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 talked with 3 companies regarding a moisture/mold problem in my basement and was most impressed with Tar Heel Basements. The initial inspector was thorough and knowledgeable, spending more time checking my foundation both inside and out than Tar Heel's competitors. He answered a lot of questions and assisted with the interest free financing. It was an expensive repair that I was very stressed about, but Tar Heel made it as easy as possible. Once the scheduled week arrived, the technicians provided advanced notice of arrival each day, and showed up on time or early. They kept me informed throughout the process and answered numerous questions. They hung plastic to protect my belongings from the dust and advised regarding their findings (such as termites) as they removed walls and insulation. They coordinated with the electricians for installing power to the sump pump and made sure they cleaned up. Tar Heel kept everything clean and even mopped my floor once the work was completed. I'm very appreciative of Nathan Griffin, Zac Mathis, and James Passmore for their hard work, and the care and consideration they provided while working in my home.

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!

The installers did an outstanding job encapsulating our crawlspace, installing a dehumidifier and sump pump. It looks lovely! Ken, Stephen, and Jael were knowledgable, courteous, personable and professional. The job was completed in 2 and a half days. They hauled away the old liners and left the site spick and span. They kept us fully updated on the process. We also appreciated their attention to detail. They supplied us with a photo of a plumbing issue under the house of which we were unaware. Thanks to their help, we can get this taken care of before it gets worse. Thank you Ken, Stephen, and Jael for your careful work.

From start to finish, everything went great. Jay was thorough and answered ALL of our questions. He even reviewed the competition's proposal! The communication was fantastic every step of the way. The installation was a complicated one being that we have a 100+ year old farmhouse. Tyrese and Stephen had quite the challenge! They did a phenomenal job and really went above and beyond. They worked so hard and did an excellent job of explaining things. Five stars all day

The 3 guys who worked at my house were amazing. Gary Hacker has the best skills of any worker I"ve ever encountered. Ben Palmer and Axel Perez were also awesome. I will recommend Tar Heel Basement to everyone. I am 67 and the work that Gary Hacker, Ben, and Axel did on my floors will out last me by years. If I could adopt all 3 of them I would.

Worth every penny, very happy from start to finish. We opted for the complete crawl space encapsulation, moisture control, and floor leveling. When the work was done and we discovered that their original plan missed a key leveling issue, they promptly came back out and did the extra work at no charge to us. Our salesman Jay was never pushy and had the patience of an angel. Thank you to the crew including Victor, Brian, Austin, Christian, Malik, Robert and James for doing a fantastic job.

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!
