"The Groundworks folks (formerly Bay Area Underpinning) applied their foundation-underpinning technology and expertise to extend to bedrock, level, square up the foundation for an extensive house remodel. I was most impressed by the young man onsite supervisor, Josh who answered all my work done, how and why questions. I wish this info was provided up front by the estimator. (My design-build remodel contractor referred this company). "

"Sure Safe came out as promised, thoroughly inspected the foundation via the crawlspace and gave me a detailed report and estimate within a few days. Art was very generous with his time and honesty in speaking with me after the report was delivered."

"I have been really impressed with them. We have always had really terrific experiences with them. They are pretty much our go-to if we need small repairs that we are not able to do ourselves. They are a very old company. They have been in town for many many years and they are locally owned. They are just really really good folks to work with. They tend to do larger jobs and we have certainly had them in to do major construction but when we have small repairs like plumbing repairs or something that we are not able to do either time wise or skill wise, they are always available to do that at a real fair price. They are very prompt and really really thorough. We would definitely use them again in the future."

"Dan went above and beyond as a Contractor. We were having a great deal of difficulty with our Insurance Agent. We were doing everything he requested but it was never enough OR something we had no idea how to handle (ie, what questions we should ask regarding permits, estimates, and other details we felt the Insurance Agent had surely dealt with in other circumstances but he was putting on our shoulders). From a list of agents, provided by the Insurance company, we fortuitously picked Morgan Construction. He held our hand, he fought on our behalf, he became a voice of reason between ourselves and the Company. He gave us several months of his time which we are eternally grateful for. The work he performed was impeccable."

"We previously hired Comet for an emergency major leak in one of our bathrooms (significant enough that we had to turn the water off in our entire house). The owner came by late at night and didn't quit until leak's sealed and water back up and running. He was professional and courteous and gave us several options instead of pushing one way or another. So when we've finally decided to re-pipe our house we called on Comet. Again, we were given several options and were given updates every step of the job. <br /> In the 3 days it took to finish the job, he was very methodical and organized that we were never without water running at the end of the day. We appreciate his respect for our time (he would show up right when he said he would and called if he's held up somewhere else). The job was inherently messy but another thing that we appreciate is his respect for our space/place. He was careful not to make too much of a mess and left everything in order. We would definitely recommend him to our friends and family. <br />"

"A great experience through the whole process. Chris Hardy was the first person to come and take a look at our project. He was super informative, took his time, answered any questions I had on the spot, and came up with a thorough "rough draft" plan for our foundation repair/leveling. James Nicolas was next to come up and perform his tasks and was kind, thorough, and made sure everything was correct prior to the engineering portion of the job. Engineering went smoothly and the communication through this process was great. I even resubmitted a couple portions of the drawings for update and Zack Lavely was very helpful to discuss and update the plan. When all was said and ready to rock, Aveena Lewis was helpful in getting me scheduled and confirming that I was set for the job after reading about what I needed to do in order to be prepared. When the crew arrived on Tuesday morning, Gabriel Leyva, Octavio, Antonio, and Antonio (yeah, 2 awesome Antonios!) were all ready to rock. Each of them are kind and super hard workers. Watching them work was like watching a finely tuned machine. Their synergy was awesome. Gabriel was so kind and knowledgeable and even explained a couple things we'd need to tackle in order to not have a big bay window break, along with making sure inspection passes. Lastly, Lindsey (spelling?) was amazing to speak with over the phone. She is who I communicated with to make payments and will be coming out to do the final walkthrough and inspections to ensure everything is done right and up to code. So kind, so helpful, truly a delight to speak with. I would happily recommend Foundation Repair of CA to folks in our area and hope they get the same team we had. Top notch!"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Santa Cruz, 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.
