"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!"

"The previous owner of our property used his French drain installation as a selling point, but shortly after we moved in we found water in the basement after a storm. It turned out that the "French drains" were a trench at the edges of the basement and a sump pump. The drains were not piped to the sump pump. We had Arid install real French drains with pipe to the sump pump well. Thus was in 2005 and we have not had any water in the basement since. Pat explained the job well and his team performed it quickly. They cleaned up well afterwards. The pump finally gave out last night (after almost 12 years). Arid is going to install new one on Friday."

"Weather-Tite was recommended to me by a contractor who I trust to evaluate and repair water and moisture issues that I was having in my garage. Bob and his crew did a phenomenal job!! My husband and I are beyond thrilled with the results! They are professional, courteous, and fastidious. Half of my garage is underground, as there is a hill in my front yard leading up to the house. The repair involved excavating dirt along the front of my house next to the garage foundation wall down to the drain pipe, repairing cracks and holes, applying waterproofing and more. The interior wall was cleaned and drylock masonry paint was applied. My landscaping on the outside had to be removed and then put back. They did such a good job that you couldn't even tell it had been moved at all. We also had Bob and his crew complete a second job for us. This involved excavating another trench but in the back of the house along 16 feet of the foundation, replacing a drain pipe and waterproofing. They were at our house for three days. During that time and after we had torrential rain and everything stayed dry!!! I highly recommend Weather-Tite Waterproofing, Inc.!"

"Work was done to code (which was not by previous company prior to my purchase of home). In addition to chimney repairs they did some work to boiler and hot water connects in basement that were not done to code. I am very satisfied with the work done. I highly recommend them and would hire them again."

"live in Westerleigh, Staten Island, and I was having problems with water getting into my basement, especially after heavy rain. I called TriStone Masonry & Restoration and Pat came around to take a look at everything. Pat and the team figured out where the water was getting in and got straight to work. They repaired the problem areas, waterproofed everything properly, and made sure the basement was left clean and solid when they were finished. Since the work was completed, I haven?t had the same water problems. Really good, genuine guys to deal with and very professional from start to finish. I?m extremely happy with the work and would definitely recommend TriStone Masonry & Restoration to anyone having basement or waterproofing problems in Statem island."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

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.

Yes, it is possible to over-dehumidify a house by removing too much moisture from the air. This can create an overly dry environment that negatively affects those with respiratory or skin issues, and may cause your skin, hair, and sinuses to feel dry. However, this is unlikely to happen with most modern dehumidifiers, as they are equipped with moisture sensors and adjustable settings. These features allow the unit to pause automatically when the desired humidity level is reached, preventing the air from becoming uncomfortably dry. In contrast, older or more basic dehumidifiers left running for too long could potentially over-dry the air. To avoid this, aim for a balance between removing excess moisture and maintaining a comfortable environment. You can often monitor your home's humidity levels using a modern thermostat for guidance.

If you decide to fill the space around your home’s foundation with landscaping materials, it’s important to consider the aesthetic as well as technical factors like drainage and protection from pests and the elements. Materials such as gravel, rubber mulch, concrete, and brick masonry are all good options.

In perfect conditions—meaning, no overexposure to the elements without roofing material on top of it—an ice and water shield can last for decades. In fact, many come with a limited lifetime warranty because they should last for a long time. If, however, the membrane is exposed to the elements during building or if there is a delay in installing the roofing material, it might only last up to 180 days if exposed to the elements. The key is to make it a layer of protection and then protect that layer by installing the roofing.
