"The King Waterproof team did a great a job waterproofing my basement, the side of my house and the price was fair and reasonable. They were honest and worked very hard and I was really happy with the outcome. What I liked about them the most is they waterproofed the inside and and outside of the house. Most waterproofing companies only do the inside and felt we they provided a more complete solution. I would strongly recommend King Waterproofing to anyone who is look for an honest company who does exemplary work at a great price."
"I had tight time constraints and Sundry Waterproofing delivered! A previous plumber had dug 5-6 feet below the dirt line and made some holes in my foundation to fix a sewer drain issue. Unfortunately, the plumber never finished the job and left me with several holes in my foundation and a pile of dirt in my driveway. Upon my call, Sundry came out the next day and gave a reasonable quote to fix this, as well as replace some insufficient vapor barriers in my crawl spaces. I agreed and they were able to schedule the job quickly. On service day, the work crew, headed by William, arrived on time and got to work. The crew (especially William) was very professional and got the job done in about 3 hours. I thank William and his crew for a job well done, and Curt (the owner) for his flexibility. I highly recommended these folks. "
"They had to take out a portion of my front wall which was not planned on, and the conic quality of the concrete was not as good as I thought it should be they destroyed the brick wall that they said they would be able to save and I think they also damaged an additional plumbing line, which I’m going to have to have repaired But we did get the leaking stopped, which was the big part of the problem they had to dig up the entire front foundation down to the 8 foot footer and re-waterproof the wall put in a French drain system and a new drainage system for the gutter and a sump pump"
"I recommend CGS Waterproofing, mainly for the work , being done really good. Was easy to communicate, they were here early to start the job and as soon it was done I had a walk through with the inspector to see the final results.overall totally recommend the company !"
"I hired Rufino and his team to work on waterproofing my basement. Their quote was much more affordable than the other more commercial companies out there. They did an excellent job. We had good communication and they completed the job promptly. Rufino answered all my questions and concerns. His team left the basement and yard very clean. I highly recommend them for your waterproofing needs."
"The service we received from Sundry Waterproofing was top notch. The salesperson, Jhonatan, provided detailed information about the process which was very helpful. Jack, the foreman, along with his team executed the plans for our basement waterproofing with precision and care. The team completed the work on time.
Overall, our interaction with the team was pleasant and professional."
"Along with new driveway they waterproofed my garage wall, that was leaking and installed diverters for the water from my roof. Would recommend them for any concrete work and waterproofing you would need done. ONLY REASON FOR 4.5 STAR IS THEY LEFT A LARGE STAIN IN THE ROAD IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE DUE TO HYDROLIC LEAK IN ONE OF THERE MACHINES. {POWER WASHER WILL NOT REMOVE IT}"
"Hugo was prompt and professional in coming out and giving us an estimate and an overview of what he was going to do. We were not sure if our problems were due to a leaky shower or if it was due to a foundation problem. Nevertheless we chose All-Pro Waterproofing to ensure we covered all our bases. It would have been good if we had an overview of what problems were or were not found once the project was completed. The crew who came to the house did an exemplary job of cleaning up and took care not to disturb the plants around the work area."
"A+++ finished job. Requested detailed job with patio drains. Maybe a little bit unusual design but.gave me exactly what I wanted. Would absolutely recommend this company. Skilled workers who were tidy and cleaned afterwards. Made me happy!!"
"I definitely recommend CGS waterproofing to anyone with water problems in their house. I have been having waterproblems in my basement for last two years. Renato came in explain the problem and gave us options. Best price after getting multiple estimates."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
If you don’t wish to dig it out and convert it into a finished basement, you can still encapsulate your crawl space to protect it from damage for an average cost of $5,500. Finishing a crawl space beyond this isn’t really worthwhile, as the low ceilings mean you won’t be able to use the area as living space.
If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:
Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.
Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.
Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.
To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.
In perfect conditions—meaning, no overexposure to the elements without roofing material on top of it—an ice and water shield can last for decades. In fact, many come with a limited lifetime warranty because they should last for a long time. If, however, the membrane is exposed to the elements during building or if there is a delay in installing the roofing material, it might only last up to 180 days if exposed to the elements. The key is to make it a layer of protection and then protect that layer by installing the roofing.
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.
Proper basement ventilation is very effective at reducing humidity. Without enough ventilation, your basement is prone to mold and moisture damage. Your basement should have as much natural ventilation via windows and doors as possible, and if your budget allows, you should also consider installing an ERV system to keep basement humidity levels at bay.
