"We recently had our basement waterproofed by the American A-1 Waterproofing Company, and I couldn't be happier with the job they did. From start to finish, the team at American A-1 Waterproofing was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring that my basement would be completely waterproof. First, the team came out to assess my basement and provide me with a detailed estimate of the work that needed to be done. They took the time to explain the process to me, answer my questions, and address any concerns I had. I felt like they really listened to my needs and customized their approach to fit my specific situation. Once the work began, the team was punctual, respectful, and efficient. They took great care to protect our home and belongings, and they kept us updated throughout the process. They worked quickly but thoroughly, and we were impressed by their attention to detail. The waterproofing work itself was top-notch. The team used high-quality materials and techniques to ensure that every nook and cranny of my basement was completely sealed and protected from water damage. They also installed 3 sump pump and created a French drain to further safeguard our home. A-1 did a great job waterproofing our flooded and leaking basement. They kept coming back as bigger rainstorms showed smaller leaks and waterproofed the inside and outside until stayed dry. Overall, I highly recommend American A-1 Waterproofing for anyone in need of basement waterproofing services. They are professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to ensuring customer satisfaction. Thanks to their hard work, I now have a safe and dry basement that I can enjoy for years to come!"

"Absolute waterproofing just installed an interior french drain at my 1960 house. They did a system in my brotherâ  s basement, 2 years ago, in Bound Brook, and while all of his neighbors got flooded during Ida,, his basement was dry as a bone. That is all I needed to know. Lou and his team did a great job at my home. They protected my property, did a very neat job and started and finished the job when they said they would. Also, the cost was very reasonable, great customer service and super nice guys."

"The previous owner of our property used his French drain installation as a selling point, but shortly after we moved in we found water in the basement after a storm. It turned out that the "French drains" were a trench at the edges of the basement and a sump pump. The drains were not piped to the sump pump. We had Arid install real French drains with pipe to the sump pump well. Thus was in 2005 and we have not had any water in the basement since. Pat explained the job well and his team performed it quickly. They cleaned up well afterwards. The pump finally gave out last night (after almost 12 years). Arid is going to install new one on Friday."

"Very neat with their work in a messy job. Laid down protective flooring to prevent mud from being tracked through my house. Went from a basement with ankle deep water to a waterproof basement with no water in the basement even after tropical storm rains."

The entire process was incredibly smooth, Steve was very detailed in explaining step by step what was happening, he constantly and consistently checked-in to ensure all work passed his quality check. I was impressed by the install, from the scrub down and sanitizing they gave the basement, to the quality of their materials, the additional drain by the door they provided at no extra charge, and last but not least a draining area for the dehumidifier which saves me the twice daily trip down to the basement. I looked at a few waterproofing companies, and am glad I choose Blue Umbrella Waterproofing. They were reliable, efficient, had high-quality standard, and lastly upfront and honest. I would recommend them for any waterproofing needs."

Customers say: True professional

"Better than expected. With every home project one can run into unexpected surprises as did we with this one. Antonio was quick to explain the situation and present an alternate plan to overcome the obstacle. His team worked hard under less than favorable weather and delivered a quality job. Water is a home's biggest enemy, but I know that my basement will be dry for the next 130 years. I would warmly recommend Antonio Debenedetto for any hardscaping job."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as “crawl space foundations,” but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. 

While "dry" mode on your AC can help reduce humidity levels to some extent, it may not be as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier, especially in areas with extremely high humidity or larger spaces. Dehumidifiers are specifically designed to remove moisture from the air more efficiently, making them a better choice for tackling persistent humidity issues.

The purpose of crawl space encapsulation is to prevent mold by blocking moisture and reducing humidity. If the vapor barrier is properly installed, it significantly reduces the chance of mold developing within the crawl space. However, mold can sometimes grow behind the encapsulation material, but it will be sealed away from the main area. Additionally, moisture can still condense inside the encapsulated space, so if you notice excess humidity, installing a dehumidifier is recommended to prevent mold and mildew growth.

No, your basement dehumidifier doesn’t need to be on 24/7. While it’s an excellent tool for tackling damp, musty air, especially in humid seasons, leaving it running nonstop can backfire. Over-drying the space can mess with your sinuses, warp wood, and even crack certain materials. Instead, only use your humidifier when moisture levels rise above 50%, and then give it a break when the humidity levels drop.
