"Rod & the guys at SealProMax have been incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout the stressful situation which was my leaky basement. Rod came in and was able to describe how their product works, gave a live test sample, then explained that they will use as much solution as necessary to stop all water from entering my basement. After 3 days worth of locating and filling cracks & air pockets with their material, it appears that my basement no longer will see flooding every time it rains. They have been adamant about the quality of their product and have given me the piece of mind knowing that they will return as many times as needed in order to ensure that our problem will not return. Add all of this on top of their warranty and I can happily say that their service has been well worth the money spent. I would recommend Rod & his crew to anyone in need of waterproofing any leaks in their basement who are willing to spend their money on a product & service that cannot be matched."
"It comes out exactly what I’m expecting. My basement stays dry until now problem solved without the inconvenience of a construction noise in your basement. The duration of the job is very minimal and the price is reasonable. Very professional."
"Had a great experience with this company! Estimate and scope of work was clear, the price was fair, and Bryce and Jose went above and beyond to reroute my dryer vent inside of an interior wall and away from the waterproofing area! Definitely would recommend"

Because we were so satisfied with their services, we reached out to them once again to take care of our exterior waterproofing and termite problem. As always, their professionalism is above par. They solved our issues in a timely, thorough and affordable manner. I highly recommend their services to others."
"I had a really bad termite problem in my first floor staircase, but when I hired Davide and his team, we had no idea how bad the situation was. Davide and his crew really worked with me to make sure we got to the bottom of the problem to fix it, and they did a very solid job rebuilding the staircase. They were friendly, professional, and really cared about the work they do. There were some minor problems with punctuality because of the horrible traffic condition."
"Overall installation went really well. Karl constantly shows ingenuity on any project he works on. He seems to be able to look at a picture and easily re-create it. For example: I handed him 2 newel posts a 8 foot piece of base molding, an 8 foot 5" wide piece of MDF, some bead board, a side panel and a base kitchen cabinet... and he built a beautiful kitchen island. Bottom line- you give him the materials and the idea and he will bring it to life. On top of everything else, Karl is sincere, honest and shows up as promised. He is definitely the exception among your usual lot of South Florida contractors. "
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Topical sealers adhere to the surface of concrete to create a protective layer. In many cases, this is all you need for concrete that sees light to moderate traffic, such as your basement. Penetrating sealers, on the other hand, bond with the free lime in the top layer of concrete to form calcium silicate, which prevents liquid from passing through. This type of sealer protects the surface from water, oil, and gasoline spills.
When doing any type of project involving mold, it's important to wear the right protective gear. You'll want an N-95 or KN-95 mask to keep yourself from inhaling mold spores, which can be irritating or trigger an allergic reaction in people with weakened immune systems. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear and gloves to limit your contact with mold.
Typically, waterproofing a basement should last up to 10 years. However, it’s worth noting that with proper maintenance and depending on the waterproofing method and installation quality, you can probably squeeze another decade out of it.
Ductwork sweats due to a temperature difference between the air inside the ducts and the surrounding air, similar to how a cold drink develops condensation in the heat. This sweating is a sign that your HVAC system is not operating at peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in proper insulation, which also improves your system's energy efficiency. Another option is to close off your crawl space and install a dehumidifier to dry the air and lower its dew point.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
