Basement Waterproofing in Northern North Carolina

Water in the basement of your Northern North Carolina home can look like a small trickle on the walls or all-out flooding. Either case is bad news for your home and family. Water, coupled with humidity, creates a breeding ground for mold and rotting wood, both of which threaten your home’s structural integrity and your family’s safety. 

Don’t let these issues plague your Northern North Carolina home any longer. Our experienced team at Tar Heel Basement Systems has the knowledge and award-winning service and solutions your home needs to stay dry and healthy for good. We have been waterproofing basements throughout Northern North Carolina for 20 years, and we are eager to assist you, as well.

Basement Problem Signs in Northern North Carolina

Water is the most obvious problem sign you will see in your Northern North Carolina basement, whether it is in the form of dampness on the walls or puddles on the floor. If there is a problem with your basement, you will also notice efflorescence, mold, leaking windows, condensation, elevated humidity, increased pest activity, and unpleasant odors. Time will not heal any of these issues, but will instead make them worse for your family to be around and more costly to repair. At the first sign of trouble, don’t hesitate to reach out to Tar Heel for a free inspection. 

Causes of Basement Damage in Northern North Carolina

Internal sources like malfunctioning sump pumps or burst plumbing pipes can lead to damage in your Northern North Carolina basement, but the causes behind most basement problems are external. This includes the area’s soil and weather, and how the two interact with your home. North Carolina, including the northern and mountainous areas, has various soil types from rocky to expansive clay. Many Northern North Carolina locations annually receive more than 50 inches of rain and 30 inches of snow. If the soil is inundated with this much water and runoff, it will easily flood as well as exert hydrostatic pressure on your basement walls that leads to cracks and leaks

Basement Waterproofing Solutions in Northern North Carolina

No two basements are the same, so your Northern North Carolina home needs personalized basement waterproofing solutions. Following a free evaluation, your Tar Heel inspector might recommend interior drainage, sump pumps, battery backup pumps, wall vapor barriers, dehumidifiers, and anti-freeze sump pump discharge line attachments. Each piece of the puzzle is important, and all these solutions were designed to work together as a complete basement waterproofing system. All our products also are made in the USA and protected by long-lasting, nationally backed, transferrable warranties.

Why Choose Tar Heel Basement Systems

If you’ve got water or other damage in your basement, it is important to nip those problems in the bud right away to safeguard your family and your Northern North Carolina home. Both deserve unwavering protection from reliable repair solutions. At Tar Heel Basement Systems, we understand how the area’s varied soil and wet weather impact basements, so we designed fully customizable permanent solutions to keep your basement dry.

I have been very pleased by the work done by Groundworks/Tarheel Basement Systems. Helene damaged the structure underneath my 110 year old house and I chose Tarheel Basement Systems to strengthen the existing structure and add additional beams and supports. I think there work was done to a high standard. In particular, Justin and Devon seemed to take great pride in ensuring that everything was done just right. I highly recommend them and the company.

The crawl space looks great. No more dirty plastic to deal with. The crew that did out job was amazing. Wish I know their names, (my husband was dealing with the guys). We couldn't be more pleased with the Ground works company and staff. Wish we had done the work earlier. Thanks for a great job.

We had 2 segments of work done: (1) adding piers to the front foundation of our house, and (2) adding a beam and some piers in the crawlspace to a center section of the house to better support some interior walls. We were very impressed by everyone at Tar Heel Basement Systems from beginning to end – from the initial analysis and proposal to the actual work to follow-up. John Reavis was very professional, thorough, and knowledgeable when he performed the initial site visit and put together a proposal for us. He was also very good about following up and communicating in general. Both crews who did the work were very confident, professional, and courteous. They really seemed like they knew what they were doing and took their time to make sure it was done right. They also were very good about communicating arrival times and progress on the 2 projects. Everyone we spoke with at the office was very helpful during the whole process. In particular, we had multiple interactions with Morgan about scheduling, arranging payment, and follow-up paperwork. We had some bad weather when the work was originally scheduled to be done, but everyone stayed in touch with us and made rescheduling easy. Tar Heel might be more expensive than some other options, but this is a case where you truly get what you pay for. We can't imagine anyone doing a better job.

I was very pleased with the service that that John, Jr and Brady a performed. John went above and beyond to make sure that I was satisfied. He is a very knowledgeable person and knows what he is doing. I enjoyed talking with him he is a very good people person. If I were to need any more service from this company I would definitely ask for Jr. He made sure that my doors would all latch due to jacking up the floors and made all the necessary adjustments to see that they did so. He did what it took to get the job done right. I wish he had it have been here the first time! Thank you John for a job well done! Ray Johnson

We had the crawlspace sealed back in 2020. Recently we decided to complete the crawlspace project by having the insulation removed from the floor joists as well as having insulation board installed on the concrete cinderblock, collectively known as "finishing the crawlspace". Well, I must say, Groundworks sent me the A-team: Sam, Josh and Kim. These folks were efficient, courteous and clearly knew what they were doing. They you guys and gal!!! It looks great!

Tar Heel basement systems goes over and beyond their obligations to satisfy their customers even several years past. They came out and retaped some of the seams in the vapor barrier and cleaned the barrier where some water had pooled. I highly recommend them and their service technician (Jacob ) went over and beyond his duties to satisfy me as a customer. He readjusted my dehumidifier to the proper settings. Get them to help you! You won’t regret it! Superior service!

We recently had a crawlspace encapsulation by Tarheel Basement of Winston Salem. John Reavis came out to do an inspection. He was professional, and did a thorough inspection of our crawlspace. He answered all our questions and offered solutions without pressure to buy. We knew after meeting with John that this was the company that we wanted to do business with. Crew leader Brian Carey along with Leo and Stephon did a great job making our crawlspace look great. They showed up on time and Brian went over the work details for each day. Eric Townsend also came out afterwards to check the equipment. Everyone with Tarheel Basement was great. We could not be happier with the result and we are so happy we chose this company!

These guys did an amazing job to my crawlspace. Austin Moody, John Noyola, Roy Ruiz, Johnathan Ruiz great team of guys! In and out in, they hustled and busted their tails to get the job done. Looks amazing under there now. Hardly knew they guys were here, weren't too loud and cleaned up the mess very well. Austin was very well at explaining the whole process and what they were working on throughout the process. Definitely recommend!
