"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."

"National Pro Waterproofing did an amazing job in our basement. Mike got us scheduled quickly, was professional and addressed any concerns I had. He showed up on time with his very experienced crew and they got the job done in one day. They worked quickly, neatly and even put up a plastic barrier to keep the dust from spreading out of the work area. They left the work area immaculate. I highly recommend National Pro Waterproofing!"

"Luis AGuirre my foreman was very knowledgeable about his craft. As soon as he arrived he handed me his card and got right to work. Him and his colleagues worked straight through with no break or lunch even though I offered to treat them. They politely said they preferred to keep working to finish the job. Quality first basement is definitely the company I am recommended to anyone who has drainage issues and in need of waterproofing. Frantz Louis Charles of west Orange N.J."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

In most cases, it is safe to live in a home with minor foundation problems, but you should not let the issues persist. Virtually all foundations have small cracks from normal settlement, which are not a structural concern but should be sealed to prevent water intrusion. However, major damage—such as large structural cracks, sinking foundations, or bulging walls—can make a home unsafe. Other issues that can pose safety and health risks include poor indoor air quality from mold or pests, uneven floors, and rotten beams or joists. It is always best to have a foundation repair expert or structural engineer inspect any issues to determine if your home is safe to live in.

The primary downside to crawl space encapsulation is the high cost, which can be several thousand dollars. Additionally, the process can make future repairs more complicated by limiting access to plumbing and electrical wiring within the crawl space. Encapsulation also requires sealing off any vents, which can be a disadvantage for home designs that benefit from the airflow they provide. It's recommended to consult with a crawl space contractor to determine if the benefits outweigh these potential drawbacks for your specific home.

Generally, moisture barrier padding costs $0.75 to $1.50 per square foot, varying by brand and mix. That’s a lot more than standard padding, which runs $0.25 to $0.90 per square foot. The price difference between these two options might seem steep, but think of it as insurance against future carpet replacement costs and subfloor damage. If you have pets or kids, that extra investment in high-risk areas like your living room often pays off.

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.

Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.
