We've earned 1,273 five star reviews.

"We contacted Tarheel Basement Systems because, despite the fact that our home in Stokesdale was only 2 years old, it had a musty smell and shockingly we were beginning to see some mold spots on and around vents and in closets, including clothes. They sent out a representative (Harlan) promptly, on a Saturday, who inspected the crawl space, took readings of humidity in the wood and the insulation and overall air, took schematics of the crawl space, and plenty of pictures. He discussed the cost and options with us, taking his time, including financing options. He was extremely thorough, and we agreed on the scope of the work and cost. They initiated the project, with Jacob C and Terrence A arriving at our home early in the morning. Jacob and Terrence were extremely courteous and professional, dropped off some initial documentation, and got to work. I did not have to be home but was able to work from home for the duration of their visit and I can tell you that they worked hard for two days beginning early in the day until late afternoon. Other than leaving for home after Day 1, they did not leave the site and took minimal break time during the entire duration of their stay. Peeking out from time-to-time they took their time cutting the materials to size, and when the project was over recapped with me what they had done. My wife and I are extremely appreciative of Jacob C, Terrence A, Harlan, and the entire team at Tar Heel Basement Systems and would not hesitate to enlist them again!"

Types of Basement Damage in Burlington

Common Causes of your Basement Problems in Burlington

If you've noticed dampness or musty odors in your basement, it may be due to the way soil and moisture interact in your area. Burlington experiences seasonal moisture variations that can cause the clay soils common here to expand and contract. This natural swell and shrink cycle affects how the ground settles around homes, often leading to pressure against basement walls. Additionally, some neighborhoods may have yards with drainage issues, allowing water to pool near foundations and creating the conditions perfect for moisture infiltration. Homes in areas with high groundwater levels may also face added stress on below-grade walls, as water naturally seeks the path of least resistance.

These environmental factors can lead to a variety of challenges for your basement. As pressure builds against the walls due to expanding soil or pooling water, cracks can form, allowing moisture to seep inside. This often results in uneven floors and may cause doors to stick. Early detection of these issues is crucial; spotting signs such as damp spots or slight wall shifts can prevent significant structural damage over time. Taking proactive steps when these warning signs first appear can help keep your foundation strong and your basement dry.
