How this works
Tuscaloosa Crawl Space is not a contractor. It is a way to reach one. You call a single number, say what the problem is, and are put through to an independent local waterproofing company that works where you live.
From the call to the visit
You call
You may first be asked a couple of short questions, such as what kind of problem it is and where the house is, so you reach a company that covers your address.
A local company picks up
From here you are talking to the waterproofing company itself. Describe what you have seen. They will ask about the house: crawl space or basement, how long it has been going on, whether there is water now.
They arrange to look
Waterproofing cannot be priced over the phone. The company sets a time to come out, go under the house or into the basement, and walk the outside.
You get their findings
Ask for what they found, what they propose and the price, all in writing. Take your time. Nothing obliges you to go ahead.
If you hire them
The contract, the work, the payment and any warranty are between you and that company.
Have these ready
- The address, or the nearest crossroads.
- Whether the house sits on a crawl space, a basement or both.
- What you noticed, where, and since when.
- Whether it follows rain, or shows up in humid weather without any rain.
- Any photos you took through the hatch or in the basement.
Who pays for what
You pay this site nothing. The waterproofing company pays a fee for being introduced to you, whether or not you hire them. That fee is how the site is funded, and it is why you should still compare, ask questions and check the company yourself. The referral disclosure sets it out.
Ask on the call whether the company charges for coming out to look. Some do and some do not.
What this site does not do
It does not inspect, price or carry out work. It does not check a company's licence or insurance for you, and it does not stand behind the work. Choosing a company shows how to make those checks yourself in a few minutes.
Ready when you are
One call, a few questions, and you are speaking with an independent local waterproofing company.
Calls may be recorded. The company pays this site for the introduction. See the referral disclosure.
