"Schyler arrived at the appointed time explained the the process and how the equipment worked. After he finished he walked me through the completed work. He had cleaned up all the leftover residue explaining if there was any further movement in the work there was a five year warranty and he would return to correct it at no additional cost."

"I contacted Foundations First NorthWest and a couple of other contractors when an inspection revealed some foundation settling and crawl space damage. I chose Foundations First to make the repairs because they included more work, and at a lower price, than their competitors. I can't say enough about how professional everyone at Foundations First NorthWest was, from the first meeting with the sales rep to the constant communication with office staff throughout the project. Every step was completed without a hitch -- getting permits, engineering, the repair work and county inspections. The work crews worked quickly and efficiently on both the installation of stabilizing foundation piers, and also on the crawl space repairs. And they left the work areas in a very clean condition. I highly recommend Foundations First!"

"We had an amazing experience with this company. We worked with Byron and he did a fantastic job. Very professional, knowledgeable and they were able to get the job done quickly. We had several quotes about our foundation but Byron was by far the most knowledgeable and we were so happy with the price. We are so happy with his work and will definitely be recommending him! We have reached out to him and he is always happy to help. So glad we chose this company!"

"WARNING!!They will take advantage of you. Save thousands by calling SERVPRO or any other reputable company! I am a business owner with multiple locations. We have always used Servpro when we have had a broken pipe, damaged sprinkler head or septic issue. In the last incident, family friends, who own a local septic clog removal service suggested using 1-800-water damage instead of Servpro, as they heard they were cheaper. The manager did call them. I was shocked at the people who arrived. The appearance of the people was unprofessional to say the least. Next they cam in and asked why are we here as there is no water. I explained the employees had cleaned the water from the broken sprinkler head, and that our concern was with the insulation in the attic around the pipe where we could not get to. They stated they had to get someone to asbestos test the insulation and that would rush that. They then started walking around stating they may need to pull up our WATERPROOF luxury vinyl flooring we had installed only 5 years ago!! I said absolutely not and asked why would you even think that and they said well it could damage the floor under…. Our floors are cement slab and the vinyl was commercial and professionally installed. The water had only come from the pipe for roughly 5 mins before the water was shut off. I knew then that these guys either didn’t know what they were doing, or more likely were looking to make the most money they could off each job regardless of the need. They then walked around chatting finally took some hand held moisture testers which they mostly used while walking not on any of they walls. They ended up leaving many dehumidifiers for a building that had a small amount of water in the front part of the entry only. Three days later they call saying that they have to put multiple holes in our interior walls and pump on air to dry out they walls!!! I asked them why and they said they had detected moisture. I asked them in which walls of our over 6000 sq ft building as none of the walls were wet and they had commercial base on the bottom so only minimal if any water could have gotten at the very bottom only before it was cleaned up. He answer “umm well… all of them” he wanted the punch multiple holes in each wall throughout my building! I said he was being insane. That the water didn’t hit 3/4 of the building. I told him I wanted to see moisture readings from the walls in the back and he said well…. “It’s more that we detected moisture in the hall entryway …. Not on the walls themselves”. I told him that if he where to do this we would have to shut our business down because every room would have big machines. We likely would loose multiple clients and potentially tens of thousands of dollars and then we would have to pay to repair the walls on top of that. There was no way for a small and brief water damage to have caused this devastating result when the floors hadn’t even been exposed to water for most of the building. They had never even tried to take sample or remove the wet insulation which was our only real concern. Finally I told them I was going to call Servpro for a second opinion and this young man then said that it wasn’t up to me! That the building owner had signed off ….. A COMPLETE LIE… I called SERVPRO, who came out stated first, the building had no need for that much dehumidifier. Second that simply removing a small bit of the rubber base cove in the entrance would allow the air to dry the very minimal amount of water on the very edge of the Sheetrock behind the base cove. Additionally, they said that as interior walls that have no insulation in them, that there was no need to put holes in any walls as the water would not accumulate there without insulation to hold it. They said it was clear this company 1-800 was trying to get tens of thousands of dollars from us when it was completely unnecessary. The worst part is they knew we would loose customers possibly have to permanently shut down and had no care they just think oh well that is what insurance is for!"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Vancouver, WA

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.
