"Quacker's Waterproofing was wonderful. When they came for the estimate, they were fast and no nonsense. They weren't trying to convince me of things that needed doing or dramatizing the work for more money. When I had questions about the work, they didn't make me feel dumb but took extra time out of their day so that I had peace of mind with my foundation. I hope to never need their help again, but I will definitely call them if I do. Special kudos to Rob!"

"Our experience with Atlas Foundation Solutions, LLC was excellent. Their staff was very professional, prompt and courteous. Their technician, Jacob was very knowledgeable and thorough. He found another crack under the deck that was covered in the basement with insulation and shelving, saving us another problem down the road. Great job, thank you!"

"Really great experience with Perma Jack all the way through for an external sump pump installation. Rich came out originally to assess and plan and was much more thorough than other bids. Price was reasonable too compared to others. After scheduling, Marcus and Sam came out on time and got started working and finished well ahead of what I was expecting. They were quick and thorough and left the place looking better than it looked before. Sump pump is well positioned and inconspicuous and I am very pleased with how it looks and performs. 10/10 experience"

"Gary Kimberlin's team did a great job for us with a series of small projects which were too big for a handyman, but apparently too small for most contractors. Most of the general contractors we contacted through Angie's List never never got back to us, but Gary treated us as valued customers from the start. Gary himself contacted us to provide a bid, and his responsiveness was exceptional. He spent about an hour with us taking measurements and discussing what we wanted to accomplish. Maybe we could have found a cheaper bid out there somewhere, but we were pleased with the punctuality and quality of the work, so I don't regret a cent that we spent. We had a series of small tasks which Gary's team performed over a couple of days. They arrived and departed when they said they would. First, they installed roll insulation in the crawl space under our living room. Rather than stapling the insulation in place, they recommended a slightly more expensive hanging system which allows the insulation to be removed and then put back without damaging it. Since additional remodeling is always a possibility, we appreciated the foresight on this issue. Second, we had planned to install a skylight in the living room, but Gary suggested can lighting instead, and I'm glad he did. Any time you punch a hole in the roof, it could leak, no matter how well you seal the edges. Can lighting was less expensive and created no possibility of leaks. We weren't happy with the first set of can lights Gary's team installed. Without complaint, Gary's team uninstalled them and replaced them with lights that we could swivel to highlight our artwork on the wall. We appreciated the team's flexibility and good attitude about the change. Third, the most complex portion of the job was repairing a wall and floor that had been damaged with pet urine. Gary's team removed the damaged baseboard, cut away the damaged carpet and pad, repainted the wall, and installed a new baseboard. This left a hole in the carpet which we covered with a throw rug, which was the solution of our choice. The repairs to the wall are seamless -- you'd never know the work had been done. Gary didn't press us to replace the whole carpet, which we weren't ready to do because our beloved older pet was still with us. The solution worked -- the smell is gone, and we didn't spend more than we wanted to. We'll complete that remodel another day. Last but not least, Gary's team did a thorough job cleaning and repairing the gutters. Small sections of guttering had come loose, which they refastened to the roofline. The one part of the remodel that didn't go as I had hoped pertained to a roofing issue. We had a gap in the soffit panels under the eaves. We had been concerned that a squirrel could climb through the hole and nest under the roof. Gary's team assessed the roofline and said that the hole in the soffit didn't communicate through to the attic, as far as they could tell, so the squirrels couldn't use it as a gateway. Unfortunately, that conclusion turned out to be incorrect. Six months later, we had to pay a wildlife control company to get squirrels out of our attic. The animal control team determined that the entry point was the hole in the soffit and installed a sheet metal cover for it. While the squirrel removal and roof repair were expensive, I don't fault Gary's team for mis-diagnosing the issue. Two other contractors/handymen had previously looked at the same problem and reached the same conclusion as Gary did, so obviously it was tricky. (We had had squirrels under the roof in a previous home, so I was concerned about this issue.) We look forward to work with Gary Kimberlin Construction again on a future remodel."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Ballwin, homeowners often balance the long-term benefits of exterior basement waterproofing against the disruption to established landscaping and the time required for excavation. Interior solutions, like sump pumps and drainage channels, are less invasive but may take up basement space. Deciding between DIY and professional installation affects both warranty coverage and compliance with local building codes, especially given Ballwin’s clay soil and frequent seasonal rains.

Helpful?

The timeline for basement waterproofing in Ballwin depends on factors like the extent of water intrusion, the chosen method, and weather conditions. Simple crack repairs or sealant applications may be finished in one visit, but installing French drains or exterior membranes often requires multiple sessions due to drying times and Ballwin’s heavy clay soil. Local inspection requirements can also extend the project over several days.

Helpful?

To keep basement waterproofing projects in Ballwin family-friendly, choose low-odor, water-based sealants and pet-safe materials to minimize indoor air pollution. Set up secure barriers around work zones to prevent children or pets from entering, and schedule work during times when the basement is least used. Store all tools and chemicals out of reach, and use dust barriers to help maintain a clean, safe environment throughout the project.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Ballwin typically decide on drainage system placement, sump pump backup options, and how to restore landscaping after waterproofing. You’ll also need to provide input on the type of waterproofing system—such as interior versus exterior solutions—and coordinate utility marking before any digging. Choices about finishing materials and warranty preferences also shape the final outcome and long-term satisfaction with your basement waterproofing project.

Helpful?

Certain features in Ballwin homes—such as stone or block foundations, shallow basement depths, or narrow side yards—can complicate basement waterproofing. Finished basements, utility lines along exterior walls, and properties near creeks or with high water tables may require more advanced solutions. Visible signs like stair-step cracks or persistent dampness are indicators that your home’s structure could make waterproofing more challenging and require specialized approaches.
