"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."

"Bobby and his crew answered all my questions, they were respectful and extremely helpful. Bobby and crew went above and beyond what was on the contract. My house looks beautiful, they power washed entire building, pained the sidewall of the building with thorocoat, front of house was pointed where necessary and applied waterproofing sealer, glass block window, painted stoop and stairs, cemented cracks on stoop and sidewalk, painted outside railing and applied cement in basement where needed. I have to say some of what was done wasnâ  t even on the contract, so they went above what was expected and to my surprise Bobby didnâ  t charge extra. Being a single woman who has had bad experiences with contractors and their disgraceful personalities, having Bobby and his crew work on my property was a pleasure and breath of fresh air. I would hire Bobby and his crew again and recommend them in a heart beat. Best work!!"

"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

If you notice standing water under the deck after rainstorms, you may need a drainage system to efficiently move this water. You do not want standing water to rest against your foundation or against support posts for the deck, as this could cause significant structural problems over time. Make sure the area has proper grading, too.

Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.

Yes, cleaning a crawl space is worth the cost. Although it's an out-of-sight area, neglecting it can lead to significant problems like pest infestations (including termites and carpenter ants), mold, and fungal growth, which can cause structural damage. Regular cleaning helps prevent these issues. While hiring a contractor has ongoing costs, the price for cleaning—typically between $0.50 and $4 per square foot—is much lower than the cost to remediate a pest or mold problem. Additionally, a clean crawl space can lead to improved indoor air quality and more comfortable temperatures in your home.

Crawl space encapsulation typically lasts between 10 to 20 years. If you experience a catastrophic event, like a flood, or poorly encapsulate your space with low-quality materials, it may only last a decade. Otherwise, as long as you properly maintain your crawl space, a high-quality encapsulation can last more than 20 years.

Permits may be required for major repairs, structural work, or electrical and plumbing restoration after a flood. Check with your local building department to determine permit requirements and associated fees for your flooded basement cleanup project. Obtaining the correct permits helps ensure work is done safely and up to code.
