"Joel and his crew did a fantastic job. I really appreciated Joel's professionalism and thoughtfulness when he evaluated the problem and formulated the most effective solution. The work was done in a timely and efficient manner. And the best part it is, that I no longer have water in my basement despite many periods of very heavy rain. I also had Guardian waterproof the basement in my former house with similar positive results. I recommend them to the highest extent!"

"This was a huge job. A complete basement waterproofing - new internal drains installed and two new sump pumps installed. The guys were great - came on time worked hard all day and cleaned up after themselves. The only negative was at the completion of work when it was time to pay the amount was less than what was originally quoted. I told the guy that and he insisted that it was what he had. I even showed him the quote on paper. I paid it - glad it was less, but a few days later got a call from the office telling me I needed to pay another $1600 (the difference between the original quoted price and at the time of service price) I told her what the guy told me and she got a little rude saying "well you knew what the quoted price was" - yeah I DID know and was prepared to pay but after install HER guy insisted it was the price he had. I wasn't trying to get out of paying but the confusion on how much it costs was with the people working there. I didn't appreciate her attitude as if I was trying to skimp out of paying. Nevertheless, I ended up with this additional payment. However, the work is supposed to be guaranteed for life. No complaints there."

"Exceeded my expectation with waterproofing my entire basement + window wells. These guys are the real deal! I worked with Rob and I was educated and all my concerns were addressed. They do it right by you, the contract missed a window well and they were able to addressed that without having to go through a whole new quote/contract. Helped move some furniture around and left the place clean."

"Wendell truly lives up to his Companies name. He can be trusted to get the job done right. I needed help quickly as our house was on the market and the record rainfall was taking a toll on our basement. Wendell had his team come in within the next few days after the initial consultation and waterproofed the basement walls. They did need to come back and secure a few leaks, but he took care of it immediately. I'm very pleased with the work they've done and would refer them to my family and friends. He also offers a 3 year warranty, which gives me peace of mind for any future needs."

"We contacted JES due to water flooding in our basement during heavy rain. Jason Gamse was on time, took the time to thoroughly inspect our basement and explain the reasons of our issue. He presented our options and was able to give us a pricing on the spot. We recommend Jason to assess any basement foundation and waterproofing project."

"Juan and his team did another great job for us. They performed this necessary repair in a timely fashion and were very professional. They had to coordinate their work with the basement waterproofing people and they have no problem doing that. We intend on using this company for several other repairs in the future, and I would strongly recommend them!"

"Yes. Jay was great! He came and did an inspection and suggested I wait for the heavy rain that was coming to see if I had any issues. I called him back about 2 weeks later and he returned to drill into 2 areas in my basement. Put a camera or scope in to see if there was water in the walls? none! He cleaned up and caulked the holes. And would not take any money. He said only call him back if there were more problems"

"We had a great experience hiring '58 Foundations to waterproof our basement! Lon was our salesperson, and he came and explained the work that would be necessary to ensure that water would never flood our basement again. We appreciated him taking the time to explain how the whole process worked, and providing us with the option to finance the project to make it affordable for us. We had Brett Boyles and his crew, John and Clarence, come to do the work, and they did a fantastic job! Brett even came to show us the progress in the middle of the project and explained every detail of the work that was being done. He was very professional and we appreciated how he gave us peace of mind about everything once the project was completed. I would highly recommend '58 Foundations for anything basement-related. We appreciate your business - thank you!"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.

Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.
