"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."

"we are selling our home and had water in the crawlspace. bs of ny waterproofed and insulated the crawlspace. an expensive fix, but one that is working and will hopefully allow us to sell the house. they were very clean and professional. crew of at least 6 and foreman came and finished job in 2 days and came back to insulate week later with a crew of one. very happy with the work and the financeing they gave us access to."
"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."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Waterproofing or encapsulating protects against moisture, preventing mold growth and structural damage. These services also enhance energy efficiency and improve air quality by keeping humidity levels in check.
You can DIY basement waterproofing in some ways to help save on the overall costs. If your basement isn’t experiencing a lot of water but is noticeably humid, you can try running a dehumidifier that will pull the excess water out of the air. If you notice water leaking due to outdoor drainage issues, you can add downspout extensions to keep rainwater away from your home.
However, if the problem is more severe and requires a more extensive solution, it’s best to call a basement waterproofing professional to assess the treatment you need and install waterproofing safeguards properly. Since keeping water out of your basement is important, ensuring this job is done correctly the first time is best.
Interlocking garage tiles made with PVC are the most effective for garages with past issues of humidity and flooding because damp concrete is not suitable for paint. Epoxy coating is also water-resistant and can prevent mold buildup. Finally, porcelain tiles are a wonderful option for wet conditions if your budget allows.
Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement.
Some of the most common cost factors include:
Location
Square footage
Cause of the water leak
Type of foundation
Accessibility
Waterproofing method
Materials
Contractor experience and availability
Engineering reports, if needed
Structural and other repairs
Permits
Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.
Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.
By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.
For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.
