DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!!! Marc Pressman came to my house and brought his looseleaf with him. He had all kinds of docs saying that he was the best. I took him down to my newley finished basement and showed him exactly where the water was coming from. He said "no problem, we are experts and can fix this guaranteed". He took my deposit and sent his team down. Michael was the man working on the job. Super nice guy, very clean and looking to do minimal damage to the floor ( he would be better off starting his own company). They installed the drain and the pump and told me my water problems were over. A couple of months later we had a couple of days of solid rain and the basement was flooded again!! I thought maybe the pump didn't work so I took the cover over the tank and it was bone dry!. The water never even went into the tank. Immediately I called the company and got a message " Due to severe weather conditions no one is available to take your call...leave a message." Three days later my message was returned . They sent someone to the house and he said ,well everything is dry now so I cant really tell where the water came in from. Lets wait till it happens again and then I"ll come back. Sure enough last week it rained like crazy and my basement was flooded again. Immediately I called Marc Pressman and he said I cant help you, you need to call the office. I told him I guess you only take the peoples money otherwise you cant help. So I called the office right away sent them pictures, and told them to send someone down asap so they can trace the water. Its been 5 days now and they never called back and of course the water subsided by now. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE!!! THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND WON"T SERVICE YOU WHEN THINGS DON"T WORK!!!.... I WILL CONTINUE TO POST NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND REPORT THEM TO BBB AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS UNTIL THEY MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

It SEEMED to have gone well 2 years ago, but, I was told in order to get rid of the smell I would have to throw out anything that was porous. Of course I couldn't do that, it was many things. So, I learned to live with the smell (after two weeks the smell was back). Lo and behold (two years later) I moved aside some boxes and saw mold and a wet cinderblock wall). I called the company because I spent $6k for remediation. Someone came to my house and said "well, what do you want from us, you did not get rid of your water problem". I was livid because I never had a water problem until they painted my walls and covered up the holes that were drilled into the cinderblock to allow for drainage. I threw that man out. I had his boss trying to call me and the boss even sent me a text asking me "don't you want to speak with the owner?" No, I do not want to speak after being "monetarily raped" two years ago for a paint job, dropped ceiling removal and some perfume sprayed around.

Affordable waterproofing did work on our house for the previous owner.  They finished the job leaving holes in the outside wall at ground level - leaving water to enter into the basement walls.  They told us this was done by request of the previous owner.  

We called them to come back to fix this and add window wells.  They seemed very cordial and responsive.  The day the job was scheduled they never showed.  I called them and they apologized and blamed it on miscommunication.  The job was rescheduled and they still did not show up. 

After this add was posted they showed up at our house unannounced.  They completed the job.  Fixing the holes at no additional cost, thereby, sticking to their warranty.

I was actually waiting to write a review after the first rain storm!

Well it rained and FINALLY my basement is dry!!!

I met with numerous companies to express my concerns with our damp and moldy basement.

Affordable was very knowledgeable helpful and informative!

After meeting with different companies I felt the most confident with affordable waterproofing.

We have been anticipating redoing our basement but the dampness has always been an issue.

The work was completed in a timely manner. The crew was very clean and professional.

We are finally ready to move forward in completing a renovation to our basement... Now that it is dry!

Thank you Affordable:)

Appointment was schedule for an estimate, salesmen showed up on time and seemed very knowledgeable about work that needed to be performed. The estimate was very competitive and I was able to get the work done in the same week. The crew showed up as schedule and seemed to be working without breaking. They were respectful and cleaned up after themselves. Overall, it was a good experience.

They removed the rest of the water that was in the basement, then removed all the cement around the perimeter, removed an old sump pump, added a french drain and  relocated 2 sump pumps so no more water would filtrate into the basement.
He had a large crew that broke up the concrete with a jack hammer and took the old concrete up the stairs in buckets. The crew was professional and courteous, Once completed, the basement, foyer and driveway were clean.
They offered to waterproof paint the basement, which I had planned to do myself, but after I did it,  wished I would have used them.  I would recommend Affordable Waterproofing to any home owner, the work they did was well worth the money.

This company was very responsive.  Worked very hard digging trench around basement perimeter.  Removed all woodwork/cabinetry necessary themselves.  Broke a window in basement and replaced it without any questions.  Few weeks later, even came back to make a minor adjustment.

Excellent job. The rep. was extremely knowledgable about his profession and he conducted himself in a professional manner. Great follow up and very reliable. I have recommended them to a few of my friends that were hit hard by Sandy.  They was very empathetic and patient with me.

They came out right away, gave me an estimate, and started the work all within 3 days.  Considering this was right after hurricane Sandy, I felt they wer taking very good care of me.  It was worth every cent!  No more ruined dedcoration, clothes or photos.  My basement is now a safe place to store my stuff until I need it again.  I will be moving my things out of a storage facility and save every month!

An appointment was set up with Marc to come and give us an estimate on doing our basement.  Affordable was our second of three estimates so we kind of knew the process and questions to ask.  A co-worker had them do work at his home and was very satisfied.  Marc was on time and looked at our basement then sat and talked about his findings and what would be done.  At first, I was not to keen on him as he told me there was mold on a piece of furniture.  I did not think it was and told him so as I knew exactly what it was.  In his defense, the basement does not have very good lighting.  Being a woman, I really don't like having someone tell ME but after sitting with Marc I found him to be very knowledgable in the business.  Out of the three estimates we got, we narrowed it down to two.  The third company used a different method that needed to be cleaned out every two years.  The second company used the same method as Affordable and was priced comparable; their contract had too much wording on it and they charged for the repairs if they found something wrong with your footing.  Having a home which is 85 years old, we did not want this extra expense.  Like most people we did not have the money just laying around and applied for a loan to cover it but had to wait for the banks approval.  Marc was more then accomodating.  Very willing to work with us.  Even offered their financing but we had already gone through our bank.
The crew of ten plus arrived on time.  My husband took the day off just in case anything came up.  He kept sending me pictures of the work in progress.  He said everything was draped in plastic.  Entry ways also.  He said the crew worked and kept on working.  The job was suppose to take three days and by noon when he called me the trench was done, pipe was placed and he then stated that he thought they would be done today.  When I came home from work at 3:15, I was shocked to see that you could not tell anyone had been doing work at our home.  Everything was cleaned up.  Not a trace of dust.  I was so nervous to get this done and now I can't wait for rain to see how this system works.  What made this job go so fast was the fact that we had thrown out a lot of crap from our basement and the crew had ample room to work.  I suggest anyone having this done to do the same.  They will move somethings for you but it is worth doing some tossing before hand.  Thank you to the crew of Affordable for being so professional and for getting it done in one day.  Now I don't have to waste one of my PTL days.  I can use it to be with my grandson!

In early June we called Affordable Home Designs for an estimate on new windows and siding. We gave all our info to the receptionist.  We where contacted by a sales representative and our appointment was set.  The representative arrived on time with many products to choose from. Samples and pictures of worked previously perfomed by their company were shown to us. We were very impressed by his knowledge of all the products and services his company provides. We decided the price was in our range however it was not the lowest price we recieved.  We felt more comfortable with the Affordable company and its represenative.  We decided to have them perform the work for us. After signing the contract the next day, a represenitive returned to our house and took all the required measurements . Two days later we were called with an installation date.  The crew came out and performed the work in a professional manner.  All time lines were met and all products were as promised.  We highly recommend Affordable Home Designs and will use them again in the future for our home improvement needs.

The price was little high. In general happy with the work they have done. They did pretty decent job. They did get it done quickly. It could have been little bit more like the edging with a cut and that could have been little more smoother. I would not use them again only because of the little bit high price.
Response from Affordable Waterproofing LLC
"Our prices are based on the 25 year guarantee that we give to our customers. We are one of the few companies that have never been in business under another name. Our guarantee is the best in the business and we do not charge for service calls. There are many companies out there that will do the work cheaper than we would, but these guys are usually working out of there houses, and in and out of business under multiple names every couple of years. If you put our prices up against the few companies that have been around for a long time without changing their name (which voids all existing customer guarantees) our prices are on the lower side. As far as the concrete being smooth, the only way to get it any smoother is to saw cut the floor, which can not be done because of carbon monoxide from a saw that would be powerful enough to cut through the floor. Saw cutting the floor stops us from being able to feather the concrete back in place to create a tighter seal. The only other possibility would be to remove the entire floor, which we feel is an unnecessary cost that we do not want to pass onto our customers."
