"They fixed the leak and put in a sump pump and water trench. The basement leaked 2 more times afterwards, but they returned to correct it right away. We were responsible all 3 times to repair the drywall and wood landing at the bottom of the stairs,so I called saying that I should not have to keep fixing those thing over and over. The CEO of the company called back and came out to the house himself to inspect. He had his people come out to the house again to do more that he felt would fix the problem for good, as well fixing the drywall and landing at no cost. It was a frustrating experience, but this company and it's CEO stood by thier work and made it right. I would use them again."

"KCS did a great job installing an egress window in my basement. They communicated well from the day of the sale until completion of the project. All workers were respectful and efficient. When equipment issues caused a delay in finishing on Friday afternoon, a crew came on Saturday and completed the work. They seeded the area that was dug up by equipment and put straw over it, leaving everything neat and uncluttered. I recommend them highly!!"

"We thought that we had foundation problems causing leaks showing on our sheetrock in the basement. When TFS arrived to access the problem they were unable to find the problem without tearing out the sheetrock.. we decided to address faulty downspouts first in case that was the cause of the problem. TFS did a very good job with this project."

"The job was not as neat as others I have seen. The wall panels were cut uneven and I had to scrap and wipe dried concrete off them. A drain they put in the floor to reroute the furnace humidifier drainage tube did not drain and water kept backing up on the floor. They did not put the panels in an area in the back corner and it leaked there. The owner in the office was very difficult to deal with when I called about the problem. She tried to say it was my fault because I didn't specify I wanted that area done. I asked to have the basement waterproofed and thought that would include everything that needed to be done. One good thing is they gave me a break on the price for the additional work."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Regular inspections, proper drainage management, and ensuring soil stability help prevent future settlement issues.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

Yes, you can enclose your crawl space. Enclosing your crawl space can promote energy efficiency and reduce the risks of pests and mold by limiting factors like humidity. It can also reduce heat loss, which is why doing so for the winter can make your home more comfortable.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.

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.
