"PermaDry did an absolutely amazing job waterproofing my basement. Mike, the owner, was fair with pricing and the job was better than promised. They braced the wall with foundation straps to correct that issue, installed a new sump crock, did an internal drain tile system, and routed water underground to the front ditch and everything was perfectly done. They did the job faster than promised and he was willing to work with us and got the job done very quickly. They cleaned up everything after themselves as well. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a great, hardworking, affordable, and professional team. Thanks PermaDry!!"

"I contacted The Crack Team for foundation wall crack waterproofing after finding water near our utility lines and basement corner. They arrived on time, answered all my questions, and did clean work. What impressed me most was how respectful and honest the crew was throughout the whole process. The leaking stopped completely and the area looks great now."

"I am totally delighted with my basement waterproofing job. HomeSpec did an unbelievable job in diagnosing my problem, which was huge! I have never worked with a more competent contractor in my life! The workmen, led by John Davis and his terrific crew...Kevin, Dave, Tyler and so many others were the absolute best! Polite, efficient, extremely hard working (like I ve never witnessed in my life!) and just generally the BEST! I pray they make a lot of money!!!!! The cleanup was outstanding! Frankly, if anyone is looking for a basement waterproofer, I wouldn t call anyone else!!! They are THE BEST! Thank you HomeSpec! Kathy"

"They are professional and thorough, but there is really no wiggle room if you would like something differently done. Choices in booklet are pretty basic, not a lot of options (for flooring types, door style, trim) This company is like the Anderson Windows of basements. (No doubt they spend a lot on advertising; There is a reason they are the top result when searching!) Expect to pay quite a bit more than you planned, but I knew if I chose them it would be done and warrantied for everything. Sometimes you just want to sign and not worry, and I would definitely pick Finished basements plus if you are in that situation and have the budget."

"I had a great experience with BWM. They handled my concerns professionally and the price was very competitive but I feel like i got a better product than I could have purchased retail - the new sump is very robust and I have faith my basement will stay dry now."

"Andre’ replaced the worn out fixture in my main toilet that was causing the water to run non stop. He removed the 35+ year old basement toilet and replaced with a new one and balanced it. He did an excellent job. Both toilets run well. He also cleaned up after he was done."

"West Water were ready to begin the contract with only one business day of notice. Very convenient. The contractor arrived on time. They estimated the work would take two days. One to dig and replace line in my back yard and one to dig and replace the connecting line in the alley. On day two they discovered the line was buried deeper than the machine on hand could dig. This resulted in an extra day of work at no additional cost to me, while contractor called in a machine capable of finishing the work. Work was completed without any further complications. Contractor ensured that none of the sewer line was exposed. Dirt was returned on top of where it was excavated. They accepted a personal check for the estimated cost . This contract went very well for me. I will contact West Water again if I require further related work."

"Great Experience!! First of all, I had the service technician come out for a yearly service check on the sump pump system. Daniel Smykla did so much more. He inspected my basement. Also, he tested the waterproofing system and tightened the anchors. He was happy to give me advice on other issues that worried me. He only charged me the initial service charge on the sump pump! Daniel is warm, friendly, respectful, professional and very knowledgeable!! I will ask for Daniel for all future service!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

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.

Thankfully, you do have a few sump pump backup options in case it fails. One option is a battery-powered backup sump pump. Another option is using a portable backup generator as a power supply for your sump pump. Unlike a battery-powered backup which has limited power, a generator can run around the clock for as long as you need it. 

Or you can opt for a water-powered backup pump, which uses your home’s water supply as a source of power. However, this may not be the best option if you find your house frequently has low water pressure.

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.

Rigid foam board insulation is one of the safest insulation materials for basement walls. The panels offer a moisture barrier to prevent mold and mildew build-up. At the same time, this material is also fire-resistant, so you don’t have to worry as much about a fire breaking out as you would with spray foam insulation. 

The best type of basement ventilation system depends on your budget, the moisture in your basement’s air, and the types of windows you have down there. You should consider all of these factors when choosing a ventilation system. However, the most effective method for basement ventilation is an energy recovery ventilator (ERV) or a whole-house ventilation system, which preheats or precools incoming air from the outside while also managing water vapor.
