"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!"

"We had an outstanding experience with Weather-Tite Waterproofing and couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, the entire process was incredibly easy and straightforward. Bob, the owner, was fantastic. He provided thorough explanations, kept us informed every step of the way, and maintained great communication throughout the project. The team was professional, efficient, and respectful of our home. They completed the job on time and on budget, and their pricing was very fair for the quality of work delivered. We especially appreciated how smoothly everything went—it made what could have been a stressful situation feel totally manageable. We waited to write this review until after a few heavy rainstorms, and we’re thrilled to say our basement has stayed completely dry. No more worrying about water issues! We highly recommend Weather-Tite Waterproofing to anyone in need of waterproofing services. Top-notch company."

"Right before Christmas, I had called AJT for a chimney sweep and to talk through some potential concerns i had. I had other companies coming over prior to this visit to check out my chimneys and it quickly became clear that they were trying to charge me for work that wasn't needed and were clearly overpricing the work. I had the pleasure of speaking with Mike, their foreman, about my concerns i had and he was excellent. Went above and beyond to check out my chimney, take pictures, and talk me through my original concerns around waterproofing and the cracks in my chimney crown. He talked about industry trends in the chimney business and was very knowledgeable about this line of work. I've dealt with my fair share of contractors and foreman and people like Mike are hard to come by. An honest, straight shooter who will tells you like it is."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

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.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

The least expensive basement waterproofing methods include grading soil away from your home, installing downspout extenders on your gutter system, and applying a waterproof paint on the interior of the foundation walls. Installing a French drain is a relatively inexpensive method if you do the work yourself, although it’s labor-intensive and can be challenging to install properly.

A sewage smell in your crawl space is usually from a damaged or clogged pipe leaking sewer gasses or actual sewage underneath your home, but there are some other common causes. Moisture, from poor or damaged encapsulation or a malfunctioning sump pump, can harbor mold and bacteria, causing a musty smell. Pests can also get stuck in your crawl space and die, which causes a sewage-like odor.

The primary reason homes have crawl spaces is so the foundation can reach down below the frost line to avoid dangerous soil movement and structural damage when the ground freezes. They’re more popular in colder climates where the ground freezes down to a few feet, and slabs are most popular in warmer areas where there is no frost line. Crawl spaces also provide a space for utility lines to run where they’re at less of a risk of freezing.
