Dependable Crawl Space & Basement Repair Company Serving Newark, DE

Recently in Newark, Delaware, a homeowner reached out to us with a pressing issue in their home. They had noticed persistent standing water in their concrete floor crawlspace, a problem that not only threatened the structural integrity of their home but also the health and safety of the residents due to increased humidity and potential mold growth. Our specialist performed a thorough inspection of the home, quickly diagnosing the root of the problem. Water was finding its way into the crawlspace because of inefficient drainage around the exterior of the home, compounded by a lack of an interior system to catch and divert water away from the foundation. Our recommended solution was the installation of our WaterGuard system, an effective and reliable waterproofing product we've used in many homes with similar issues.
