"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 spoke with Chuck several times over the phone to understand why I shouldn't use a no-salt water softener in Minnetonka, MN and what he recommended. He explained everything very well and provided me with recommendations that fit my needs and my wallet. I was able to research the recommended options before he came out, and then have him install the unit in the first visit - a definite time saver. He installed the unit in the time he said he would take and answered all of my questions.
I was very pleased with Northern, and will definitely use them for all of my plumbing needs in the future.

"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."

"We had extensive waterproofing done to our basement. Tom and the crew were very professional and knowledgeable. They ran into unforseen issues and uncovered a leaking water main pipe. The response time was excellent and the extra work was scheduled quickly. Highly recommend!"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Overwatering can cause issues like water pooling and drainage problems. To prevent overwatering, monitor your soil levels on a regular basis and change your watering schedule as necessary.

Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.

Crawl spaces are prone to issues caused by excess humidity and improper ventilation, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid buying a house with a crawl space. A home that is encapsulated and well-maintained shouldn’t have any more issues than a slab or basement home.

Ideal humidity conditions generally range from 30% to 50%, with 45% considered optimal humidity for most homes. If your humidity levels drop below that range, you can turn your dehumidifier off. Additionally, suppose the temperature where the dehumidifier is installed falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In that case, it's best to turn it off and unplug it since cooler temperatures can cause the unit's coils to freeze.

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts
