We have a house that was built in the 50s that was needing some basement work. I contacted Tarheel Basements systems Rob the estimator crawled under the house. Did a very thorough inspection. A total encapsulation was performed and a dehumidifier was installed by Tae, Edwin and James.  we are very happy with all the work performed and would highly recommend Tarheel Basements systems.

Brandon Cross was very precise & knowledgeable in the encapsulation services to be provided. The crew was friendly, professional and answered any questions that I asked. The county inspector stated that it was so clean & was encapsulated properly that we could eat dinner there or even bring a pillow and sleep there. Thank you so much TarHeel Basement System. I would highly recommend them.
