Get matched with top basement waterproofing pros in Darnestown, MD

"I needed to address a problem in one corner of my basement before an appraiser came in for a refinance that was in process. I was very appreciative of the companies that responded and fit me into their busy schedules on very short notice. Jason from A Action Waterproofing came by to give me an estimate for basement waterproofing. Two days earlier another company quoted $5,200 -- they would dig up a large bush and 2 smaller plants I had had for years to put in two protective layers (one plastic, one asphalt) for my exterior basement wall, then replace the dirt and mulch. At this point, I was just hoping for a lower quote. Jason let me know 3 hours before his scheduled arrival that he would be running about 1-1/2 hours late because he needed to take his daughter to an appointment, and asked if that would be OK. I certainly respect anyone who puts family first, so it was not a problem. As soon as Jason arrived we went to the basement. He said water was not leaking in and there was just discoloration on the floor with some on the lower wall. All that was needed was to clean the walls, apply hydraulic cement where the floor meets the wall, then paint with DryLok, and I could do that myself. I already had a can of DryLok that had never been opened. He said there was no damage to the interior and exterior walls. He did that during heavy rains there was one location where the downspout from my roof connected to the drain pipe that left my property where water could be released onto the ground, which should be addressed. I was so happy with his diagnosis that I wanted to pay for his call, but he refused. I'll take care of this before the appraiser arrives end of the week. Now just need to see what the appraiser says."

"Basement Waterproofing Nationwide did excellent work in a timely and proffessional manner for a reasonable and appropriate fee. They said they would complete the work in 1-2 days and were done in one day. They were very careful and left things neater than they were before they came. We have used them before with great success and would use them again. So far, the problem we had, water in our basement, has not recurred, and our basement is bone dry. Tnank you Basement Waterproofing Nationwide."

"Angelo did a great job during the estimate process. Ends up that we didn’t need the work that we thought we needed and he was honest about that. Still provided me really great advice on what was needed so that I could rectify the issue. If I ever need waterproofing done, I’ll definitely be calling them first."

"The team arrived on time to do extensive work on my basement floor and walls and outside underground drainage issues. They worked tirelessly all day to remove old concrete, lay a new pipe system, pour new concrete, install sump pump, and seals. They prepped the walls and sealed and painted with Loxon paint. Radon seals were included in the redone areas. The outside work included installation of a new underground drainage pipe with pop up exit drain. A rubber membrane was installed behind the house siding. We?ve had several days of heavy rain since the waterproofing work was completed and the basement floor and walls have remained dry. We recommend Basement Gurus to other homeowners experiencing waterproofing problems for dependable and satisfying solutions."

"We needed to add supports under our main floor as well as waterproof the crawlspace. I have come across at least a dozen contractors of all shapes and sizes in the DC area since we moved here a year ago and none has taken care of me like Casey and his team at NV Waterproofing. Not only are they hard working, courteous and timely - they also are completely transparent and take pride in doing the job right the first time. Their passion for customer service and a job well done really resonates and now my house is stable and dry. Thank you Casey, Ricky & Pap! Highly Recommend!"

"I had waterproofing for a small segment of my basement. They did a professional job. Always on time and very efficient."

"I had an amazing experience working with Affordable Basement Waterproofing and would certainly recommend. The salesman Ken was very thorough and the install crew led by Mike and Greg could not have been more professional...and tidy. A couple of major snags occurred during the project to no fault of theirs (my basement floor had twice the amount of concrete as normal) which involved the crew working 2 extra days to finish at no extra charge. Couldn't be happier with the end result. Great price too as I got quotes from a handful of contractors. You won't be disappointed with Affordable Basement Waterproofing out of Pasadena, Md."

"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."

This company and crew is very impressive.  Here's a little background info.  Our property required a lot of help due to rainwater and a broken clay pipe (50 years old).  The house sits on the side of a hill.  When it rains, the water comes straight to the length of the whole house.  The previous owner had installed a "point" drain system which was useless.  They also installed a sprinkler system surrounding the whole property which works nicely for the planting beds. 

When David and Grant came out to the house for an initial consultation, I was very concerned about the disruption of current drains, the sprinkler system, and the shrubs.  First, while walking around the property, they were able to talk me through their process and reassure me that it could be done.  I never felt rushed, and they were patient with all my questions.

Second, Grant gave me an itemized price list for my property, so I could see where the money would be going.  I wasn't sure if I could afford it all at the same time.  The scope of work was major, but he was able to break it down into stages.  Through more emailing with Grant, another visit to the property, and other Angie List contractors coming out, I choose Drainage and Erosion to do the whole scope of work.  Their winter pricing and customers service sealed the deal.

Here's a list of the work done:  Excavating along the length of the house and creating two 30' French drains which flow into 6" pipes extending all the way to the curb (under sidewalk) on both sides of house (95'), Extending and connecting 3 downspouts on right hand side of house into a 6" pipe, Adding 3 drain cleanouts, Capping the 50 year old clay pipe that broke, Installing new sub pump piping and connecting into drainage pipes, Waterproofing wall/slab of foundation on Sunroom and two basement walls, Sealing cracks in walls, Installing 3 new window wells, Restoring grade for drainage, Removing all debris including shrubs not wanted, Transplanting two trees, The promise that our sprinkler system will be working in spring when it's turned on or they'll come out and fix it.

The actual job took only two days as contracted.  Grant came out the morning work began to answer questions and make introductions.  The crew of 11 men were hard working (9am-7pm) and also answered my questions.  All of this work was done by hand digging which allowed them to carefully move my sprinkler system and maneuver around the other piping.  When they were done, they seamed the grass back beautifully.  You couldn't tell what had been done unless you looked very closely.  Also the drainage holes in the cemented curb look as though they have been there forever.  We have 4 holes on the right and 3 on the left.

I highly recommend this company.

"Wendell and his son did a great job in repairing my basement wall which has been leaking water whenever a storm came in. Wendell provided a lot of information while setting up the appointment and diagnosing the issue. He offered multiple ways of dealing with it, but provided his own professional input on the best way rather than sell me on the most expensive option. He gave upfront honest pricing as well. Quality of work was great and they were fast and efficient in getting the job done. I would recommend Tru Integrity to anyone going through a similar issue of water getting into their basements."
