"We just had American Dry Basement install a waterproofing system in our basement. We've had issues with water in our basement and needed a total solution so we can sleep at night and go away without worrying about flooding. Steve T from American Dry came to our house and presented us with what the solution will look like and thoroughly explained the entire process. He also answered all our questions and was always available to talk to. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent professional to work with. Then Wilson and his two-man crew came to do the work and they were all professional, extremely hard working and respectful of our home. They always started early and worked all day long to get the job completed. They wrapped up all items that were still exposed after we cleaned out most of our basement, used vacuums and filters to minimize all the dust and left our basement cleaner than it was before. We highly recommend American Dry Basement Systems and we're so happy we chose them over the others we received estimates from. And their price was more than competitive for what we believe is a much better solution."

He showed up on time, finished the job within budget and within the timeframe promised and did a fantastic job! He was easy to communicate with during the process and kept me updated. I strongly recommend Dean and his team!"

"Flooding in our basement has been a recurring problem over the years. We’ve had various companies do work for us but they failed to keep our basement dry for longer than a few months at a time and only did a semi okay job. That all changed when we hired Empire Construction Waterproofing. Chris gave me a very reasonable price for the size of our project. They had a team down there starting to work almost right away! They were incredibly professional and worked very efficiently. Once they were done they left the space in great condition. My husband and I were very satisfied with the project. The results went above and beyond our expectations, the quality was unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. It was such a pleasure working with Chris and Empire Construction Waterproofing. I have recommended them to all of my friends and family. If you’re having basement issues definitely give them a call."

"I am writing this review to acknowledge the power of Angie?s
list as well as to express my satisfaction with the work done by M & M
Construction at my home in Hartford.  We
have a 100 year old house which one rainy day flooded in the basement ? the first
time this had happened in the 15 years we have owned the house.  The flooding was not rainwater, it was backed
up sewage!!!  We had a local plumber,
suggested by friends, check it out as an emergency and after hours and hours of
expensive manipulation managed to cause the backed up sewage to drain and
identified that a main sewage line had partially separated.  The problem was however not solved and with
the next rainstorm flooding repeated in the basement as well as through the
kitchen sink, which caused the entire hardwood floor to buckle.  A repeat visit by the same plumber claimed
that this was an entirely new problem! 
Repeated calls to have this and another plumbing services to address the
problem were futile. 
Searching Angie?s list for service providers to replace the
sewer line led us to M & M Construction. 
On line reviews of them were very favorable, but we did not know anyone
for whom they had done any work.  We got
in touch with Anthony (Principal with the company) and he immediately came out to examine the site and provided
us with an estimate and work proposal. 
We took a chance on the fact that reviews of Anthony?s were a reflection
of what to expect.  He promptly began the
work as proposed.  Searches at the MDC for
layouts of the sewage line turned up negative. 
The only record on file was the point at which the house connects to the
city sewage system.  They began work from
the property edge and found a drain line. 
Went through the entire process of replacing the line but when tested
the problem had not been solved!  So
Anthony and his crew after putting a camera down, identified the brake point of
the sewage line and it turned out that the house has two lines that tie into
the a single line under the sidewalk.  So
they re-dug, found the second line and replaced it at no additional cost to
us!  It was a lot of work, and during
this process Anthony kept us fully informed. 
During this ongoing work, our trust in Anthony grew, and
knowing that we needed a new roof, we asked Anthony if he knew anyone who could
redo the roof.  To our surprise, he
collaborates with a roofer on roof work. 
We visited sites where they were replacing a roof and had good opinions
of their work from the homeowner.  We
contracted Anthony to redo the roof!  The
roofers did a very good job and we are very happy with the work.
As we also needed a new driveway due to flooding in the rear
of the house, and knowing that Anthony had the heavy equipment necessary for
excavation work, we engaged him on another project to redo the driveway and
redesign the parking area behind the house. 
Working with him we designed a permeable paver parking area, with
permeable pavers lining the driveway. 
The layout of the pavers and the driveway was completed before the
winter snows and now what is left is touch ups to complete the project and grow
grass in the permeable pavers.  Heavy
rains in the Fall that would normally have resulted in major flooding in the
rear of the house are a thing of the past! 
The snow melts that have recently occurred resulted in no flooding giving
us confidence of a job well done. 
Planting grass where the work was done and other minor touchups still
remain for the spring which we are fully confident will be completed. 
Anthony is trustworthy, a perfectionist in his work, and
very responsive to questions we raised during all aspects of the work he has
done at our home.  I have told Anthony
that he is welcome to bring any client to see the work he has done for us at
any time. 
Thank you Anthony.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.

The best way to ensure the ground next to your home’s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil.

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation. 

There are a few downsides to a wet room, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.
