A Full-Service Basement Waterproofing Company in Smithfield, VA

At BAY Crawl Space & Foundation Repair, we offer a wide range of solutions to address all the most common causes of water infiltration in your basement. Keep reading to learn more about the services we offer.

Basement Inspection

Before we start any waterproofing work, we will conduct a thorough inspection of your basement to identify sources of water intrusion. We use advanced technology such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect moisture and identify areas where water is entering your basement.

French Drain Installation

A French drain is a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe that is installed around the perimeter of the foundation. This system collects and channels groundwater away from the foundation, preventing water from entering the basement. Our team has extensive experience in French drain installation and can design a system that is tailored to your home’s unique needs.

Sump Pump Installation

A sump pump is a device that is installed to remove water that accumulates in your basement. It works with your French drain to quickly eliminate water as it enters, especially during times of flooding. We install high-quality sump pumps that are designed to handle the high water volume that is common in Hampton Roads, VA.

Vapor Barrier Installation

A vapor barrier is a sheet of plastic that is installed on the basement walls and floor to prevent moisture from seeping into the basement. This barrier helps to prevent mold growth and protects the foundation and walls from water damage. It can also help direct water into your drains and towards your sump pump.

Basement Crack and Foundation Repair

If there are cracks in the basement walls or floor, water can seep into the basement through these openings. We provide professional basement crack repair services to seal any cracks or gaps in the basement walls or floor, preventing water intrusion and further structural damage.

How to Tell if You Need Basement Waterproofing

Sometimes, it’s easy to tell if you have water in your basement, especially if you have flooding or obvious signs of water damage. However, if your basement is finished, it can be much harder to recognize a problem until it is too late. Here are some signs to look for:

• A damp or musty smell
• Damp spots or soft sheetrock
• Wet spots on the floor or walls
• Visible mold or dark spots
• Issues with allergies or asthma
• High levels of humidity
• Warped floorboards

All of these are signs that you could have a moisture problem in your basement. That is why it is always a good idea to contact a professional waterproofing company at the first sign of a problem.

Why Basement Waterproofing Is Essential to Your Home

Basement waterproofing is one of the best investments you can make in your home. Some of the benefits of basement waterproofing include:

• Reduced risk of mold growth and respiratory issues due to mold
• Improve the indoor air quality in your home and eliminate musty or unpleasant odors
• Reduce the risk of structural damage that could be costly to repair
• Protect your home from electrical hazards that could otherwise pose a fire risk
• Lower your risk of pest infestations
• Increase the value of your home

These are just some of the excellent reasons to invest in waterproofing at your home. Contact us today to learn more about the benefits of basement waterproofing.

How Basement Waterproofing Works

Step 1: Basement Inspection

We will start by inspecting both the interior and exterior of your basement to determine any points of entry. Then, we will let you know what we find and work with you to find a cost-effective solution.

Step 2: Installation

After our inspection, we can begin work right away. This can include sump pump installation, French drain installation, or vapor barrier installation. We’ll work quickly and be sure to clean up any mess when we are done.

Bay Crawlspace actually completed some work on our previous house at 249 Brickhaven Dr. in 2015. Thanks for your assistance.

The house was built 2008 and is on a hill. This is a big purchase for us and I was wondering if you would be willing to tell us if we need a more thorough inspection about the foundation and an estimate how much it costs to repair the cracks and the crawl space? We have 7 days now to decide what the owners need to repair and what we will cover on repairs. I am also happy to provide you with the home inspection. My husband is not that worried about it but me and and my dad are. The houses here are so different built than in Germany where I am from and we just dont know. what is normal and what is concerning. Thank you so much.
