Our Professional Services Include

Basement Waterproofing

Basement waterproofing is a critical aspect of home maintenance that homeowners often overlook. It involves implementing measures to prevent moisture from entering the basement of a house or causing cracks in concrete walls. Our basement waterproofing and foundation repair services in White House, TN, are designed to protect your family and your Nashville-area property by addressing both interior and exterior waterproofing needs.

Interior Waterproofing

Interior basement waterproofing, also known as negative side basement waterproofing, involves addressing water that has already made its way into your property. This process may include installing a sump pump to remove water or applying sealants to the basement walls to prevent further moisture ingress, mold, and water damage. Our professional team may also recommend additional waterproofing solutions, such as French or trench drains, to address drainage issues and other water problems that can cause a wet basement.

Exterior Waterproofing

Exterior basement waterproofing, or positive side basement waterproofing, is a preventive, cost-effective measure that stops water from entering your basement in the first place. The ideal solution for your needs will vary depending on several factors (including your cost budget, your specific basement issues, and the amount of structural repair required), but it essentially involves the use of various waterproofing techniques on the exterior concrete walls of the basement and foundation, providing an impermeable barrier against water throughout the entire process. After providing a thorough inspection and developing a plan to solve your basement and foundation problems, our team will get to work!

Crawl Space Waterproofing Services

While crawl space areas are often ignored, they can be a source of major problems if not properly maintained. They can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew growth, and musty odors due to high moisture levels, cause diminished property value due to water damage, or even threaten the health of building foundations. Our crawl space waterproofing services are designed to address these issues for Cheatham County homeowners.

Crawl Space Dehumidification

High levels of crawl space humidity can lead to mold growth and wood rot, compromising the structural integrity of your home, compromising your indoor air quality, and driving up your energy bills. Our crawl space dehumidification solutions ensure that the humidity levels in your crawl spaces are kept in check, preventing these common signs of trouble.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is another effective technique to combat moisture problems that foundations and crawl spaces can develop over time. By installing a vapor barrier, our company can prevent ground moisture from making its way up into your crawl space, protecting your home against mold, mildew, water damage, and air quality issues.

4 Reasons Not to “DIY” Basement, Foundation, or Crawl Space Repair

Home repair can be a rewarding endeavor, but when it comes to waterproofing and foundation repair services in White House, TN, it’s often best left to professionals. Here are four reasons why you should resist the urge to DIY basement, foundation, or crawl space work:

Identifying the Root Cause Requires Expertise

One of the most significant challenges homeowners face when attempting DIY repairs is identifying the root cause of the issue. Waterproofing your basement, your crawl space, or your home’s foundation might seem straightforward, but underlying issues often require professional knowledge to diagnose accurately. For instance, foundation cracks or mold on your basement floor might appear to be a simple fix but could actually indicate a more serious structural problem.

Improper Repair Can Lead to Further Damage

Improperly executed repair can cost you more time and money down the line. Mistakes in DIY basement waterproofing can inadvertently damage other systems in the home, like plumbing or electrical systems, leading to costly repairs. Similarly, DIY crawl space repair can lead to issues such as improper use of vapor barriers, which can eventually produce unpleasant odors or allow mold to continue spreading.

Professionals Have Access to Specialized Equipment and Quality Materials

Our basement and foundation repair company has access to professional-grade equipment and high-quality materials that aren’t typically available to the average homeowner. For instance, effective foundation waterproofing often involves installing a drain tile system, which requires specific equipment. By paying for professional service, you’re ensuring the use of high-quality materials and the right equipment for a long-lasting fix.

Safety Considerations

Last but not least, safety is a crucial consideration. Basement waterproofing, foundation repair, and crawl space service can involve working in confined spaces and dealing with structural elements of your home, as well as potentially breathing in mold, mildew, and other substances that negatively affect air quality. Professionals have the necessary training and equipment to handle these tasks safely. DIY attempts can risk personal injury or further structural damage to your basement, foundation, or other critical areas.

While DIY repairs might initially seem like a cost-saving approach, they can lead to more problems and expenses over time. So, ultimately, it’s advisable to entrust your basement waterproofing, foundation repair, or crawl space service to professionals who have the expertise, equipment, and materials to do the job correctly and provide a lasting solution. Trust us — it’ll cost you a lot less in the long run!

John, Jamie, and the Barrier crew were a pleasure to work with! Jamie provided an easy to understand proposal (cleaning fungal growth, sump basin, vapor barrier) and took the time to explain each aspect and the why's and benefits. The crew was professional and did a fantastic job. Jamie followed up after the job was complete and went through the finished product. I have no hesitation recommending Barrier to anyone!

My home is a one hundred years old English Tudor bungalow in the Belle Meade area that I have owned since 1975. Like many older homes with a basement, it has a dirt shelf in one half. The dirt had been eroding into a concrete floor for some time but I was reluctant to spend money to correct the problem and to find competent people to fix it was a challenge until I met John and Bruce from Barrier. I am not an engineer ( my Dad was) but I knew they could do what I needed done. The work they did far exceeded my expectations. Their workers are dedicated, conscientious and punctual. Overall I am very satisfied.

Family owned and operated, ethical company providing customized solutions for water resolution. The work in my crawl space was completed in a timely manner by a great crew leader-Jeronimo who was in constant communication through completion of all work. I called the rest (about 12 other companies) and used the best - BARRIER IS THE BEST!

John Trusa came to our house and gave us great advice based on his knowledge of drainage issues. He pinpointed exactly what needed to be done in minutes! We have been having flooding in our basement for many years and John knew exactly what was going on and how to fix it. We are so thankful he was referred to us.Donna and Charles Goldman

We hired Barrier Waterproofing to do my father-in-laws 1950s home, they did an absolutely spectacular job. The owner of the business personally oversaw the work, and helped out to give his team a break, as breaking through the old concrete was not easy or fun! They were easy to talk to and easy to deal with! Highly recommend!

We were are very happy when we found them on the internet to help us with our outdoor drainage issues. John came several times to come up with solutions for our complex issue. He installed outdoor sump pumps and Spee-D channel drains to correct the problem. His employees were very hard workers, did an excellent job and cleaned up everything when they left. Our neighbor even said "they did a great job". We would recommend them and we will use them again, if needed.

My project was underground downspouts extension. All other companies gave quotes for three downspouts extension but BWS gave me one with all seven downspouts extension with PVC pipes including the front ones which required to make a hole under concrete slab. This is far thorough idea which I like considering climate change and more rainfalls in the future.It took three days, the 1st day digging the land, the 2nd day installing pipes, and the 3rd day covering the land. You never know what's under the ground even after having 811 mark all utility lines. There were downspout extension merged line with a neighbor and unmarked gas line for unused street light. Both made my neighbors upset, but BWS took care of it very responsibly and patiently. They were all kind and professional.

John and his team performed way beyond our expectations! When we learned that our foundation was beginning to sink we thought we were going to have to stop our remodeling. In a frantic attempt to find a solution we called Barrier and spoke with John. He was out at our home the next day looking everything over with us. Within 30 minutes he knew what was wrong, why we had water intrusion, and how we were going to fix it. We scheduled a time to have him lift the foundation and place piers to support it. It took 3 days in the sun and rain, but they not only lifted our building, they fixed cracks in the bricks, planted grass in all the areas they dug, and even placed hay to promote the new grass growth. His bid was also great in comparison to two other companies we asked to look at it. Do I recommend Barrier? YES!

My husband and I had been having water issues in our basement for years, it was time to find a company to help us alleviate the problem. Reached out to Barrier Waterproofing and John and his associate made an appointment with us to evaluate the issues and offer us the best solution. I'm happy to say the project was completed on December and we couldn't be happier, no more water!!! The process took 4 days of exterior work on the problem areas with the site supervisor Geronimo explaining every step along the way. He and his assistants were friendly and professional, leaving us with positive feelings that our problem was going to be remedied, and it was. We would highly recommend them to any homeowners or business owners who are experiencing water problems, you won't be sorry. Anita and Bob Bay, Cookeville, TN.

Juan is the hardest working crewman we have ever seen. Arrived each morning on time. Did 90% of the work by hand and by himself in the sweltering heat!! Jose did the excavator work and was the site supervisor. Jose is great, was very nice and also communicated with us well. Bruce was great to work with and communication was top notch. John came to our home a couple of times to answer questions and review job site. Work was extensive but completed as quickly as possible and done sooner than expected since we were told new jobs were 10-12 weeks out on their schedule. (We expected Sept & it was done in Aug). Work was done in 14 days when I expected at least 3 weeks. Job done very well & they cleaned up our yard and completed all work as promised!! We can trust the work and are assured knowing we have a lifetime warranty and never have to worry about our basement leaking again. Thank you!!
