"Overall, we had a great experience. The waterproofing job was great and works perfectly. The only downsides to our job were: 1) they were suppose to seal off the things in our basement so they didn't get dusty - the seal job wasn't good though so we are still cleaning everything off as we have time weeks later. 2) they were supposed to cosmetically fix some cracks, but it looks sloppy. They just took a caulk gun to it... In our consultation, they had mentioned they would do this pretty, smooth coating thing, which was not done. 3) they did not clean up well. Our floors had dirt all over them when they left and I had to sweep/mop myself. While the above things were annoying, the important parts of the job (the actual waterproofing) were great and look and work perfectly. So I would still give them an A."
"I had OBA install outdoor french drains and new downspouts a couple of years before they waterproofed my basement. They were the only company I could find who did it all. Basement waterproofing included removing old, putting in new: full inside perimeter drainage, enlarge sump pit, 2 sump pumps, I-beams and carbon fiber straps. Added in brand new: battery backup for sump and vapor barrier on most affected wall. When my basement got wet a year later after the work was done, they didn't hesitate to schedule someone to inspect. If was heavy condensation, barely a thin puddle compared to 2 inches of flowing water. They had to rework a 6 ft section and add cement around the I-beams, each on their own call outs. They didn't charge because I have a lifetime warranty, transferable to the next owner. I'll be working with them again soon for a professional level dehumidifier."
"Plumb tite was incredible! We were about to list our house when we noticed the basement shower was leaking. Plumb tite got someone out the next week to inspect and order a replacement and the shower was in before our planned listing 2 weeks later."
"My name is Wesley, and I am a military Veteran. I recently utilized my VA Home Loan Benefits to purchase a brand new home for me and my son. Typically, one would not anticipate having any foundation defects or waterproofing issues when purchasing a brand new home. However, this was not the case with us. We had major issues with our basement, every time that it rained. I decided to reach out to CSI for assistance. They came out to my home in Somerset, KY and thoroughly inspected my basement. After assessing what the problem was, they quoted me an exceptionally reasonable price, and within one week; my problem was solved. I am completely satisfied with the quality of service that I received from CSI, and I would recommend this company to anyone in Kentucky who is having issues with the their home's foundation or issues with any type of leaks in your basement. CSI can be reached at (888) 857-0007, or at [email protected]. P.S. Tell'em dat "Big Wes" sent'chu. OORAH!!"

"When my water heater was in need of repair, I called them, they were prompt, courteous and professional. My water heater was 29 years old, no hope of a repair. I was shocked how much it cost to replace it. But I was given several options. I was told there was an issue with my vent, that there was a backdraft. I thought it was a sales pitch, so I found out how to check it my self. It was true, Carbon Monoxide was coming back into my basement. Yiikes. I went with a tankless water heater, mainly because of the warranty. The plumbers we very fast and friendly, it was complete in 5 hours. Inspection was included, of course we passed. I would recommend this company to everyone I know."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Florence homeowners can choose from foundation repair experts, drainage contractors, basement waterproofing specialists, and mold remediation professionals. Some general contractors and basement finishing companies also offer waterproofing as part of their services.

In Florence, keep an eye out for horizontal or widening foundation cracks, bowing basement walls, or recurring dampness after repairs. White chalky residue (efflorescence), persistent musty odors, or rust on metal fixtures can signal ongoing moisture problems. If you notice these issues worsening after heavy rainfall or during flood season, it’s best to consult a foundation repair specialist before the damage escalates.
Helpful?
Begin with a detailed inspection and moisture assessment to identify the source of leaks in your Florence home. Schedule work during dry weather, and obtain all required permits before starting any excavation or drainage work. Move valuables out of the basement, confirm utility lines are marked, and request written project timelines from your contractor. Staying proactive helps minimize delays and ensures a successful waterproofing project.

Combining basement waterproofing with upgrades like insulation, sump pump installation, or drainage system improvements can streamline your project in Florence. Coordinating with contractors who handle multiple services may reduce disruptions and help you avoid repeat permit applications. Scheduling these projects together during dry months often leads to a smoother process and ensures your basement is protected before tackling additional home improvements.

For minor basement waterproofing concerns in Florence, start by removing standing water with a wet/dry vacuum and running a dehumidifier to manage moisture.
