"Richie and Vinny are great guys who stand behind their work. I called them about a leak in my basement, which they had fixed a year ago. They came over ASAP, turned out it was a slow leak in hot water heater. I can't recommend them highly enough. Very nice guys. Joe in New Dorp"

"Rahat Construction did an amazing job repairing my basement and waterproofing the exterior of my house after Hurricane Ida. They regraded the cement, replaced the basement doors, re-fortified and repainted the damaged basement walls and replaced the badly cracked cement on my sidewalk. They are highly responsive, they work very quickly and carefully, and above all, they care about their customers—always taking time to explain decisions and new issues as they arise. This is the second time I’ve worked with them, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat."

"Everyone at Corri Construction is top-notch! Spoke and texted with Entoni Corri about a leak coming through the basement ceiling. He was able to send Ervin, a wonderful and patient plumber solved the mystery, and worked with Dominik, Entoni’s dad, to replace two old, leaky toilets. They were very skilled and thorough, patiently explained what needed to be done and did a great job. I highly recommend Corri Construction."

"Moises and his crew repaired water rotted wood in difficult locations and completely finished the garage to every detail from insulation to molding, as shown in pictures here. They thought of every detail that shows their pride over their work. Not only is their work top notch, but they are also easy to work with and very communicative through the whole process. I have already hired them for a second job."

"Headly was very knowledgeable and professional. He was also very honest to tell me that the issue was not an emergency as I thought it was. He gave me a lot of information about the water in our basement and advised me to call him if it happens again after a heavy rain. He also checked out and cleaned my gutter while he was there."

"Enea and Eres arrived promptly to remove our basement 75gallon leaking water tank and install a new one they brought with them after my frantic early morning call. They installed the new tank, working perfectly, then carried out the extremely heavy old tank up narrow wooden stairs and with heroic effort managed to heave it up and out of the building and arranged for it to be picked up that afternoon Well worth the cost of the job, thoroughly knowledgeable, and prompt service Will call them in future for more home plumbing needs that arise Thank you to AE Mechanical & Heating/Eno Plumbing & Heating for saving the day!!"

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

Pooling or standing water in your basement should be cause for alarm and action. This indicates that there is a leak or a drainage issue, and until you repair the root of the problem, the situation will only happen again or grow in severity. It’s important to deal with water damage as soon as it occurs.

Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.

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.

Typically, waterproofing a basement should last up to 10 years. However, it’s worth noting that with proper maintenance and depending on the waterproofing method and installation quality, you can probably squeeze another decade out of it.

Most people consider a French drain to be one of the most effective solutions for foundation leaks, but it’s not always a standalone solution. French drains will help keep water away from your foundation to reduce the risk of leaking and structural damage from soil expansion, but depending on your foundation type and location, you might need other systems or techniques—like soil gradation and gutter and leader installation—to resolve the underlying problem.
