Keeping water out starts with a local team that gets it
One of the calls we still talk about came after a hard stretch of rain near the river. A homeowner had towels lined up along a wall and a shop vac running, hoping the mess would stop growing. We showed up, walked the space with them, and talked through what was really happening. basement waterproofing isn’t just about a wet floor, it’s about getting your home back to normal. That’s the kind of work we do at Encapsulation and Waterproofing LLC by T'S.

When people call us in Mount Holly, NC, they’re usually tired, worried, and ready for a real fix. We get that. Our team likes keeping things simple, honest, and easy to follow, because nobody wants a lecture when water is creeping where it shouldn’t.
What we help with around here
Waterproofing Service
A lot of folks first reach out because they don’t even know which fix they need, they just know something feels damp, smells musty, or keeps coming back after rain. That’s where a full waterproofing service helps. We had one family tell us they kept blaming old storage boxes for the smell, but the real issue was moisture building up over time. A good waterproofing service gives you a clear starting point and a real plan.
Foundation Waterproofing
Sometimes the problem starts lower and deeper than people think. We were called to a home where the owners noticed tiny wall changes and a damp edge along the floor after storms rolled through. foundation waterproofing was the right move there because water pressure around the home was part of the story. Once people see how much water can push against a house, it starts to make a lot more sense.
Crawl Space Waterproofing
Not every water issue shows up in a basement. In plenty of homes, crawl space waterproofing is what makes the biggest difference. We’ve seen crawl spaces so humid that the air felt heavy the second the access door opened. After crawl space waterproofing, people often tell us the house feels less muggy and smells cleaner too, which is a nice bonus when you’ve been fighting that damp odor for months.
Basement Encapsulation
Some homeowners want their lower level to feel less like a problem zone and more like part of the home again. basement encapsulation can help do that by sealing off moisture and creating a cleaner space. We once heard a customer say their basement used to feel like a cave after rain, dark, damp, and off. After basement encapsulation, the space felt calmer, drier, and much easier to use for storage.
Commercial Waterproofing
Business owners have water problems too, and they usually need answers fast. commercial waterproofing is something we talk about with property managers and small local businesses that can’t afford to let moisture damage stock, flooring, or walls. One owner told us every rainy week made them nervous before opening up in the morning. commercial waterproofing helps take that stress down and protects the space people rely on for work.
Leak Waterproofing
Some jobs start with one simple drip, then we find the path that water has been taking all along. leak waterproofing is often about tracking the source instead of guessing at the symptom. We remember a call where the homeowner kept seeing the same puddle in the same corner and thought it was a plumbing issue. It wasn’t. leak waterproofing solved the outside water entry that had been sneaking in every storm.
Bathroom Waterproofing
Water doesn’t have to come through a foundation to cause trouble. bathroom waterproofing matters when moisture keeps getting where it shouldn’t around tubs, showers, tile lines, or wall edges. We’ve heard from homeowners who thought they just needed fresh caulk, but the soft spots nearby told a bigger story. bathroom waterproofing helps protect the room before small signs turn into repairs that cost a lot more later.
Those are some of the big ones, but honestly we handle a lot more around here:
- Waterproofing
- Crawl Space Encapsulation
- Insulation Removal
- Retaining Wall Construction
- Crawl Space Mold Remediation
And if you’re not sure which one fits your situation, we’re happy to talk it through with you.
Why people here keep calling us
A big reason people choose us is simple, we don’t talk over them. We explain what we see, what it means, and what can be done without making things sound bigger than they are. That’s helpful when you’re standing in a damp basement wondering if the whole house is in trouble. A lot of basement waterproofing calls start with fear, and our job is to replace that with a clear path forward.
We also like being practical. If something is minor, we’ll say that. If the water problem has been building for a while, we’ll say that too. People appreciate straight answers, especially after storms when time matters and every wet box or stained wall feels personal. We’ve found that trust grows when the conversation feels real, not stiff.
And local homes all have their own quirks. Some hold moisture longer. Some show signs only after days of rain. Some have older areas that need extra attention. We’ve worked with enough of these situations to spot patterns, and we bring that experience into every visit.
What happens when you call us
When someone reaches out to us, here’s usually how it goes. First, we listen. We want to hear when the problem started, where you noticed it, and what the weather was doing when it showed up. That part matters more than people think.
-
We talk through the signs you’ve seen, like puddles, smells, staining, or damp walls.
-
We come take a look and check the space carefully.
-
We explain what we found in plain language.
-
We go over the next step and answer your questions.
That’s the basic flow, but it still feels personal. We’ve had homeowners point to one corner of a room and say, “It only happens right there,” and that one detail helped tell the whole story. We like those details. They help us connect the dots.
If you like having everything spelled out before you commit, that’s fair. The FAQ section below covers a few of the things people ask us most. But when you call, we keep it human and simple, because this stuff is stressful enough already.

Yes, we help customers throughout the city. If you’re in a busier part of town or in a quieter residential area, you can still reach out and we’ll let you know how soon we can get there.
How does basement waterproofing usually start once I call?
It starts with a conversation about what you’ve seen and when it happens. Then we check the area, look for the source of the moisture, and explain the fix in simple terms so you know what comes next.
What affects the cost of waterproofing work in this area?
The price depends on things like where the water is coming from, how far the moisture has spread, and what kind of repair is needed. A small leak is very different from a larger system or foundation issue, so we like to see the space before giving real numbers.
