The experience went exceptionally well.  All work was performed as specifically noted on the estimate and contract.  The work was completed timely.  The workers were polite, courteous and answered all questions that my wife or I had, and allowed us to see the progress of the work.  The owner, Craig, was accessible throughout the project and promptly responded to any/all concerns we had.  We were thoroughly pleased with the process from start to finish, and will certainly recommend All About Waterproofing Inc to our friends and family.   JOB WELL DONE!

My experience with them has been satisfactory; I am happy with them. They know what they are doing and do it right as far as I can see. Their price is reasonable too. I am about to use them again.

All aspects were explained in detail before work started.  Crew arrived on time each day and completed the work within the agreed upon timeframe.  The waterproofing came with a guarantee, that conveys with the house.  I would recommend All About Waterproofing highly.

They worked very hard.... very diligent, punctual and even finished early-- probably because they worked so hard.  We were really impressed as this was serious hard labor, and being out in the cold all day is not easy or fun task. They had to dig up our bushed and replaced everything back exactly as it was initially.
Considering how hard they worked, and this project was 3 days of intense labor, I actually feel in retrospect that charging us $5600.00 was steal as they really earned it.

Craig was the second contractor out of three to come to conduct a free inspection of my basement. I contacted his company for services after  I noticed water coming through holes in the cinder blocks of my basement unfinished wall created by the prior owner having a closet system installed in this area. What attracted me to his company Initially was the personable service portrayed by his website and with speaking with him. I had already pressumed that the sump pump didn't work correctly and the basement needed to be sealed properly due to me noticing a lot of insects and snake skin in this area. Of course I learned it was worse than I thought. The difference with this company service compared to the other compainies that I had come to conduct an inspection was very noticeable. When Craig came  to my home he asked me questions to get a perspective of what issues I was really dealing with. Being that I had only been the owner of my home for a year I could only suspect what the issues were. Yet, Craig immediately took a look at the sump pump and showed me that it was definietly not properly working. He also observed all four walls and the current water drain system in place and explain how it was doing nothing for releasing the water pressure in the walls. (The first contractor I had didn't touch a thing!) Craig also listened to my concerns of the house potentially not being properly sealed and advised that he should conduct a inspection of exterior as well. Craig was the only contractor that took the information I provided and showed me how the water tracks on the wall displayed that as I suspected, the exterior was not properly sealed and was allowing water to flow over the wall and not just the holes in the motor joints of the wall. I was told adamantly by first contractor that my issue would be resolved by installing the water drain system to the interior of the house only. But as Craig showed during the performance of the work, my floor board to the basement had rotted away and created a hole to allow water (and the snake) directly into the unfinished basement area. I am greatly satisfied with work performed by Craig and his crew. Since the work has been performed I have not seen a trickle of water in my basement! Additionally, I have to say it was great to have familiar face appear with the crew, in that Craig (whom is also the owner) was in attendance of the work being performed and supervised the entire process. I admit that this display of work ethic reaffirmed to me that the job was being done right! I believe that I was given a fair price for the work and got even more. I was quoted at a $1000.00 more with the first contractor and that was just for the interior drain system on the front wall! I am certain that I went with the right company and that my water issues have certainly been solved. Thanks Craig to you and your crew; and a wonderful job well done!

I love All about Waterproofing. They did our French Drain. I have nothing but good to say about them. They have been amazing, they gave me the warranty. They were responsive. We went through Environmental Protection attorneys and they did the utmost, all the extra bells and whistles to help.

I am a Realtor that has been in the business for for over 15 years. I have used a lot of waterproofers. In my experience, there is a huge "sales" push that comes with waterproofing. I've (regularly) seen waterproofers try and "sell" $13,000 "solutions" to my Clients, for a problem that could be fixed with landscaping and gutters. Or I see companies start out great, but, then get so large that they have estimators (clearly on commission) who are kind of running a muck. Or even worse... the company was great, but, grew so large that they became a salable company. Then, once the company is sold/in new hands... good luck with that warranty!  
Craig and his team are fantastic to work with. I used them in my own home. All About Waterproofing didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. In fact, he found a great way to reduce my cost and offer me a better solution.  
His construction team lead was well spoken & easy to work with. Everyone on the job from start to finish was respectful & efficient. They gave me a truly transferable warranty. They did a great job, at a very fair price & were in and out within 48 hours. Hands down the best waterproofer I've ever worked with. 
Hopefully I won't have to use another waterproofer in one of my own homes. But, if I do, I know I'll be calling All About Waterproofing. In my work as a Realtor though, I'll be recommending All About Waterproofing often and breathing a sigh of relief when I see their name attached to a waterproofing job on a home for sale!
sPS-I got AAW's info from another friend that is in waterproofing. That's right, his competition recommended him for the job!

If I could use only two words to describe Craig Kripas (owner) I would say trustworthiness and excellence.
He and his workers (foreman Edmondo, and the other three) were hard working, honest, and did an incredible professional job for a fair price. They know their business, (Check out their website, it is educational, allowing you to read up and understand what Craig and crew are going to do to waterproof and make your home safe and healthy), and they do not cut corners on doing it correctly.
I was married to a subcontractor for 18 years, and this is the first professional (Craig Kripas) whose work-ethic and excellence are comparable to my former husband's- who was without equal in his line of work: cabinetmaking and finish.
BEFORE: Craig came and crawled through my crawlspace, took photos, uploaded them unto his laptop, and explained what needed to be done. He sent me an estimate that night via email. My crawlspace had cracks, leaking water, was moist, insulation was wet and falling down, the light plastic that the former owner had laid in the crawlspace was not taped at the seams, and had pools of water where the ground underneath it was not level. There was junk thrown in my crawlspace, no sumppump or electrical hook up, and mold.
AFTER: Craig and crew were able to finish in 3 days, which was a window when the weather held out a little less than that time in early February. They  leveled the crawlspace ground, reinforced any floor supports that needed (in my 1938 bungalow), dug trenches and laid drain and installed the sump-pump, then went on to shovel and level rounded stone gravel (that does not puncture the 6 mil plastic overlay), to make it easy to crawl through. I went and inspected with Edmondo, and crawled through the crawl space. It was clean, dry, and even cozy, although a little clausterphobic for my taste.
They dug window wells, and replaced the old ones, repaired the brick on the exterior around the window wells, repaired the brick around the entrance to the crawl space, built a new hinged hatch and installed it, graded the landscape so that the water ran away from my home, extended the downspouts, and probably a hundred other things that I didn't notice.
OVERALL: I have never been more pleased with work done, as well as their polite, thoughtful approach. (I did not feel pressured in any way, Craig is soft-spoken, and explained and gave me choices on how he could fix the problem/ and costs per task, if I needed to do it in stages or only wanted to do the minimum). 
Kraig Kripas and his crew are professional, trustworthy, do excellent work, and delivered beyond my expectations, which is a difficult thing to do.

It was very hard and noisy work but they brought a full, experienced crew and completed on time with quality results. Craig, the owner, has always been very professional and responsive, before, during, and after the installation of the drainage system. He has stood by the lifetime guarantee that his company offers and has responded quickly the few times I've had questions about the state of the system. So far the drainage system has always checked out fine and it has been operating for roughly 10 years now.

They came in and had to install carbon fiber straps on 2 basement walls as well as a new waterproofing system. They replaced the sump pump and installed an additional sump pump with back-up battery.  They cleaned up and really did a wonderful job. We are very happy with the work they did for us.   We would highly recommend them!

They were excellent. I ended up spending $7100 for their service. They were incredible workers. I have never ever seen people work so hard. It’s a mess when you get that done. They jackhammer and break through your basement floor around the entire perimeter of the house. They were very clean and very efficient. The guy that runs the business was very responsive. Overall, they were excellent and everything about them was excellent.

It was a very positive experience. The head of the company is named Craig Kritas. He came and did the assessment and it was a thorough review. We ve had other contractors come in who just said if you have a wet problem to just put some pump over there. He basically did a good review of the setting and what was needed. He described exactly what needed to be done and when he could do it. I had to reschedule and he was very easy to reschedule with. They came and they were both very tidy and quick. He performed the job in exactly the time frame he said he would. He was very good.
