"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."

"After living in our house for 20 years, we had seepage for the first time in one part of our basement. We called several waterproofing places that morning and ULB was by far the most responsive. The same day we called, Stoyan came out to see the leak, diagnose the cause, and propose a fix. Stoyan did an excellent job at explaining the problem and scheduling the repair. Within two days, Kyle came to fill the crack. His work was also excellent. Stoyan and Kyle both came to our house at the times promised and were very good at answering the questions we had. We were very impressed with ULB and highly recommend them."

"I had complex issues in my basement resulting in repeated flooding, and in a couple of cases extreme. I had several waterproofing companies out to help solution, Atlas's proposal was by far the most thoughtful and thorough. Everyone I interacted with was super professional and courteous. The work was done on time and as expected, my property was left clean and back together."

"Out of the three basement waterproofing experts we called to offer solutions after getting a lot of water in the basement of our 1925 home, Joe at The Real Seal was the only one who seemed to take serious time in investigating the cause. He even came back a second time after we got more water in another spot to see what could be causing it and what a cost-effective solution might be. On top of that, the price was right! We never ever felt pressured into committing to the work, and they seemed confident in their skills to get the job done. Our partial interior drain tile job was finished in two days. While we can't yet vouch for the drain tile's efficacy since we haven't gotten a large spring rain yet and we're still in the process of refinishing our basement after it was demoed for this work, we expect we'll have a dry basement!"

"I had been seeing water damage on the ceiling drywall in my basement for a while. I've had two other plumbing companies tell me that the water I was seeing was likely due to condensation on the pipes and that I had nothing to worry about. However, the water damage had continued to get worse, so I opened the drywall and realized that I had a pipe leaking from the kitchen sink on the 1st floor. I called J&S Plumbing at 10am and they had a two man crew at my house at 10:30am. They immediately diagnosed that the leak was coming from the sink drain pipe and let me know that they would have to open the wall behind the sink to properly access the pipe. They put drop cloths down and did a great job cutting open a very neat and clean square opening in my wall. They cut the drywall in a way that it will be very easy to screw the piece back to the studs and mud and tape! Once the wall was open they were able to quickly identify where the leak was coming from. They cut out the bad piece of pipe and put in new PVC. They tested to make sure the leak was repaired. All of this took just over an hour to complete. They did such a good job that I asked them to look at the toilet in my master bath that I've suspected was not set properly by a previous company. They identified that the wax ring used by the previous company was not sufficiently placed and that the toilet was leaking. The drain pipe for my toilet sits about a 1/2 inch below the tile so they used a larger and thicker wax ring to correctly seal the toilet. The technicians did an amazing job, were super personable and very respective of my 5 month old that was in the house. They were super quiet and did their work in a fast and efficient manner. I will be using J&S for all of my future plumbing needs!"

"I worked with Austin Werner at Real Seal to get some basement sump pump work done. He came out initially and gave me a quote and different options for my basement sump pump. He was very knowledgeable and gave pros and cons of different options. The quote was priced very fairly. They were able to get us on the schedule quickly. On the day off, the Real Seal technician called me the morning to let me know what time they would be here. The job was done very professionally and they answered all my questions. They cleaned up after the install. Highly recommended."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Generally, moisture barrier padding costs $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, varying by brand and mix. That’s a lot more than standard padding, which runs $0.25 to $0.90 per square foot. The price difference between these two options might seem steep, but think of it as insurance against future carpet replacement costs and subfloor damage. If you have pets or kids, that extra investment in high-risk areas like your living room often pays off.

Yes. Water can penetrate through a concrete foundation wall. This can happen whether or not you have cracks, as concrete is a porous material. You’ll want to take steps to waterproof your basement or crawl space.

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.

Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.
