"Had blue umbrella do a French drain and three new sump pumps in basement. Excellent work with high quality materials. Worked with Tony who was extremely professional and nice. The owner Steve also came by the site to check on progress and whether I had any questions. He also followed up after which was great. Wilson the foreman was really helpful during the process. Also, had quotes from several other vendors and Blue Umbrella was the most competitive. High quality work with professional team. Highly recommend."

"I am not yet able to determine whether or not the expected results of the basement waterproofing work is satisfactory as I have not had a rainstorm or heavy rain since the basement waterproofing work was performed. I will, however, pay great accolades to Quality 1st customer service, especially to Kyle. I was troubled with the proposal for the job as certain aspects of the language would have left me at an unfair liability should something had gone wrong with the work. I explained this issue with Kyle who followed through until the proposal was acceptable to me. The work crew was exceptional in that they were punctual, worked quickly, neatly and were, without question, among the hardest workers ever to have done a construction project for me. The crew was headed by Wilver along with his guys - Manuel and Jose. Again, I will refrain from commenting on the expected results of the work performed until the appropriate circumstances occur. In summary, I would say that Quality 1st demonstrated A1 customer service and the crew that performed my basement work were hard workers with great attitude."

"My crew were highly skilled and hard working. They were also very polite and cooperative when I asked them to cover what my tenant needed to leave in the basement during the waterproofing operation. All the work was completed in the 2 days they promised. They cleaned up all the debris when the job was finished."

"Paul did a great job, as usual. I had an outdoor water faucet that's been steadily losing water pressure, to the point that it was mostly unusable. The problem was a clogged galvanized section of pipe, which he replaced with proper copper piping. He also found a small leak that I didn't even know about in the basement pipes. He replaced a crazy looking shower arm/head with something that now looks like it was installed by a professional. He checked the bathroom and kitchen sinks for any leaks and replaced a jiggling handle on a toilet that was causing it to run after flushing. If you're looking for a great plumber, look no further. Paul is honest, has very reasonable prices, he's very responsive, and he's truly a pleasure to deal with."

"John W. came to the house promptly after my phone call and gave me a very quick and affordable estimate to solve my water problem in my basement. Blue planet installed french drains, (2) sump pumps, plumbing work and electrical work in a timely and organized manner. John and his team did an incredible job, I would highly recommend Blue Planet to anyone of my friends or family. Thanks John"

"These guys were unbelievable (in a good way)! The property with the leak was a lower floor condominum, but they immediately determined the leak was coming from the unit above. They knocked on the above neighbor's door, asked for permission to investigate, and pointed out not 1, but 2 leaks that were causing damage to the unit below. I would never have expected that (and it was so helpful since I had no idea how to approach the situation)! I was charged for an evaluation only, for which I was glad to pay since they really went above and beyond in dealing with the neighbor as well. I do plan to use them again, and again in the future. I now can say that I have "a guy" for my plumbing needs.

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.

While it’s possible to seal a foundation yourself, it’s not recommended, as it’s a tricky and labor-intensive job. Foundation sealing is best left to the pros to save yourself time, remove the risk of doing it wrong, and keeping yourself safe. Call a foundation repair professional near you to see what the job will cost.

The most expensive foundation repair method is to install helical piers. Helical piers are a type of steel pier used to support sinking foundations in areas with poor soil conditions or deep bedrock. This foundation repair method can cost up to $3,000 per pier, including labor, because of its material and labor-intensive installation process. Total foundation repair costs can easily reach over $20,000 using this method.

Physically, the most challenging part of finishing a basement is installing egress windows or doors when the space is below ground level. Mentally, the hardest part may be envisioning the project and planning around load-bearing and mechanical obstacles.

Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.
