"Very responsive to changes and adjusting on the fly as we found the different terrain and worked thru it each day. Dependable! We hired them to clear a few acres and they were able to do that and a little more. Fair prices."

"I have an old farm house. It is at Least 200 years old. It has a stone foundation. Every spring my cellar fills with water. I was given a quote in November on 2022. They installed the water proofing that December. They kept to quoted price with no surprises The crew kept to the schedule I was given. They were professional and left my cellar looking better than I have ever seen it With the soft winter and dry spring I was afraid that their work would not get a good test. However, last night We got four to five inches of rain. In the past this would at least left a foot of water in my cellar. Today it is bone dry. Basement Improvement is a local family run business that I would highly recommend to anyone."

"The work itself, the actual basement waterproofing appears to be working but our flood season hasn't come yet so, I'm reserving judgement. But, the way the work was done was a problem and the initial way that they got with the problem wasn't satisfactory. Eventually, months after work I did get some resolution but is wasn't a smooth transaction. We moved some of the finished portions of the basement to do their work and the way that that was handled was very sloppy and rushed, and very expensive to repair. And then, when the initial point of having somebody come and look at all my questions, it was not the owner, it was his foreman and it was not dealt within a professional manner. After 2 contacts, tried to explain what the problems were and has offered that they have an annual service to make sure that everything is working and there's a fee for that, though he offered 2 years of that with no cost, so that was a nice gesture. He tried to make up for the problems but like I said, there were problems."

"I bought a fixer upper a couple months back with a leaky basement and moldy smell. After receiving a quote from a competitor that left me feeling a little uneasy. I contacted Rob based on the stunning reviews found on HomeAdvisor. After reading reviews one after the other about how happy people were, I wanted his opinion and expertise regarding my situation. Rob responded immediately, and came by my house the following Saturday morning even though he was going away for the weekend with his wife to celebrate their 30th Wedding Anniversary. He didn't want me to have to wait a week before he would have a chance to swing by. He was not only prompt, but he took the time to explain the process as well as discuss some other things I have going on in my house. His knowledge is astounding in all areas of building and remodeling. Rob assured me that the "smell" in my basement would no longer be an issue, nor would the water. He arrived with his 3 boys to do the job and I must say watching all them work together and interact with each other the way they did spoke volumes to me. A family doesn't get that way by accident...that just tells you the type of character that Rob has, and the kind of person that his wife must be. Real genuine honest good people and I couldn't be more pleased with the job. His price was definitely fair and I no longer have any smell or water in my basement, whatsoever! I would highly recommend Rob and his crew for any job that you need done. He and his boys have the integrity that lack in so many larger companies today and I look forward to more projects in the Springtime."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

If there is standing liquid on your concrete, remove it before attempting any of the above cleaning methods. For small amounts of water, use rags, a bucket, and a mop. For larger areas of liquid, lay down cat litter or baking soda to soak up the water first. If you have extremely large pools of water sitting on your concrete, break out the wet vac and get to work.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.

Yes, you can add a bathroom to an unfinished basement, but you’ll want to take proper precautions if doing so. As with any bathroom addition, you’ll need to make sure that it’s approved by local building authorities first. With unfinished basements, you especially need to keep an eye on proper ventilation practices.

Encapsulation can take the place of crawl space vents since it protects the area from moisture and air all year round. Determining whether you should open or close crawl space vents can be complicated since it often depends on the weather and humidity. Skip this step by investing in crawl space encapsulation whenever possible.

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
