"Just finished a visit with Foreman Doug and his crew, Devin, Sean, and Mason. Waterproofing the basement and super sound and solid work! Doug was professional and very good at keeping me in the loop with the project over the 3 day visit, and created a solid system that we are confident will keep water out of the basement forever. Above and beyond as well with problem solving when having to find solutions to fit our basement layout, all with a solid financing option/great price and 5 year warranty/ yearly inspection plan. If you are stuck with water in your basement, get Groundworks working for you ASAP!"

"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."

"When I first called, I was surprised at how quickly they returned my phone call to set up an estimate. He was able to come over the next evening to check out our basement. He was punctual and provided us information about what would need to be done. He stated that he would provide us with an estimate that evening. I waited, but the estimate never came. I called the following week to see the status of the estimate. They stated that they were busy, but I should have it by now and would email it ASAP. After a second week, I called again. They said they would get it to me again. After the third week, I called again and was told the same thing. I gave up at that point and contacted someone else, who will be fixing the basement tomorrow. It's been over a month now and never received an estimate for the work. I understand that it's a busy time of year, but was disappointed to never get the estimate and didn't feel like I should have to pester them for it.

"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.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. The chances of mold developing depend on several factors, including the severity of the damage and how quickly the area is cleaned and dried. To prevent mold, you must act quickly—ideally within the first 24 hours. Clean up all water and thoroughly dry the affected area. If the damage is extensive, you were unable to address it immediately, or you suspect mold has already started to grow, it is best to assume it is present and hire a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

Yes, you can enclose your crawl space. Enclosing your crawl space can promote energy efficiency and reduce the risks of pests and mold by limiting factors like humidity. It can also reduce heat loss, which is why doing so for the winter can make your home more comfortable.

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.
