"I had 4 different water proffing companys come to my house. Brad from Roberts was the second company. My husband was at work. Brad talked to me like I had a brain. He showed me on paper what would be done. He looked at my walls and told me I did not have any damage like walls pushing in. He gave me an estamate of how much it would cost. I called him back and ask if he could come back and explain some things to my husband. He came back. After talking to my husband we had decited to have Roberts do the work. My husband called Brad and he gave us a start date. The day for the work to start 3 truck came to my house. They were right on time. They came to my door and ask if they could back in my driveway. I told them yes it is big we  use to have a tractor trailer. Chad took me into the basement and walked me throw what was going to be done. The first thing the workers did was put things on my floor and covered the opening in my kitchen so no dust would come into my house. They got right to work. I heard the the jack hammers. They worked all day and took 20 minutes for lunch. When they left the first night they came and told me. My husband and I went into the basement and the floor around the walls had been jack hammered rock placed in the hole, pipe placed on the rock then more rock on top of the pipe. My husband wanted to do some plumbing so he had them jack hammer the floor in our shower room. Oh Yes the other 3 companys told us WE would have to tear our shower room out so they could Jack Hammer the floor. Brad told us just take the toliet and sink out and leave the walls and shower!!!!! That saved us at least $1000.00!!! They tunneled  under the walls and under our shower!!! They jack hammered the floor for my husband and he did his plumbimg. Today they came back right on time.The crew came in and said hi and went to work. They covered my floors and opening into my kitchen again. I thought it was going to take 3 days or more. They concreted around the floor over the rock and pipe. They concreted the bathroom floor where my husband did some plumbing and installed the sump pump. I really did not want a sump pump but did want a dry basement. They cleaned up and cleaned my floor. Mark came and got me. It was only 1:30. I thought he needed something. He said he wanted me to look. We went down stairs. Oh My Gosh!! It was done!! It looks like someone used a machine to smooth out the concrete. My floor was so clean. There was not rocks or concrete left on my floor. Mark poured a bucket of water in the sump pump to show me how it worked. I did not hear a motor running. This is going to be great!!! He showed me where he took the pipe out side where my husband wanted it. I told Mark my husband would take care of that but he said no that was his job and that is what he does. My husband is going to love that. He went over the warranty with me and I signed the papers. All of the workers were so nice. I never heard a bad word spoke and when they spoke to me they were all so nice.
 Roberts was not the cheapest waterproofing company but they saved me so much work and money by tunneling under my shower and walls that to me they were the cheapest!!! There work was unbelieveable. They were on time and what nice people work for Roberts. I will use them again if I ever have a need and will tell all of my family and friends to use them.

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

“Basement waterproofing” sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.

The most challenging part of finishing a basement is addressing moisture control. Basement waterproofing is an essential task that requires a professional’s skills and knowledge. If you don’t properly waterproof your finished basement, it’ll be vulnerable to dampness, water damage, and mold growth. Ensuring proper insulation and ventilation to combat these issues while meeting building codes adds complexity to your remodeling project.

The most flood-resistant materials you can count on in a flood scenario are concrete, closed-cell insulation, foam insulation (also known as expandable foam), pressure-treated wood, marine-grade plywood, and ceramic tile. When a material is flood-resistant, it can withstand direct contact with floodwater for at least 72 hours without being significantly damaged.

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.

Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn’t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it’s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won’t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try repairing your brick wall instead.
