Basically, the leak was coming from where my new foundation was meeting my old foundation. Matt speculated that it was most likely a crack along joint. Matt left an estimate and even referred me to their coupon on Angie's list. After that, I dealt with Eddie over the phone. Our first appointment had to be cancelled due to rain but he rescheduled me for the next week. He was professional and pleasant. That morning, his workers showed up and did the job in about four hours. They worked neatly and were polite. Eddie instructed me to call him if there were any problems, however, everything went without a hitch. We have had two heavy rains since the work and the basement is dry. However, even if there was a problem the work is guarenteed for, I believe, 10 years. I recommend this company highly. It was a great, stress free experience. BTW, I also got an estimate from another company to repair from the outside and it was $600 more. So not only is E&M a great company but their prices are reasonable!!!

Additional money demanded on claims of more work without prior warning and agreement. There are minor leaks from the gutter after rain.
Very professional. Was friendly, returned my call and even updated me on time of arrival to evaluate cause of leak. Gave me a cost and did the work immediately on the spot. Would use again.

"Tanem has a long history of good work. Gene did several projects for me years ago and I was glad to find Paul picked up the same qualities Gene had established. Both are easy to work with, knowledgeable, make lots of helpful suggestions so the project comes out even better than I had thought it would. You tell Paul what you want done, and he, and Gene in an advisory role, find a way to make it even better. They are flexible and just know how to find solutions. Their crews know what they’re doing. Paul keeps checking and keeps you informed as work progresses. I couldn’t be happier to see Paul continuing the Tanem tradition."

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Fresh Meadows, NY
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
