Cracks in the foundation, musty smells in the basement, or spots of mold on the wall—these aren’t just signs of age. They can be serious warnings that your home’s structural health is at risk. In the Greater Philadelphia area, where many homes are built on clay-rich soil or date back more than a century, foundation damage and mold are increasingly common. At Del Val Basement Waterproofing, we specialize in identifying and solving these problems before they get worse. Here’s what every homeowner should know about protecting their investment. 1. Foundation Repair Keeps Your Home Standing Strong Whether it’s a small hairline crack or major bowing walls, foundation problems can lead to uneven floors, sticking doors, and even collapse if ignored. Local example: A homeowner in Chester County called us after noticing widening cracks in their finished basement. Our team used carbon fiber straps and wall anchors to stop movement and stabilize the structure—saving them thousands compared to a full rebuild. Our Services Include: Crack injections Helical and push pier systems Wall anchors and stabilization Full foundation rebuilds (if needed) 2. Mold Remediation Protects Your Family’s Health Mold isn’t just unsightly—it’s a health hazard. In moist environments like basements and crawl spaces, mold can grow in as little as 24-48 hours. True story: A client in KOP reported headaches and allergy symptoms after recent flooding. We found black mold behind drywall and in the joists. After removing contaminated materials and treating all surfaces with an antimicrobial solution, the symptoms stopped within weeks. Our Mold Process: Identify and remove moisture source Contain affected areas Remove and clean mold safely Apply professional-grade treatments to prevent regrowth 3. One Team, Comprehensive Solutions Foundation issues and mold often go hand in hand. Our integrated approach means you won’t have to hire multiple contractors—Del Val handles both problems, start to finish. You’ll have peace of mind knowing the job is done right, with long-term warranties to back it up.

Your crawl space might be out of sight, but it should never be out of mind. In fact, what happens down there can have a big impact on your entire home—from air quality and energy efficiency to structural stability. Many homes across the Philadelphia area, particularly in older neighborhoods and homes, have vented or unfinished crawl spaces that are prone to moisture, pests, and even mold. At Del Val Basement Waterproofing, we know exactly how to transform those damp, neglected spaces into dry, clean, and energy-efficient parts of your home. Let’s take a closer look at why waterproofing your crawl space is more important than ever. 1. Moisture Control and Healthier Air Because up to 50% of the air in your home can come from your crawl space, moisture down below quickly impacts your indoor air quality. Mold, mildew, and musty smells often originate there. Case study: A family in Havertown came to us after repeated allergic reactions and musty smells upstairs. After inspecting the crawl space, we found exposed dirt and condensation. We installed a full vapor barrier, dehumidifier, and sealed vents—air quality improved within days. 2. Structural Stability Moisture leads to wood rot, rusted supports, and sagging floors above the crawl space. In towns like Doylestown and Mount Laurel, many homes built decades ago weren’t properly sealed. Our fix: We stabilize joists, remove deteriorated insulation, and install vapor barriers with drainage to keep the space dry and safe. 3. Reduced Energy Costs Damp air in the crawl space makes it harder to regulate temperature throughout the house. We often see this in homes near the Delaware River or in low-lying areas like Norristown. Energy-efficient result: After our encapsulation and insulation process, one client reported a 15% drop in their heating and cooling bills. Final Thoughts Del Val Basement Waterproofing has helped homeowners throughout the Philadelphia region reclaim and protect their crawl spaces. Whether you’re battling damp air, moldy smells, or sagging floors, we have solutions that last. 📞 Ready to take a look under your home? Contact us today for a free crawl space evaluation.
