Frequently Asked Questions
Are your contractors licensed and trained?
Yes. Our team consists of certified technicians trained in local Shreveport building codes, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern moisture-detection technology.
How much does a waterproofing project cost?
Costs vary based on the damage severity and the chosen method (interior vs. exterior). We provide detailed, transparent estimates after a thorough inspection.
What are the most common causes of basement leaks?
In the Ark-La-Tex region, leaks are caused by expansive clay soil and hydrostatic pressure. Saturated soil pushes against your foundation, forcing water through cracks and pores.
Can a leaking basement window cause foundation damage?
Yes. Clogged window wells act like buckets, holding water against your walls. We install specialized drainage and covers to prevent flooding and frame rot.
Can you fix a damp crawl space as well as a basement?
Yes. We provide crawl space encapsulation, using vapor barriers and dehumidifiers to protect wooden floor joists from Louisiana’s high humidity and rot.
Are your waterproofing solutions permanent?
Yes. We use industrial-grade membranes and flexible sealers. Most repairs include transferable warranties that add resale value to your home.
Will an interior system stop my basement from feeling humid?
Yes. By using professional sealers and vapor barriers, we stop moisture evaporation, eliminating musty odors and improving indoor air quality.
Does interior waterproofing involve the floor or just the walls?
It involves both. We seal wall cracks, address the “cove joint” (where the wall meets the floor), and install sub-floor drainage to manage rising groundwater.
What are the warning signs that my foundation needs repair?
Look for sticking doors/windows, visible wall cracks, musty odors near baseboards, or water pooling against your exterior foundation after a storm.
Is foundation waterproofing a "one-size-fits-all" service?
No. We customize every plan, often combining exterior barriers with interior drainage (like sump pumps) to provide a complete, dual-layered defense.
