"We had Adirondack basement come out to waterproof our basement that got water whenever there was heavy rain or snow melt. The entire process was stress free and organized. Jeff was our Sales rep and was extremely informative about the entire process. The contractors that came out, Tim and Chris, were very friendly and worked efficiently. It was the easiest and stress-free experience I?ve had with ANY work for the house. I highly recommend Adirondack basement for any work needed for basements."
"Good salesmanship and promises up front , high prices. Apparently it's a crapshoot what work crew you get. The crew I got did extremely sloppy work, made lame excuses for shortcuts they took and damage they did, needed constant supervision to check on the work quality, took triple the estimated work time, (promised 2 days, took 6 and kept us and our kids up until 10:30 pm the on last day because they had another job scheduled), and finally needed the intervention of a supervisor in order to finish with barely acceptable job quality with a gravelly mess left around my sliding door. They used property without permission. It was overall an unpleasant experience having them in my living space, I ended up having to move out until they were finished. I hope never to have to repeat that experience. Hopefully the work they did will be effective in keeping water out of my basement during any upcoming monsoon."

"The crew was very professional and quite speedy. They arrived with all their materials in a truck and got the job done in a day. Left the job site clean, It's not exactly 'finish' work but it made the basement look much bigger and brighter. Good job."
"My rear facade wall was falling apart, there was apparent deterioration, cracks falling apart. I was recommended to High Tech by our community board. Scaffold was used for this project. They chipped out the 4-story facade and applied wire-mash. First coat of cement was for curing and the second coat was the finishing coat. The finishing coat was very finely re-finished. The back-wall was waterproofed with thoro-coat. My roof was leaking as well at multiple places, bubbles had been formed with water seeping in, leaving into my kitchen. The weather was very rainy and stormy at that time and thanks to High Tech they repaired my roof by placing a new layer roof on top of the existing roof and stopped the leak. High Tech remains as one of the top recommended company in our community board."
"Mold Buster's got it right. Chris and Sayde and the crew are hard working honest people who know what they are doing. Not only is Chris knowledgeable about this service, he is honest and forthright. He is committed to your total satisfaction with the job. We hired him after we inherited my father's house/cottage. The roof had been leaking and moisture had been getting into the basement and exterior walls, causing mold growth throughout. Chris quickly identified all the problem areas, suggested various solutions, worked with us to set up budget and schedule, answered all our questions, and completed the job in a timely fashion. Bottom line is we are very pleased with the result, would use Chris again, and recommend him highly."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Some basement waterproofing methods can actually cause your water or moisture problems to get worse, which is why it’s so important to call in a professional who knows how to solve your underlying issue and use the appropriate waterproofing methods. An example of this would be applying latex waterproofing paint to the insides of your basement walls without fixing the water issue outside. Doing so can trap moisture in the basement walls, which can promote mold growth, peeling paint, and even damaged concrete. However, when done by a professional, the only downside to basement waterproofing is the up-front cost.
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.
Whether your homeowners insurance covers slab leak repairs depends on your specific policy and the cause of the leak. Many policies cover slab leaks resulting from a covered peril, such as a natural disaster, a falling tree, or pipes freezing and bursting within the slab. However, damage caused by invading tree roots, corrosion, or leaks from appliances may not be covered by a standard policy. It's a good idea to also check your home warranty plan for potential coverage if an appliance is the source. Contact your insurance provider for a full explanation of what your policy covers.
You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.
Yes, the air from a damp basement can travel up into your living area through a process called the stack effect, so moisture, mold spores, and other debris in your basement air can all decrease your indoor air quality on your main floors. Additionally, damp basements can promote the rotting of building materials, which can damage flooring, insulation, and framing on your first floor in addition to materials in the basement.
