"King Waterproofing team were very professional, They did an excellent job with waterproofing & fixing the problem I had with water entering my basement."
"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."
"Crawlspaces.com performed as advertised. After 3 years, the waterproofing system continues to keep water out of the crawlspace. Additionally, after installation customer service was prompt and courteous. I would highly recommended."
"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."
"Very professional and prompt. They completed my job within the three days as promised. I would recommend them for waterproofing and structural issues."
"We had issues with water leaking into the basement after heavy rainfall and called SunDry to give us a quote for water proofing. The job was completed and two days later it rained and our basement flooded... the sales rep, Mario, came back out and said they didnt make the flange tall enough in one corner, so the contractors came back and fixed it and it was covered under the warranty. Why they didnt do it right the first time I am not sure. Everyone considering using this company must be careful of Mario. He is a classic salesman ready to tell you exactly what you need to hear to make a sale, so be VERY careful trusting everything he is telling you. He walked around our house and pointed at random cracks and splits and said we needed foundation piers or our house is going to sink. He quoted us $5600 for the job and said it would save us money if we did it during waterproofing. We called a foundation engineer for a second opinion and were told our house was perfectly fine and in no need for foundation piers. Also be wary of the cost for put back of the dry wall/studs/finishings after the waterproofing. Sundry does not do this part of the job and will tell you it will only cost a few hundred bucks...it is not. We got a quote for $1100 from the guy that Mario referred and the price didnt even include putting the laminate flooring back. Mario was calling us every week when we first got the quote to schedule the job, but as soon as we needed something from him (to connect us with the guy for put back), he was very unresponsive and didnt stick to his estimated time frames. Marios contractors also left a mess of our basement with cement and dirt stains on our intact flooring. Other than that, the contractors did a great and speedy job and were very kind and professional. All in all, I would recommend them for their pricing is the cheapest of all other vendors we spoke to and they were very quick. I can only hope that they stay around long enough and that our warranty will always cover future leaks/issues."
"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."
"I was impressed from the time Jose visited my home, understood what needed to be done and prepared a complete estimate. This was a tricky and labor intense job. Few people wanted to take it on and I was very worried if we would ever find a way to get the work done the way it should be. The cost was fair and successfully completed, as scheduled. I am thankful I found them, called and worked with them. They exceeded our expectations! Thank you Jose and Georgia Waterproofing and Tree Service!"
"I contacted CGS Waterproofing because I was getting water in my finished basement . CGS sent their Rep. Pierre Kaisin who quickly identified the problem and a solution to eliminate it. Thank you Pierre and Jay! Two weeks later they sent their A team - Jaime Flores, Carlos and their crew. They installed 60+ feet of interior perimeter drain and an estimated 10 feet of exterior drain. The crew was professional, courteous, neat and timely. Gulf Storm Delta hit just days later dropping an estimated 5 inches of rain and my basement stayed dry! I highly recommend CGS for your waterproofing needs! Thank you to all of the hard working men at CGS!"
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.
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.
Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.
If you decide to fill the space around your home’s foundation with landscaping materials, it’s important to consider the aesthetic as well as technical factors like drainage and protection from pests and the elements. Materials such as gravel, rubber mulch, concrete, and brick masonry are all good options.
Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation.
