221 I can't say enough about Joe Gaefe & Delbert and their crew! We had a leak in our basement, I contacted Joe on Friday and Delbert was at our house on Friday evening to see what was needed. We are scheduled to have our basement finished and were on a very slim timeframe to get it...
Plus DrainageWe had a small water leak that required removal of our Master Bath Toilet, a 3'x3' section of tile and some ceiling and drywall in the basement under the toilet. Dry Effect quickly came out, surveyed the situation and had someone out within a few days to do the remediation. They then did an...
Dry EffectBasement flooded due to rain and plumber was called to snake drain. They arrived on time and completed the job.
NEIHEISEL PLUMBING INCI just called the office to see if first the company offered a free estimate. The woman answering the phone asked me what the problem was and I told her that we had a leak in a window well (I think). Of course I really don't know what the problem is other than we have a leak in our basement...
AquaProof IncI heard about this place from a friend and thought I would try it since the Subaru dealer was unable to find the leak. Mike was able to find & repair the leak. Overall a good experience, friendly staff, & reasonably priced.
Auto4nRogers Basement Waterproofing did a great job and was a pleasure to work with. Paul met with us several times to explain the causes of our basement leakage issues in our 1920?s house and answered our many questions. Rogers wasn?t the least expensive of the alternatives, but we felt then,...
Rogers Basement WaterproofingFantastic! I have a dry basement. He did exactly what they said he would do. He arrived on time, repaired the crack for exactly what he said the charge would be, cleaned up his mess and left a warranty. My Dad has used this company on two occasions for two separate leaks and was very...
This morning my son noticed a puddle of water in the basement. I came home from work at 12:45pm and saw the puddle was under our dishwasher and seeped through the floor and into the basement. After calling Day's Appliance they said someone could be at my home the same afternoon. Pat...
Basement was leaking water during hard rains. They came out and looked at the cracks and said our Foundation was bowed and we needed a structural engineer to look at it. They gave me a card and left. My husband contacted him back and they came back out. This time a different person looked...

"Horrible horrible experience was lied to constantly didn’t do half of the work. I was told they would do. Cleanup is horrible. About more than half. The house didn’t get a system on the outside. Sump pump was put in the wrong side of the house that we agreed upon they are in no rush to help you. They only work on their time. Told me it was an inconvenience how far away I live after they took the job. I would highly highly recommend to never use Everdry and it was outrageously expensive."

"We had Remark Construction finish our basement recently, and honestly, the whole experience was fantastic. From day one, they were super professional, easy to talk to, and really respectful of our home and time. At the start of the project, we worked directly with Chris, the owner, and he was great—quick to respond, gave us a fair price, and explained everything clearly. He laid out the process in a way that made sense and didn’t drag things out. We always knew what to expect, and he gave us a few pricing options so my husband and I could make the best decision for us. When it came time to sign the contract, Chris and Jesse sat down with us and walked through every detail. They were so easy to work with and made sure we were all aligned before moving forward. The selection process was super smooth—the whole team helped guide us through it, and they made it easy for us to make choices without feeling overwhelmed. Once things got rolling, the project moved fast. Our site manager, Brandon, was amazing. He gave us true white glove service—always professional, incredibly detail-oriented, and consistently went above and beyond. He kept us updated daily and weekly, made sure we understood what was happening, and double-checked every decision before moving forward. He was also incredibly respectful of our home. Even though it was a construction zone, we were genuinely amazed at how clean and well-kept everything was every single day. It made a huge difference and showed how much care he put into the project. Before wrapping up, he made sure every last detail was perfect before asking for our final review, and handled anything we asked for. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out. Remark Construction made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!"

"The inspector contacted me prior to my appointment to get some preliminary information in preparation for our meeting. He arrived on time. We spent some time discussing my concerns about possible settling of my home's foundation and then walked through the basement and exterior. He performed a detailed inspection of the home externally and internally, taking numerous measurements. He showed me the measurements and explained his findings. It turned out, there was no serious settling or shifting of the foundation. Ultimately, his recommendation was to take no action. I appreciate his thoroughness and honesty."

The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
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.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
