengthen the existing floor joists, and more bolts and nails that any one person can count. Also, we completed a full leveling of the house; it badly needed it after bending all around over the past 75+ years! There were 8-10 men under the house each day for full days of work during the timeframe Pete discussed, and Pete himself was on-site nearly every single day (and had his #2 in charge there daily) under and inside the house. He also was present for the actually lifting of the house, and he made sure to keep the process minimally aggressive in an effort to limit damage from the process (we had minimal cracking of sheetrock and some separation of baseboards from the floor; to be expected when raising the house 5+ inches in some parts!). After the process was done, he also repaired our stucco skirting (which now looks professionally done) and added some air vents. Throughout the entire process, Pete and his team were conscientious, transparent, and highly responsive. He knowledgably answered every single call and text (morning, night, and weekend), and he would contact me on the very occasional days during that time when his team couldn't come out to work because of pouring rain that prevented piers from being poured or jacking from taking place. He also took off his shoes, without being asked, every single time he came into the house. This kind of thoughtfulness made it easy to leave him in charge while my wife and I were at work for the day. We came home, Pete was still there working, and he sought us out to share about anything that came up along the way and his plans to address those matters. Pete is hands down the GO-TO foundation guy in town, the real deal, and we wouldn't trust anyone else other than him for all things foundation. He knows what to do, can execute effectively, stands by his work, cares for his customers, and wants his solution to be the final one for foundation repairs. His reputation as THE in-town foundation fixer precedes him. This is the guy to go to, and his team is the team to use. In fact, later on when I noticed an earthy smell in the crawl space below the house (it's unfinished and can get a little humid) and considered encapsulating it, Pete came right over, talked things through with me, helped identify a much better solution (and kept us from making a costly mistake!), and came up with a solid plan to improve air flow under the house as well as address our exterior drainage difficulties as well. Clearly I'm gushing, but you would too if you wanted to spread the good word about a top home pro in the greater San Antonio area."

"We had great experience with Terminix providing inside and outside services.  They were slighty more expensive than others that we researched, but found them to be worth the money.  They have always provided extremely prompt service whenever we have needed their services.  They also are very responsive outside of regulary scheduled appointments."

"I really appreciate David Wells coming out to evaluate my foundation and the need for repair. David was very professional, answered all my questions, and gave me peace of mind about any needed repairs. Moreover, David did not try to give me a hard sell. I was totally impressed by this and believe that Olshan Foundation Repair is a company that you can really trust. That means a lot in this day and age. I really enjoyed David's visit and learned a lot from our conversation. I will definitely recommend Olshan for foundation repair in the future."

"I cannot recommend A Frame enough. I was leveling and area for an unground pool. Well, my back yard has a significant slope and I had no idea what I was doing. Gene came out, gave me some suggestions and quoted me a reasonable price. He did what he was supposed to do, but went above and beyond. He fortified the leveled area to ensure the weight of the pool would not be an issue after it rains. He also noticed I was doing some landscaping improvements in my front yard. He brought over some things he was removing from another job and helped my yard look even better. A-Frame looks at your house as an advertisement for their business. Very thankful for this company and will use them again as need arrises."

"I had a new roof just over a week from contacting Texas Showcase Roofing. I would have had one sooner except rain gave them a couple day delay from when Raymond originally told me. I was extremely satisfied with both the timeliness and quality of there work. Raymond didn't try to sell anything more than I needed, and even offered a free upgrade from what my insurance company was saying. They started the job in the morning and were finished by the end of the day. I have already recommended them to two other people, and will continue to recommenced them to anyone in the area that I hear needs roof repair. <br />"

"Highly professional every step of the way, from the first contact to the last inspection of completed work. Speed-Dry president, representatives and office personnel provided excellent communication. They were available to answer questions, even outside of normal business hours. The dry-out process was completed promptly. The workers who came to our home were respectful and skilled in repair, drywall replacement, finishing and painting. It was obvious they took pride in their work. They were very careful to protect or move furniture, draperies, wall hangings, ceiling fans, cabinets and appliances (including the refrigerator) so these would not get construction dust or paint on them. They matched our paint color perfectly. They cleaned up after their work. We were surprised at how quickly the work was completed and are very satisfied with the whole experience. Representatives including estimator also understood exactly what was required by our insurance company and because of their thoroughness our claim was processed smoothly. <br />"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in San Marcos, 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.
