The combination of intense weather, inadequate/decaying drainage systems, and local topography can easily lead to water accumulation in basements aka “bricks sweating”, creating risks to both property and health, and you’ll eventually begin seeing black mold symptoms. Most people need either a French drainage system and/or waterproofing on the exterior and interior. One of the primary causes of basement leaks/exterior water intrusion is called hydrostatic pressure. It's a natural force exerted by groundwater against the foundation walls and floor of your basement. As the soil surrounding your home becomes saturated with rainwater, the excess water creates pressure against your foundation. You’ll see a discoloration of the cinder blocks going from light grey to dark grey in a wavy pattern with a white chalk dividing the color changes. You may need waterproofing, mold remediation, interior French Drainage System and/or an crawlspace encapsulation. The good news is that encapsulating your crawl space is a great way to improve the condition and value of your home.

Drainage System Installation [150 feet] Helps To Redirect Water Away From The Property. Keeping your crawl space and basement dry as a desert. Part 2, French Drainage System
Phase 1The sooner you call us the better. The better it is to limit the water damages that usually leads to mold, mildew, and heavy moisture. Our technicians utilize moisture meters, air scrubbers, and other tools to remove the negative air and to improve the air quality, which is vitally important to your health.
And if you’re one of those properties that require a French Drainage System, then you’re in luck. A french drain will redirect the water away from your home. There are a few occupations when your home has a high water table count, and requires an interior french drain in your crawlspace with a sump pump to keep the river of water out of your crawlspace and back outside, rather than an external drainage system. Our water damage restoration work comes with a 10 year warranty! We stand behind our work and take pride in giving our clients a peace of mind.
Our Mold & Water Damage Inspection Comes With Full Loss Assessment Report
Initially, an important piece of documentation that relates to restoration activities is the Initial Inspection and Loss Assessment Report. Mold testing from the mold samples help us determine toxicity levels and the dangers of exposure; we provide a detailed scientific laboratory report for court depositions, legal cases, and civil cases dealing with mold contamination. Information included in an Initial Inspection and Loss Assessment Report includes, according to (IICRC S500 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Water Damage Restoration):
o Identification and evaluation of health concerns and safety hazards
o Determination of the source of water intrusion
o Determination of the need to protect floor coverings and contents
o Determination of the extent of moisture intrusion
o Determination of the job scope and costs
o Evaluation of flooring materials
o Evaluation of inventories and/or content items
o Evaluation of the HVAC system
o Evaluation of basements and crawl spaces
o Assessment of other structural materials (walls, ceilings, etc.)
o Documentation of pre-existing conditions not related to the current loss
o Established drying goals (based on dry standards).
Water could be entering your home from faulty gutters, holes in your foundation, or cracks from your ceiling or trees with large roots. And in rare cases you may have a highwater table issue that causes water to sporadically rise two to three feet in your crawlspace. We will figure it out for you. We do offer French Drainage System installation, along with gutter installation, foundation crack repairs, and waterproofing. If your home is flooded then this would be considered an emergency—we are open for flood emergency calls 24/7 for those early morning, late-night calls. Contact us so that we can schedule one of our mold/water damage restoration technicians.
