"John the owner was very professional. He explained all aspects of the waterproofing work that was to be done. Any questions we had, he answered so that we understood what was to be done. He was respectful and pleasant during the entire process. When we left messages needing to speak to John, he was prompt in returning our calls or texts. John's crew was also professional and resp0ectful. They were thorough in performing the waterproofing job as John had explained it. The work was completed within the timeframe. The crew did a great job on the waterproofing as well as cleaning up the areas. We are very pleased with the completed. There has been an extremely heavy rain for an extended period of time since the work was completed. I can honestly say the water problem is no longer an issue--basement is totally dry. We believe we made the best choice in choosing John's company, Brother's Waterproofing, LLC, to do the work,"

"Roland jr and his crew from MD Waterproofing did a great job under difficult circumstances. A previous renovation by a previous owner dropped the basement floor. What we didnâ t realize is that they had never added underpins so the foundation was undermined. Once Rolandâ s crew broke into a wall to solve a leak, they saw this. They explained the issue clearly and explained the remedy. We were able to quickly get a new quote for the additional work from our company contact, Steve Maney, who was very professional throughout this. Total cost for our house was just over $20k for underpinning two walls and redoing the associated French drains. We will definitely go with MD Water proofing to finish the last two walls, once we have the money saved"

"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."

"We are the 2nd owners of a 15 year old home. Don't know why the original owner/builder did not put a sump pump in the basement, as it would have been a cheaper option in the end. If you are building a new home with a basement, put a sump pump in, don't scrimp on what is a very valuable insurance policy. After looking at a handful of other companies to retrofit a sump pump in our cellar, we picked All Aspects Waterproofing, LLC. They did a great job! Very high quality work, and outstanding service. They did a great job! We enthusiastically recommend All Aspects Waterproofing to any homeowner!"

"After the waterproofing was done I have been working to replace the paneled walls in my basement that they had to cut 4' up because of my leak areas. To early to tell about the leaking, but so far so good."

"

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.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that—like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier—can help keep musty odors from returning.

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

The most expensive foundation repair method is to install helical piers. Helical piers are a type of steel pier used to support sinking foundations in areas with poor soil conditions or deep bedrock. This foundation repair method can cost up to $3,000 per pier, including labor, because of its material and labor-intensive installation process. Total foundation repair costs can easily reach over $20,000 using this method.

The foundation repair that will work best varies based on the extent of the damage, the underlying cause, soil conditions, weather conditions, and more. Permanent foundation solutions like underpinning and exterior drainage solutions are better than temporary fixes that don’t address the source of the issue. Some examples of more temporary solutions include mudjacking or slabjacking, waterproof paint, and dampproofing. The best course of action is to have a reliable foundation specialist inspect your issue, treat the underlying problem, and restabilize your foundation.

Interlocking garage tiles made with PVC are the most effective for garages with past issues of humidity and flooding because damp concrete is not suitable for paint. Epoxy coating is also water-resistant and can prevent mold buildup. Finally, porcelain tiles are a wonderful option for wet conditions if your budget allows.
