"These guys are great. I received a quote from another company that was much higher and when I showed the competitor's quote to Kings Waterproofing, the other company had quoted incorrect information and services that I didnt need. Kings Waterproofing came out and completed my basement encapsulation within 2 days. They also put in extra support beams where I was experiencing floor sagging. I am so happy with the way my crawl space looks and smells now."
"Workers were on time, cordial and professional. Work was completed in the time and as stated. Premises were left clean. Though all was to moved, workers detached and moved a shelf that was on a wall they needed to work on. Also, I had been told that steps they had to move would not be replaced, but they were kind enough to put some part of them back so that I can get into the basement before they are replaced permanently. Options were explained for preventing water from entering a door that had a sunken area outside. Any questions I had were willingly answered. It was a pleasant experience."
"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"
"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 and team just finished a job for us. Waterproofed about 1600 sq ft. Outstanding work. Very knowledgeable and skilled. His team were professional, courteous and cleaned up every night before they left. The only reason I am giving a 4.5 instead of a 5 is due to some response times for questions asked via email or messages. To be fair, this was in the middle of the rainy season and I know they were very busy. Overall, a very fine job."
"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!!"
"We called CGS Waterproofing before COVID struck and had to keep rescheduling our sump pump/waterproofing project but we finally decided on a date, and they came out on our schedule. The CGS staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Their employees were very friendly and professional and did a great job for us and we can rest easy knowing that our basement is waterproofed. They did a great clean-up after the job was done, and I would say CGS is the best value for this type of job that you could find."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
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.
In nearly all cases, you are required to install a vapor barrier in your crawl space. However, local regulations will change based on the local climate and the crawl space's susceptibility to moisture. Even if a vapor barrier is not legally required, it is often a good idea to keep your crawl space dry.
You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home.
However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.
Make sure you're calling in the right expert to help repair and/or clean your crawl space. A serious issue may require multiple experts that include a local mold remediation pro, an HVAC pro, a foundation pro, and a plumber. You should also consider using a nearby junk removal service to avoid handling debris that could be covered in mold, fungi, rot, or asbestos.
