"We purchased a new home and soon realized that the crawl space was not only damp but that standing water was collecting right underneath the furnace and we were already getting mold on some floor joists. We sought out three estimates. I was most impressed with Moisture Loc. Jon Patrick did the inspection and estimate. He was the most professional and thorough (I don't think one of the men even went into the crawlspace). He proposed thoughtful and practical solutions for our situation and not a "one size fits all" solution. As a result, their estimate was the best. We decided to split the job in half due to financial constraints. Moisture Loc was perfectly fine with this. They even allowed us to pay with a credit card and make two monthly payments after the work was complete. We did the first part of the job in Oct. 2010 which consisted of installing a drain around the entire crawlspace, installing a sump pump and wiping down the floor joists for mold. Everything went fine with this job. The crew were prompt, friendly and fast and the job cost exactly as was estimated. I wanted to see if this partial solution might take care of most of the problem. When it was clear by July 2011 it would not, Jon Patrick came out again to confirm my suspicions that the humidity in the crawl space was still too high. Moisture Loc honored their original estimate and finished the second half of the job in August. Again, the job went off without a hitch. Andy is the supervisor and runs a tight ship. He is very good about communicating the logistics of the job. The crew got going soon after I gave the OK and again finished promptly. Moisture Loc again allowed us to split the amount due into two monthly credit card payments after they completed the job. There were no up front costs. That option is an incredible benefit and one you won't find very often in the construction industry. If I have one complaint, it's that the work crews can be rough on surrounding plants/landscape and their clean up is a little wanting. I found black spray paint on our white gravel driveway rocks where apparently some overspray had occurred and also numerous plastic bits in the mulch. Overall I'm very satisfied with the quality and value of the work and recommend them without reservation."

"They were very responsive, came out promptly, and required little supervision from me- we just discussed what the problem was and they were familiar with the house already because they had been here before. It was reasonably priced for the work that they did. Since the repairs were done, my house has been so dry and I don't have any mice this winter!

"It was a dead tree next to the driveway. It could have been a dangerous take down but it all worked fine and he cleaned up beautifully. I have no complain, it was perfect. He came out promptly and came when he said he would. We were not home when they came by, we knew that ahead of time and he said it was fine so we just mailed him the check."

"John and Josh were polite and competent. Third new GFI and this is first time I think the job was done right and completely sealed unit. New outlet in attic was done properly.
Called before they came. Came when they said they would.
Price seemed reasonable."

"I didn't end up getting the house, so no services were performed, but Chris Manus came out to discuss the scope and price to finish a partially-remodeled home in Belmont (a complete remodel of a 1500 sqft house including HVAC, electrical and plumbing.) He was very professional and helpful. His suggestions and ideas were in line with everything I wanted and he was helpful with deciding what's possible with a space. He did quote a price, but that was just a verbal estimation. However, it was very reasonable considering the amount of work.
I will definitely be contacting him when I get my next project!

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in York, SC

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
