"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!"

"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."

"John and Steve responded to my inquiry quickly. The price was very reasonable compared to another company I received a quote from. Plus they were willing to give me more waterproofing protection than the other company. This business recognizes first responders and veterans. I was able to get the project started quickly because of that. I highly recommend them."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home. 

However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.

You don’t always need to install a dehumidifier in your encapsulated crawl space, but it might be a good idea in certain instances. If you notice obvious signs of condensation, mold, or musty smells permeating from your crawl space, a dehumidifier can help. It’s ideal for homes in humid areas.

In a worst case scenario, structural damage like rust on metal beams, rotting wood, and swelling on doors and windows can signal moisture problems that would benefit from a dehumidifier.

In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.

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. 

Yes, slab leaks are fairly common, especially in older homes and places that are prone to earthquakes which can move home foundations.
