"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had Adirondack Basement Systems come to our home to lift our foundation, and we could not have been happier with the experience. Mikey, the foreman, and Justin, the installer, were absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Both were professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient. They took the time to make sure the job was done right, kept us informed throughout the process, and made what could have been a stressful home repair feel completely manageable. It is so refreshing to have a crew come into your home who clearly takes pride in their work and also genuinely cares about the customer experience. Mikey and Justin represented Adirondack Basement Systems exceptionally well. We would absolutely recommend both of them, as well as Adirondack Basement Systems, to anyone needing foundation or basement work. Five stars all around. Thank you, Mikey and Justin, for such a positive experience!"

"Greg restored one leg of a horseshoe driveway for us that another contractor had actually said was irreparable and regraded and resurfaced the entire driveway. He removed a couple dead trees and did some regrading on our yard. Weâ re very pleased with a job done quickly and with an aesthetic eye for detail."

"The whole process went very smoothly. They cam out and gave me a free estimate for the work. They were back in a couple of weeks, on time, dug around the hole, filled and patched it, and even lay new dirt around the hole to make it flush with the lawn. Both the owner and the assistant were very friendly, efficient, and thorough. Would definitely hire again for masonry needs."

"Aidan responded quickly and continued to get back to me in a timely fashion throughout the project. He is a "no hassle" person to work with which makes it a breeze for communication. He is reliably trustworthy. As for the work, his crew is steady, prompt, hardworking and professional. What's not to like. I would use them again and will likely do so."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.

You should always hire a structural engineer or a professional and licensed foundation repair company for crawl space repair. These professionals will often be able to treat the symptoms of the issue as well as the underlying problem so that you don’t have ongoing damage. They’ll also often take preventative measures to stop the issue from recurring in the future.

Unfortunately, mold can grow pretty much anywhere, on any kind of surface. However, you’re most likely to see it in damp areas like basements or bathrooms, as well as anywhere there has been a water leak. Consult a local mold specialist to determine if certain areas of your home are prone to mold based on climate and other factors.

Installing a bathroom in a basement isn’t a project for most homeowners. Many parts—plumbing, electricity, and carpentry—go into this project, each requiring expert-level knowledge and tools. One miscalculation can lead to very expensive repairs. Plus, some homeowner’s insurance might not pay for damages caused by a homeowner DIYing this project. You can protect yourself by allowing the pros to complete this job for you. 

The best basement waterproofing method depends on the specific issue causing the water intrusion. For minor problems, simple solutions like installing a properly functioning gutter system to direct runoff away and grading the soil to slope away from your foundation can be effective.

If you have more significant water problems, the solution will need to be more robust:

  • For standing water on the basement floor, a floor drain or a sump pump system may be the best solution.

  • For water pooling around the foundation, installing an exterior French drain can intercept water before it reaches the basement walls.

Other effective waterproofing methods, which can be used depending on your home's specific needs, climate, and soil type, include sealing the interior walls, landscape alteration, installing interior drainage systems, and using a dehumidification system to control moisture levels.
