"Andrew came out to do an estimate for the job.  Andrew was very personable and knowledgeable about basement waterproofing.  He went to the basement and did a complete walk around while explaining to me about hydrostatic pressure and that I would need a full perimeter basement waterproofing.  Andrew, on an estimate sheet, did a detailed drawing of the basement showing where the drains and sump crocks would go, stated there was no problem in taking off the radiators and reinstalling them, stated he could remove the panelling and put it back on and came up with the idea of waynes coating and trim but I would need to supply the paint, stated they could demo the shower and pad and cap the lines, stated they could install a new pump and rehook up my laundry sink to the sewer line.  All of this discussion was written down on the estimate sheet.  I did tell him it was an estimate and I may need to have him come back and that was no problem for him.  I did decide to go with Righway Waterproofing and that this was a lifetime warranty since it was a full perimeter waterproofing with 1 transfer if I sold the house.
The demolition and the drilling of the holes in the walls to relieve the water in the walls was done quickly.  All debris was taken out and basement windows were removed to take in supplies and stone.  Like another reviewer had stated, the removal and put back of the windows could have gone a little better.  The pipe was laid in and concrete was poured.  3 ft of panelling removed and mold and deodorizer treatment were done.  The basement smells so fresh now.  No more of that dank, musty smell.  Concrete was poured and needed to wait for some curing.  Needed to get new radiator covers installed and Rightway Waterproofing paid for them. Shower was removed along with pad and lines were capped off.  Ran into a small problem with the capping of the lines.  Two areas dripped and dripped into the concrete that was poured so they had to correct  the capping so no more dripping and do some concrete patch work.  Had to wait about 10 days before new waynes coating and trim installed and painted.  Install new pump drain under sink and connect to sewer line.
Now for some of the issues I did have:  The new pump drain under the sink took 3 times till it was done correctly.  The threshold drain by the bilko door was too short and did not accomodate the small incoming pipe hole so when the first heavy rain came, part of the basement near the washer and dryer filled with water. I had to wet-vac the water out.   I did a makeshift drain routeway so near this incoming pipe hole would flow to the threshold drain.  They came out la few days later and reinstall a longer threshold drain and built a little concrete hill so the incoming pipe hole flows to the threshold drain.  The one sump crock pump was not hooked up correctly so with that first heavy rain the water did not pump out but flowed into the basement.  I had to wet-vac that water out.  They came out that day and reconnected the pump hose correctly.
I am happy that I had the work done and I love having a dry basement.   I know I was quite demanding on some of my requests but they handled it well.  It did take me a while to get used to not checking for water and I don't  miss staying up all night wet-vaccing the basement.
A few recommendations to Righway Waterproofing is that they should have an emergency phone number to call when you have problems.  Plus, they should do a follow-up contact a few months after the work is done to see how the customer likes the work and how the customer is doing.
Overall, they did a good job and I would recommend them to others.

"Roberto was the technician and he was very professional, polite, and personable. He inspected the rest of our system and told us things that needed to be changed or repaired. He showed me pictures of everything. Everything he told me about was accurate. He quoted me a price for R38 insulation , Some of our ducts were plastic and he recommended them to be changed. I agreed completely and didn't know they were plastic. I would have had them done the work but I had no price comparisons to make and besides I didn't have the money right then. So he just finished the vent cleaning and left his card. He did a great job on the vent cleaning and was happy with the work."

"They custom make the windows and Fed-Ex them to you. We installed them ourselves to save money. Once we put them in, we couldn't hear outside noise anymore. It made a world of difference. I think it has also helped insulate my home a little. For the cost, I think it would have been twice as much to have the windows replaced."

"During Hurricane irene a large tree uprooted and fell directly on our home making it uninhabitable.  Though we were extremely stressed and motivated to rebuild quickly we took the time to bid out the project to "several" contractors to ensure our home was properly rebuilt for the right price.  It was clear to us early in the bid process Apsley showed the most responsiveness and capability compared to their competition.  After months of rebuilding we are back in our home and couldn't be happier.  There were a few minor details that needed to be touched up but when our expectations were clearly explained to the staff they made things right without any issue.  Thank you Apsley team!

"We just had our roof done by Tycos and couldn't be more pleased. They exceeded our expectations. They were so nice, on time, everything was cleaned up and put back. They went above and beyond. After hearing roofing nightmares from friends and being frustrated with other roofers we met with.  So many seemed to just want to take advantage of insurance money and seemed so sleezy - we were so frustrated.  We did not have that experience with Tycos.  They gave us an honest estimate and Tycos knocked it out of the park and the price was GREAT!!!! I have already recommended them and will continue to do so. I will also call them for future work. It is so great to find an A1 company to work with that we feel like we can trust and they show up when they say they are going to!!!

Insulation questions, answered by experts

Yes, insulating your cold water pipes is a great way to prevent condensation. When warm, humid air meets cold pipes, condensation forms, which can drip and cause moisture issues in your home. Pipe insulation acts as a barrier between the warm air and the cold pipes, keeping condensation at bay and helping you avoid potential problems like mold or structural damage.

Insulating a stone house is an expensive and involved process because it requires building a double-walled house. The walls don’t need to be the same thickness, but they both need to be thick enough to handle any structural demands and meet fire and safety standards. The insulation (usually foam or fiberglass) is then installed between the two stone walls.

Whether plaster walls should be insulated depends on whether the walls are at particular risk of moisture problems. In many cases, you can insulate plaster walls, while in others, it's a poor decision because of the lack of a vapor barrier. Choose a reputable insulation contractor to help you decide if and how to proceed to increase your home's energy efficiency.

DIY installation is not recommended, as professionals ensure even distribution, proper sealing, and compliance with building codes.

Yes, energy-efficient homes are increasingly desirable in the market.
