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.

I had my crawlspace encapsulated several years ago, along with adding a dehumidifier and a sump pump. It is such an improvement, I'm always glad I had it done. At our recent annual inspection maintenance, our service technician Thomas Boswell was on time, polite and thorough in his work. Good job!

Groundworks (formerly Tarheel) was a pleasure to work with. I have complete confidence in the system they installed. Jamie did a great job of explaining our options, and was very forthcoming with details and pricing. The crew of Terrence, Keeton and Jael were polite, professional and straightforward. Looking forward to a dry basement.

I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism and hard work that Adam Canter (lead), Tim Witherspoon and Ryan Oldman displayed. They worked well together to complete the job on time and above expectations. I was impressed with the systems but even more impressed with the way it was installed, the efforts to control the dust and the cleanup that occurred throughout the job. I would suggest you ask for this crew by name. I had the work quoted by others but there was no warranty included. I think the extra money spent was well worth the quality, warranty and included follow-up inspections. The lifting peer systems installed closed the cracks in the brick veneer on the length of 3 sides of the house as planned. I observed the installation of the wall braces and could see the immediate reduction in bowing of wall. Very happy with results.

We heard about Tarheel Basement Systems through some local radio advertisements on 2 Guys Named Chris – called and met with a very knowledgeable company representative. We decided to get some much needed basement/crawl space work done and are very happy with the finished result. The number one thing we have noticed besides the dry basement is that our air quality inside our house is so much better. That alone was worth having the work done, not having to worry about moisture and mold are just added benefits. Thank you, the process from start to finish was very smooth and the crew was very professional and did a wonderful job!

I asked for crawl space clean up. Time Martin explained process in detail, what to expect, timing for job completion. Brian, along with Tyler and Roy, did a great job. What was impressive was the communication of when they would arrive and when they were leaving. I decided on a complete encapsulation. Extremely pleased with the work. And the follow up from the office to confirm I was pleased with the job.

I contracted with Tarheel Basement Systems to place a drain system in my basement which has been damp and gross for years. Robbie, Terrence, and Keaton were prompt, courteous, and efficient. Robbie explained the system in a way that I understood. After they were done they cleaned up thoroughly. The process from start to finish was well-managed and there were no hidden charges or pressure for add-ons.
