"I received four estimates for my waterproofing project. Ultimately, I chose American A-1 Waterproofing due to the personalized and positive experience I had with Lou Manzo (Manager), Maurice (Foreman) and Crew Members. From the start, Lou was generally concerned with meeting my waterproofing needs. He actively listened to my concerns and provided satisfying solutions to achieve a dry basement without leading me down an unnecessary and confusing purchasing path. Lou explained the work to be done in great details. He was responsive to my calls, emails and texts and patiently answered ALL of my questions. Maurice and his crew members did an amazing job. They worked diligently during a heat wave and always demonstrated positive energy. They depicted such pride in their work -- making sure everything worked effectively and efficiently. I have to say, Lou really went above and beyond the call of duty. He ensured Maurice and Crew Members replaced a clogged downspout drainpipe and installed a cleanout valve. He ensured Maurice and Crew Members connected an exterior drainpipe from the catch basin to eliminate standing water in my front yard. This concept was Brilliant! And completed at the at a fraction of the cost! In addition, Lou consumed the cost to unclog a sewer line that compromised my newly installed Waterproofing System. But wait there is more! I have been unable to attend to other pertinent matters on/around my property, as I am recovering from surgery. Lou sympathized with my plight and ensured his crew demolished a crumbling flower bed wall and deteriorated shed in my backyard at a faction of the cost. Moreover, Lou returned with a crew member the day after the job was completed to reconnect my utility sink, washer and dryer and move them back into place free of charge. I am very pleased with the exceptional service provided by Lou, Maurice, and all Crew Members at American A-1 Waterproofing. From start to finish, they were professional, courteous, and GENUINE. The team exceeded my expectations! Moreover, pricing for my waterproofing project was extremely fair."

"I called Arid when my sump pump that the previous owner left died during a rain storm. I spoke with Pat, who was extremely responsive, honest, and professional. Pat was very understanding as I explained that water had come up into the basement through the sump well. He sold me on a primary and backup pump system with battery backup and sent his crew out to my home that day. The installation took about 40 min and 20 min after the pump was installed, the water levels dropped back to normal. I have already hired Arid again to come back and perform a liner install around the pump and will look to Pat and his team in the future for all my basement waterproofing needs."

"Let me start by saying that I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Weather – Tite Waterproofing to anyone who has water in their basement. They were incredibly professional and did top notch work. I had been getting water in my basement on and off for years. After fixing the gutters and fixing the roof it was time to address the basement. I consulted with three different Angie’s List companies (all very highly rated). Each company had a slightly different price but more importantly a different approach to resolving the problem. I picked Weather – Tite because I was comfortable with the approach that they proposed, and the price was in line with the other quotes. The work took 2 days. Day 1 was spent digging the trenches around the interior of the basement. Day 2 was spent putting in the stones and piping and hooking it all up to the sump pump. As you can imagine, putting in a drainage system is messy work – you would have been none the wiser – my whole house was spotless (including the basement) – no dust anywhere. The work was so professional that I had them come back and put up the baseboard and sheet rock. I can happily say that since the work has been completed, we have had quite a few heavy rains, and my basement has stayed dry."

"Work was done to code (which was not by previous company prior to my purchase of home). In addition to chimney repairs they did some work to boiler and hot water connects in basement that were not done to code. I am very satisfied with the work done. I highly recommend them and would hire them again."

"I am truly glad I found Ralph Maresca on Angie's List. First, let me start by saying today is Friday, April 19th and the start of a holiday weekend. My daughter called in late afternoon and explained that my basement was flooding and it was an emergency. The call was immediately answered and Ralph said he would be at my home in a very short time...he arrived promptly as promised. He was very professional and reassuring and assessed the problem quickly ,,,,a broken pipe...problem being it was within the block in the wall. He explained the problem and that he would be able to repair it, stop the leak and able to turn the water back on to my home. Ralph proceeded to fix the problem, stop the leak and restore the water to my home. I definitely would hire again and would recommend to others."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier—called crawl space encapsulation—on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.

Underfloor insulation alone will not cause moisture and mold, but improper installation can. Although the purpose is to seal any drafts, your subfloor still needs ventilation. If you seal the area too tightly and prevent all airflow, this can cause moisture to get trapped. This moisture eventually leads to mold and—if your floors are wood—rotting.

A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.

Many prevention methods can be used individually or in combination to waterproof your basement. Some of the most common waterproofing methods include:

  • Using dehumidifiers 

  • Silicate concrete sealers

  • Vapor barriers 

  • Baseboard channels 

  • Drain tile systems

  • Waterproofing paint

  • Drainage systems

  • Epoxy injection

  • Interior French drains

  • Exterior excavation and waterproofing

  • Cement waterproofing

  • Weep tiles

  • Liquid membrane

  • Sheet membrane 

  • Yard grading

  • Gutters and downspouts

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.
