"We contacted them for an estimate on our basement.  Initial phone call and connection went well, very professional, quick, and prompt.  Once the rep was at our home he went into a "pitch" vs. listening to what we said we already knew we wanted.  We even had a sketch.  Eventually we went to review the space, take measurements, etc.  We then started to pick out materials......he brought all the samples but then put together an evaluation based on square foot and overall price of our home and used that based on the square footage of our basement to determine a "fair" value........which was $100/sq ft.  That would have equated to over $100,000 basement.  Then he said how much "fairer" their price was at the quoted rate.  We were too far apart in our estimates which is fine with me, but at the end he said if I obtained a quote that was lower ~ to give him a call and they'd see what they can do.  At that point, I believe "no thanks".  Give me your best price up front.  The entire visit took almost 3 hours.  It was a big waste of time for all unfortunately as we had no intent to spend that much.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can finish a basement that leaks, as long as you address the leak first. Before finishing a basement, you’ll need to repair any cracks in the walls and waterproof the basement to prevent future leaks. It’s much harder to clean up a water leak from a finished basement than an unfinished one, so preemptively addressing any leaking areas prevents expensive repairs in the future.

As the first layer of water protection for your roof deck and the building materials below, underlayment is designed to prevent water damage, so it’s okay if it gets wet. However, you shouldn’t rely solely on underlayment for protection. If rain interrupts your roof project and you have all of the underlayment down, you’ll likely be fine, but you should install shingles over that layer as soon as possible, as long-term exposure can lead to water damage.

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn’t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it’s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won’t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try repairing your brick wall instead.

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.
