Techniques can range from simply extending downspouts to an appropriate distance from your home, to excavating the foundation and performing exterior waterproofing, to encapsulating the crawl space with a vapor barrier and sealing off foundation vents to further prevent moisture from entering. These are just a few of the many techniques that we possess.
