"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."

"Due to the weather they have only been able to complete the interior portion of the house, however, they have been remarkably responsive. They have been great to work with and everything I've requested they said they could do. Even spraying areas around the house. Both the rep and the tech were very friendly and answered all of my questions.

"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!!!

FAQs for insulation service projects in Rehoboth Beach, DE

When choosing a professional insulation installer, consider asking these questions to determine the best fit.

  • Will you address air leaks in my house?

  • Can you provide an R-value (heat resistance) fact sheet?

  • What kind of insulation will work best for my home?

  • How do you handle signs of a water leak?

  • Are you licensed and insured?

  • Can you provide customer references?

The best type of insulation for your home depends on what you need, so the answer will depend on your specific situation. If you’re building a house, structural panels are easy to install during the building process in addition to being the most energy efficient type. If you live in a warm climate, reflective insulation may benefit you more as it costs less than other insulation types. And for standard attics, loose-fill, spray foam, or blown-in insulation work well.

If you plan to heat or cool your garage, you’ll need to insulate the garage ceiling. Insulating your garage ceiling will make your garage much more energy efficient and save on heating and cooling costs. Not only does insulation make your garage more energy efficient, it helps reduce noise and can extend the life of your garage roof. You can use fiberglass, cellulose, mineral wool, or spray foam insulation for this project.

In some cases, you may not have enough insulation to properly regulate your home’s temperature. Watch for a few signs your home needs more insulation, such as:

  • High heating and cooling bills

  • Uncomfortable room temperatures 

  • Ice dams on the edge of your roof 

  • Roof leaks

  • Cold floors and walls

  • Freezing pipes

  • Temperature fluctuations

  • Visibly low insulation

  • Noise problems

  • Pest problems

On average, insulating an attic costs about $2,500, ranging from $1,500 to $3,500, depending on the insulation type, amount, and your attic’s accessibility. Additional cost factors include sealing air leaks, removal or replacement of insulation, and inspections. Types of insulation include:

  • Blown-in: $1–$4 per square foot

  • Spray foam: $2–$5 per square foot

  • Batt: $2–$4 per square foot

  • Structural insulated panels: $4–$7 per square foot

  • Loose-fill: $2–$5 per square foot

  • Reflective: $0.50–$1.50 per square foot
