Seller Home Inspection. Jim Rizzolo from this old house home inspection arrived promptly at 9:00am as agreed. He carried a bag of tools that he used throughout the inspection. He spent 2 1/2 hours and inspect our home. Our house is build in 1890, three stories plus a basement and three baths, a front porch and back deck. He started his inspection on the outside of the house looking at the conditions of roof shingles, chimney and siding as well as foundation noting things although small that a buyer might want taken care of before buying. We went inside, he checked all the receptacles to be sure they were grounded, found something electrical we had been living with, that was missed on purchase home inspection, that need to be fixed. He pointed out shoddy workmanship on a ceiling in one of the baths. He checked the electrical box in the basement, the boiler, hot water heater and outside walls for dampness or leaks with his dampness meter. He checked all appliances to be sure they were in working order. He turned on every faucet to be sure all plumbing was in order.
Jim was very professional, knowledgeable and a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend Jim. Doing the pre-sell inspection showed us some things a buyer inspection would have picked up, leaving room for haggling over price because of repairs. His fee was reasonable, especially for all the information we received.

Corey came out that same day to look at the problem - a gas leak in the basement. He looked at it very quickly and quoted what I thought was too much and then bumped it down to $600. I thought he didn't listen and was a bit too hasty in his assessment but we needed it fixed quickly so agreed for him to come back the next day to fix it. He came back Monday morning and set to work. Next thing I get a call at work that there is water running from the second and first floor down into the basement. His working on the gas pipes had pulled a water pipe loose and now we had a water problem as well. So now a gas leak has also turned into a broken water pipe. He said he would fix the water problem for free. From what we could see, it appeared that this problem was not his fault but was the result of bad work that had been done upstairs previously. But next thing the water problem has turned into another water problem and the line of pipe alongside the gas also needs fixing. A $600 job becomes a $1000 job. Again we thought it was not the plumber's fault and tried to be patient. Some of the pipes in the basement were very old and not in good condition. We could clearly see that the section of water pipe was extra work, not accounted for originally, and so the extra $400 was reasonable. He fixed this and we thought it was all over. We attributed the problems to old pipes. On Wednesday morning I went to the basement and saw a very slow leak on the new joint where he had replaced the water pipe. I also saw a leak in another pipe near where he fixed, again quite a slow leak. We called and they said they would come out and fix the leaks. They never came and never called to explain why. A few days later I went down to the basement again and yet another leak had sprung from the water pipes. So now we have gone from no water problems to 3 leaks, all in new piping. Fed up, we called another plumber, recommended by friend. He fixed all 3 leaks quickly and effectively, for $100. I can understand the water problems happening in the old pipes when the gas was touched, and was willing to attribute it all to the age of the pipes (one of the water pipes was in very bad shape, and we didn't know about it until the gas leak happened - so that was not their fault), but I thought they should have at least come back to fix the leaks in their new work. On their contract this company says they give a one-year guarantee on their work, but they did not live up to that. This is my first experience of using Angie's List and has given me a very bad opinion of it. If this is the sort of company that gets an A rating then I'd hate to see the others.

Terrible! First rain after a $9,000 job and my basement was a lake. They sent a guy the next day to say their "full basement" waterproofing didnt cover my specific problem. They did no work before hand to discover what my real problem was until we agreed to pay $9,000. Now, I have to pay for...

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Jersey City, NJ
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
