"I had 3 quotes to have the mold in my basement removed. Comprehensive was by far the most inexpensive, by thousands. They showed up when they said they would, They finished the job in the exact time stated, two and a half days. I feel like I have a brand new basement. It is cleaner than when they got there also. They even told us about a small water leak by the washing machine that we never noticed, just a small drip on the faucet. Great people to deal with and since they have an excellent warranty on their work, I probably won't need to talk to them again but if I do I know they will respond in the typical professional manner. Fabulous Job.."

"Salesperson did a complete walk-around of the outside of the house and perimeter of the basement. He identified that the majority of my water problems were from my gutters. He then explained the process they would use to repair the wall leak and another wall crack in the basement wall. I did get my gutters repaired and have not had water problems since. The basement wall repair was completed in one day adn I am very happy with the results."

"Had severe leaks in the basement. Called Lock Tight (and others) for estimate. Was given a very comprehensive plan to not only fix leaks but to also move as much water away from the house and work that came with a transferable warranty for 30 years. So although the cost was $23,000 we knew we were not going to go through the **** we endured last fall so we put down a deposit in March. For the next few months we worried that we were spending too much. Then the work began. Three days before there was a moderate rain and the water poured in which helped us cope with the cost. Work began and the job supervisor Tom and his crew arrived and went over every detail of the coming days which began with jack hammering the basement floor. After an hour and 45 minutes they broke for lunch so I of course went downstairs to see the 'damage'. I was astounded to see that in that short amount of time they had managed to complete about 280' of the 300' necessary. The speed of the work was a recurring theme. They had laid a protective membrane over the hardwood floor that led from the basement door to the front door which I am sure is standard among every company that does this type of work. What was extraordinary was at the end of the day when they were preparing to leave. I saw a worker on his hands and knees pulling up the barrier working his was out the front door. Every couple of feet he would reach out and pick up small debris, place it on the barrier and continue folding it up trapping it. This was done everyday. At the end of day one all of the old drain tile had been removed and all concrete debris, stone and clay tile removed. They then in essence power washed the basement floor leaving it cleaner than when they found it. Other highlights: They dug the tranches to tie my downspouts into the Town storm drain but instead of just digging the trench, they removed the grass and rolled it like sod so it could be replaced eliminating any reseeding from me. All I was required to do was water that grass everyday; something that every single person on the crew reminded us of at least once before leaving that afternoon. It felt like they were as concerned with it regrowing as much as we were. At the downspouts and in several locations in the basement are cleanouts so every two years or so I can flush all of the pipes and keep this system like new for many years. They worked through heat, they worked through rain and we never heard anyone complaining which brings me to the crew itself. This was a very physically demanding job and the amount of work they accomplished in one week still amazes me. Every member of the crew was professional and pleasant. no matter who we asked a question to, we were always given an answer. Never did someone tell us we had to ask someone else which showed they were all knowledgeable in their job as well as the specifics of what we had paid.for. Lastly and while perhaps not important to some of you reading this but of immense importance to us was their interaction with our 2 year old daughter. For five days she had strange people coming into her house and making quite a bit of noise so of course she was very curious. Countless times when we would look away she would head over to the areas where, as she put it, 'the boys' were. She oversaw some of the digging as well as he removal of much of the basement debris and no matter how many questions she asked, no matter how tired they were, each and every member of the crew would engage her with a smile on their face. This includes the poor guy who she told to "keep digging." When the day came for them to pack up leave for the last time my daughter was asleep. My wife actually woke her up so that she could say goodbye to her new friends, knowing she would be disappointed if she missed them. I guess maybe the best thing I can say is that we did not buy an in-ground pool or a bathroom or kitchen remodel. We spent $23,000 on work that in fact we cannot even see. We can't show it off or even step back and admire it. Yet knowing this very important job was done with such professionalism and attention to detail as well as the manner in which the crew conducted themselves I don't think we could be happier. I have been and will continue to recommend Lock Tight to everyone."
Another happy customer!
Clay drain tile removal.  FACT: With WNY being an older development in most areas, clay drain tile was used in the basements to lower the water table.  Over time, clay deteriorates which leaves you with cracked, broken and defective drain tile.  This leads to water backing up into your basement causing mold, mildew & damage to your foundation.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Be wary of quotes that lack details about foundation drainage or moisture control, especially if they don’t address Buffalo’s heavy precipitation and soil type. Avoid contractors who can’t explain their approach to handling water intrusion during spring thaws or who push generic solutions. If a professional doesn’t provide local references, requests full payment upfront, or avoids discussing seasonal challenges, consider these significant warning signs.

Helpful?

Buffalo homeowners often overlook the importance of exterior foundation drainage, relying solely on interior solutions that may not address the root problem. Starting projects during the rainy season or skipping a comprehensive moisture assessment can lead to incomplete results. Failing to install a battery backup for sump pumps or not choosing contractors familiar with Buffalo’s freeze-thaw cycles are also frequent missteps that can compromise long-term protection.

Helpful?

Buffalo’s climate—with heavy lake-effect snow, rapid freeze-thaw cycles, and high groundwater in spring—directly impacts basement waterproofing. Exterior work is best scheduled for late spring through early fall to avoid frozen ground. Prolonged wet periods can stress drainage systems, making robust moisture control and reliable sump pumps essential. Planning your project around Buffalo’s unpredictable weather helps ensure long-lasting protection for your basement.

Helpful?

In Buffalo, basement waterproofing maintenance involves regular checks of sump pumps, especially before spring thaw and after heavy storms. Inspect foundation walls for new cracks and ensure all drainage systems, including gutters and downspouts, remain clear of debris. Annual professional inspections are recommended to catch early signs of moisture intrusion. Consistent dehumidifier use and monitoring for musty odors help maintain a dry, healthy basement environment year-round.

Helpful?

In Buffalo, basement waterproofing projects can reveal hidden costs like addressing foundation drainage issues or repairing damage from persistent moisture. Uncovering old or faulty drain tiles, rerouting downspouts to manage heavy rainfall, and mitigating mold growth are common surprises. If your property has mature landscaping, restoring it after excavation can add to the expense. Always budget for unforeseen repairs unique to Buffalo’s climate and soil conditions.
