"Great results from waterproofing. Turned my spring flooding anxiety to calm. As humidity rose in summer, I put in a small dehumidifier. Made basement noisy as it struggled to dry and produced a lot of heat. As temperatures rose to about 83 down there and the humidity rose to over 68%, I had same people put in a whole basement commercial-grade dehumidifier. The small unit dropped the humidity to around 50% in less than an hour. Incredible performance and have me peace of mind and peace and quiet downstairs. Temperature dropped gas as well. Weel worth the price to save my most expensive investment."

"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."

"Pedro and team solved an ongoing pond drainage issue that was able to be resolved. Many companies came and charged us money for half a job and this was not the case with AG. They were professional, proficient and quickly got to the source of the problem in one day. Prices were fair and they did not have to come back as they had all the supplies they needed to start and finish the job which is very rare for a major culvert issue like this one."

"I had lost water pressure on Saturday and made a emergency call to a unknown company from google. I talked to a person immediately from Cassidy Plumbing and was told I would get a call from an employee in one hour. An employee called and would come over in 15 minutes. I was amazed at the response time. He check out my water system thoroughly and told me that I wasn't getting water in the well tank causing me to lose pressure but also I was not getting any pressure straight from the well either. It was either the water pressure tank with the pressure switch or the water pump that was causing this problem. The pressure gauge was also broken. He explained fully what needed to be done, the price for each issue and since he was not able to do anything until Monday, I was first on the list.
Cassidy Plumbing called me in the morning and told me that they would be their in one hour. They came promptly and went to the well tank first and found out the pressure switch had corroded and the well tank was also not doing it's job. The tank was about 15 years old and the switch was more than 25 years old. I was told and saw everything that needed to be replaced and the price. When replacing the valve close to the water filter housing the piping broke off and upon looking at it this was corroded too! I was able to get a discount for the water filter housing since they were working on that section of piping and it was unexpected. Afterwards they tested the water pressure to make sure all was working and that the register near the pressure switch was functioning.
My water room is the size of a closet. Inside is the water heater, water softener system (tank for salt and two tall cylinders), electrical box, telephone box, cast iron plumbing for toilet and the well tank. It was tight to say the least and they did a neat job of putting everything together and cleaning up.
I have had to replace my well pump and another time the electrical wiring to the pump and both these companies could not compare to the professionalism and services that Cassidy Plumbing and Heating."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts

If you decide to fill the space around your home’s foundation with landscaping materials, it’s important to consider the aesthetic as well as technical factors like drainage and protection from pests and the elements. Materials such as gravel, rubber mulch, concrete, and brick masonry are all good options.

Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.

Yes, if your crawl space is prone to humidity, a dehumidifier can help keep it dry. For use in a crawl space, you’ll need a high-capacity and high-efficiency dehumidifier with built-in air filtration. It’s also wise to purchase one with a self-draining feature. Otherwise, you’ll need to climb into the crawl space to empty the dehumidifier.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.
