"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."

"I highly recommend this company!! We efficient, professional, and reliable. They called me prior to my appointment and the morning of to confirm. They knew exactly what they were doing. They had to cut into my shower tiles for the rainfall shower installation which was done to perfection. They also took out all of my things from under the kitchen sink prior to the water facet and soap dispenser installation and put everything back neatly, and even filled my newly installed soak dispenser. The pricing was great too!! They charged me exactly what was told to me prior to the job."

"Sam and his team quickly identified my water issue, and fixed the problem within 2 days. Given the quality and speed of the work to repair a rather significant water issue, i contracted them for additional preventative maintenance on our 45 year old foundation, and 22 year old roof and gutters. Will most certainly engage them in the furture for any other related work."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Ideal humidity conditions generally range from 30% to 50%, with 45% considered optimal humidity for most homes. If your humidity levels drop below that range, you can turn your dehumidifier off. Additionally, suppose the temperature where the dehumidifier is installed falls below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In that case, it's best to turn it off and unplug it since cooler temperatures can cause the unit's coils to freeze.

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

Statistics show that 98% of basements will experience some form of water damage over time. However, that doesn’t mean all basements will experience severe flooding. The best way to prevent a water-damaged basement is to keep up with home maintenance and have proper drainage installed outside your home to direct water away from the foundation. You can also consider building a flood wall around the house if you live in a flood-prone area.

In some circumstances, foundation refacing or repair may be a better option for your home than sealing a foundation. It’s always a good idea to take steps to prevent moisture problems in your foundation, but if there are any structural concerns, those will usually need to be fixed first. When dealing with foundation issues, it’s a good idea to get a professional opinion so you can avoid bigger problems down the road. 

If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:

  • Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.

  • Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.

  • Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.

  • Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.

To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.
