"We highly recommend US Waterproofing. Unfortunately, after repeated issues (we’ve had water getting through a basement door, water backing up from drain/sewer pipe, foundation cracks – all which were addressed) we now have had issues with hydrostatic water pressure delivering a great deal of water to our finished basement. Only one solution – drain tiles and sump pump installation. US Waterproofing was outstanding, every step of the way. They communicated clearly what was needed, and much to our surprise, what was not. They did not ever try to sell us anything that was not needed – only what was – installation of drain tile, window well drains, sump pump, and all work related. All of the crews involved were outstanding – in particular, the crews installing the drain tile and sump pump. The supervisor clearly and concisely explained every step – and when issues arose, they were dealt with promptly. The teams removing drywall and reinstalling also did very good work, and were very responsive. Everything was done correctly, and on schedule The work is now complete – and the basement is back to normal. I commend USW on all facets – they explained everything, did not try to oversell anything, and were responsive to issues as they arose. All the way around – sales, customer support, install teams – outstanding. If you have an issue with water in your home, please consider US Waterproofing."

"I hired Gardner Services originally for just mold testing. Dave was very knowledge and professional. Easy to schedule appointments with and very punctual. Very thorough. After talking with Dave, I learned he was also an experienced handyman. Since first hiring Dave for the mold inspection on our new home, we have also hired Dave as a handyman. Had an unexpected leak in our basement; he immediately came out to fix it. This guy knows his stuff!! From electric work, to pluming, to mold inspection, and so much more!! And he's super honest, which is a HUGE plus!! Will definitely recommend!!! Thanks"

"They are great to work with. Communication was superior. They stand by their work. A few years ago I had waterproofing done in my basement and this time they spray foamed the cavities of the basement too. Both times they did awesome work and cleaned up too! I highly recommend this company!"

Small jobs welcome

I’m Adam majority of my skills and talents are for outside your home. I have a career in underground construction where I replace, install, and fix pipes for water, sanitary, and drainage from 72” concrete pipe 1/2” sprinkler lines. If you are having issues with water drainage,septic or really anything underground I’m your guy. I specialize in in a wide range of landscaping such as mulch beds, garden boxes, trimming and removing bushes, and planting trees&bushes. Also I can trim or remove that old tree that has been an obstacle or eye sore for you. I grew up helping my dad and grandfather in their landscaping business. I started running a chainsaw when I was 9 yrs old. Patios, retaining walls, or flagstone for walkways or edging I can give them a fresh new look or I can install them from a blank canvas. Mother nature can be rough on any deck or fence over years and can become an eye sore or even dangerous I can give them new life for the summer. Hope to hear from you soon.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Water damage to concrete is often gradual and can take months, if not years, for a concrete structure to be fully destroyed. The process often starts with cracks on the surface, followed by sinking slabs and eventually crumbling cement. Therefore, it is important to repair minor damages early to prevent the situation from worsening.

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.

It depends on what caused your basement flooding, the extent of the problem, and the risk of the flood continuing. If your flood is coming from a septic system or sewer line, breathing in the sewer gasses can be dangerous, so you should vacate. If the flood occurs from an ongoing natural disaster, relocating to a safe area might be wise. If you just have a plumbing leak or rainwater coming in, you can likely stay in the house if you don’t have electrical lines down there, but make sure you call in professionals to fix the issue immediately.

No, everything doesn’t get wet if the bathroom is well-designed and the fixtures are properly installed. It’s important that the floor of a wet room drains correctly, and proper waterproofing and slip-resistant flooring are used to avoid creating slipping hazards. Since the shower isn’t housed in an enclosed space, you’ll need to make sure the towel rack and toilet paper holder are placed in areas where they won’t get wet.

Yes, water and water vapor can seep through cracks in your basement floor, which means you should address all basement floor cracks, even if they don’t indicate structural issues. Sealing settling cracks and shrinkage cracks is a good idea to keep water and moisture outside where it belongs. Doing so can improve your indoor air quality, reduce the risk of mold growth, make your home more comfortable, and help prevent pest infestation.
