"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

When considering finishing your basement, take into account a few pros and cons:

Pros

  • Can increase the value of your home

  • Separate space from the rest of the house 

  • Customize and personalize the basement to suit your needs and style

  • Increase the amount of living space in your home

Cons

  • May not regain enough value to cover the cost of finishing

  • Lack of natural light if it’s below ground level

  • Moisture or flooding can cause costly damage

  • Installing plumbing and electrical can be messy and costly

Basements with persistent moisture problems or flooding shouldn’t be finished until the moisture issues have been fixed. In addition, if your foundation is cracked, you have unmitigated radon levels, or you have asbestos or lead pipes, remediate the underlying problem before finishing your basement. Turning a basement into living space before fixing these issues can lead to serious health risks or structural damage. 

The foundation repair that will work best varies based on the extent of the damage, the underlying cause, soil conditions, weather conditions, and more. Permanent foundation solutions like underpinning and exterior drainage solutions are better than temporary fixes that don’t address the source of the issue. Some examples of more temporary solutions include mudjacking or slabjacking, waterproof paint, and dampproofing. The best course of action is to have a reliable foundation specialist inspect your issue, treat the underlying problem, and restabilize your foundation.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. 

“Basement waterproofing” sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.
