Are you enjoying the winter? Did you make it through the holidays with family and friends? With the joy of the season, you probably didn't think about that wet basement that plagued your existence last spring and summer: the damp musty smell, the soaking wet carpet, the little black hints of mold appearing on otherwise pristine walls? After all, you did a good job of staying on top of it, sharing your wet-vac sessions with the rest of the family. Eventually, by the end of summer you could shut down the fans, close the windows, and re-lay the carpet.

Well, spring is just around the corner and with spring comes melting, raining, even flooding. Are you ready to deal once again with that miserable wet basement? It may surprise you, but this is actually a great time of year to get the job done. Since the ground is the driest in the winter and the water table is low, installation of waterproofing systems becomes easier. Also, winter is off-season for contractors, so they may have more availability and may even discount their services.

So, maybe you should take the first step and call Kent Home Services. They have the resources to solve your basement problems. Whether it'e exterior wall cracks, foundation or interior cracks, leaking doors and windows or sloping floors, they have the answers.

Their labor and materials are guaranteed.

When you make the call to Kent Companies Home Services a knowledgeable representative will access your situation and recommend solutions to the problem. You will then be given a no-obligation estimate of the work at hand. If you decide to have Kent do the work, a professional team will soon come out and go through the process of whatever needs to be done including foundation repair, basement waterproofing, or even raising sunken concrete. A sump pump may be installed or a waterproof membrane sealed to the interior brick walls.

Our crew leaves the job neat and clean with everything in working order. You are left with a dry basement, ready to finish, with more usable square feet to add to the value of your home. But more than that, you have peace of mind knowing you don't have to dread the approaching spring weather. Who knows, maybe you will decide to throw that old wet-vac away.
