"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."

"Nixon was amazing. I never have good experiences with handymen but he was able to fix my front door, weatherproof my doors, and fix my dehumidifier basement issue that have been huge issues before now. He’s reliable and does a great job. Highly recommend!"

"Phil and his crew did a fantastic job of making a lawn where there was none. He offered suggestions before, during and after the project about what to create and how to maintain. I would definitely recommend this company."

"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."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.

A sump pump can be added to an existing basement. To do this, you will need to use a jackhammer or sledgehammer to break up the concrete and dig a pit. You will also need to create a hole in your basement wall to run the discharge pipe through.

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

Standard homeowners insurance policies may cover basement water damage or flooding, but only if it is caused by a sudden and accidental event that is a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a failing appliance. Damage caused by natural flooding from extreme weather, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is typically excluded and requires a separate flood insurance policy. Some insurers also offer an optional water backup endorsement for issues like sewer backups. Review your policy or speak with your agent to understand your specific coverage.

Below-ground shelters are the best in terms of durability, but there is a risk of flooding and obstruction. Modern technology and rigorous construction requirements make above-ground shelters a better option for accessibility, safety, and, usually, your budget. They may not have the same aesthetic appeal, but many of their features make above-ground shelters a better option.
