Many homes built on crawl space foundations in the Virginia area suffer from poor moisture management. A healthy home can be ruined by crawl space moisture and the humidity can become a health and safety problem for you and your family. Symptoms of asthma can flare up and some forms of black mold from crawl space water damage can even be fatal. Of course, this means that mold or water damage in the crawl space is nothing to wait on. Crawl space repair should never be left for later because it can not only affect the stability and safety of your home and its structural integrity, but it can also affect the health and safety of you and your family over time.

We offer a multitude of masonry services at Reliable Waterproofing & Masonry. Whatever you need, we can help. Masonry work can be one of the most important things when it comes to the value of a home. It adds beauty, appeal, and oftentimes masonry can make the home last longer. Retaining walls are used to add support for many things such as landscaping or farming, but did you know that basement walls are also considered retaining walls? We have options for you to choose from for your retaining wall projects and we can help you decide which of these options are best suited to your needs.

Sump pumps are the heart of a good waterproofing system. In many homes, the sump pumps are old, unreliable, and create moisture and health problems in their basements or crawl spaces. The "builder's grade" sump pumps that many of us have are unreliable and inefficient, and they do not provide the features we need. Today, very efficient high capacity sump pumps are available, like the ECP BSP50. Now you can change out your old sump pump with a new modern sump pump. Modern sealed sump pump installation is highly reliable and runs at optimal performance levels.

When pressure is put on your foundation walls and floor from the excess water around your foundation, that pressure can cause water to leak in through walls and floor cracks. Most people use their basement for either a living space or storage space. Moisture and water in this space can cause mold and mildew. This can lead to an unhealthy home. So much of the air we breathe comes from our basement or our crawlspace. Because of this, it is so important to keep your basement dry. A wet basement in your Virginia home can lead to the breakdown of foundation walls, and even to foundation failure if left untreated over time.

One of the best ways to maintain a good foundation and dry basement is to have adequate yard drainage on your property. A skilled basement waterproofing company, such as Reliable Waterproofing & Masonry, can inspect your home for signs of water problems so you can prevent foundation failure. If you have water in your yard, we are the basement waterproofing experts to help keep water from pooling in your yard and prevent basement flooding. If the water surrounding your foundation is due to gutter issues, try cleaning your gutters regularly.
