1. Observe and protect
Note what's happening at the Rock Hill property -- symptoms, timing, prior attempts -- and hold off further damage where that's safely possible.
2. Evaluate the house and site
Water shows up the same way in a Rock Hill basement no matter the cause -- but roof drainage, sloped grading, red-clay hydrostatic pressure, a cracked wall joint, and summer humidity each call for a different response.
3. Define a written scope
A Rock Hill project's written scope should spell out prep, protection, materials, access, permits, testing, cleanup, restoration, exclusions, and change-order terms.
4. Compare providers
Weigh how each Rock Hill proposal actually reasons through the site, not only where its total price lands.
5. Inspect closeout
Before signing off on a Rock Hill job, confirm testing, cleanup, documentation, warranty terms, and any maintenance still left to the homeowner.
