"King Waterproofing is a great and reliable company. I was pressed for time and King Waterproofing came through when I needed . They were very great at their job ,efficient, and neat and clean as well . They did an awesome job on my basement and didnâ t take forever to do the job and the best part is the lifetime warranty. That gave me the piece of mind I needed."
"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"
"Excellent!! Highly recommended!! I was not able to choose the specific project. Based on the other reviews, it seems to be all of the above. Rosales Waterproofing did the most excellent job waterproofing my basement and the foundation of my home. My house feels and smells healthier because of the caring work they did. I am very grateful to Home Advisor for connecting me with Mr. Rufino Rosales. I am very thankful to Mr. Rosales for his expertise. I spoke with several waterproofing representatives. He exceeded them all in every way. His knowledge, intuitiveness, experience, straightforwardness, and his genuine kindness were matchless. Thank you GOD for sending Rosales Waterproofing my way!!!"

Overall, our interaction with the team was pleasant and professional."

"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
If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.
Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
Several types of insulation are effective for crawl spaces, with spray foam and rigid foam boards being two of the best options. Closed-cell spray foam insulation is a strong choice because it effectively repels moisture, resists biological growth, seals the air, and provides excellent thermal protection, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Rigid foam insulation boards are another excellent material as they insulate well, resist water damage, and will not settle over time like fiberglass or cellulose.
Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:
Using dehumidifiers
Silicate concrete sealers

Drain tile systems
Waterproofing paint

Interior French drains
Exterior excavation and waterproofing
Cement waterproofing
Weep tiles

Yes, outside leaks can easily cause damage to your home if you don’t have waterproofing measures in place.
