"Matt was up front about the cost and understood our policy to obtain estimates from 3 companies before proceeding with work in our home. He itemized the estimate and explained the procedure and warranty. He was pleasant to work with! He did not require an hour of my time or insist that both my husband and I be present in order to give us a sales pitch. The price was competitive and not inflated to cover marketing expenses. I like that the company is family owned & local, and that the workers are employees, not sub-contractors. The men who did the work were efficient and we have had no water in our basement since the waterproofing was done. I believe the contractors who followed Acculevel's work were a little surprised at the materials used, and they had to adjust their plans somewhat, but all is good in the end. Thank you!"

"I was going to have some work done to my basement and needed the water heater moved. It was time replace the heater so I asked Northern if they could remove the heater and install the new one the next day. They were fine with that. The workers were very professional and friendly. The installer took the time to explain all the controls and maintenance. Very pleased with results"

"The technician arrived on time. The cost job was about five times what I was expecting. $628 for a dryer reinstall, plus $322 for the venting. No parts were required for the gas portion of the project as the dryer was moved so that the basement could be waterproofed. The venting was required as the dryer was previously connected with a flexible vent and the building inspector stated it should be solid. Other than the price, everything was great."

"The job needs to be fixed already it wasnâ t done to completion on day one. I needed the concrete patio to shed water away from the house. It currently is shedding water towards the house. Why I hired them is to correct that problem. My hope is this small issue will be able to be resolved today."

"Highly recommend. As much as it sucks to have to do projects like waterproofing a basement, when it happens you want reliability and efficiency. That's what we got with Maltese. We were in a time crunch and they fit us in their schedule. Got the job done in 3 days and it was smooth sailing. Used our egress for entry to not travel through the house. We were able to work from home without a hiccup. Absolutely no complaints."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Crawl spaces are the more desirable option overall because they provide additional space for storage and utilities, but they are more expensive to install and maintain. Slab foundations are considered a better option in warmer climates where the depth of the frost line isn’t an issue because they’re more affordable, but crawl spaces are better in areas where the frost line is deep or where flooding can be an issue.

A vapor barrier can last over 20 years, but they are vulnerable to pests, flooding, and other natural disasters. If your home weathers a storm or is treated for any pest infestation, make sure to have a drywall pro come check the integrity of your vapor barrier. It’s also important to have a pro install a vapor barrier since improper installation can lead to tears or leaks in the barrier that shorten its lifespan.

Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.

Foundation repair uses methods such as underpinning, slab jacking, or application of hydraulic piers. Each technique is chosen based on structural needs, soil conditions, and damage extent, ensuring a stable and secure foundation.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.
