"Josh Taft and Brad were very personable, professional and efficient. They were also respectful of my house. This is the second time I’ve used your company. No offense, but I hope I don’t need the services of your company again."
"After years of a damp basement and mildew problems a water leak from a broken kitchen pipe above the basement led us to use our insurance and redo the floors. That led to us wanting to solve the wet basement problem once and for all if possible. Mildew experts were going to be very expensive and not solve the problem of dampness that created it. I read a lot of reviews and then called B-Sure. When family owner Ron came to analyze the problem he was knowledgeable and very forthcoming about costs and pros and cons. He suggested we put a french drain around our basement to change the hydrostatic pressure around the house. B-Sure also removed all mildew, took out two covered windows and filled in two window wells along the ground, replaced our sump pump and replaced an old window. All of that cost less than the mildew company was going to charge to just remove some mildew from part of the basement. This was a very big project in the winter in the middle of a pandemic and the family members and other employees who worked on it were on-time (or early!) polite and did a great job cleaning up! It only took them a few days to do all the work! Six months later our basement is dry and nice and that is after a spring with a lot of rain. We just hired them again to work on solving an issue we have had for years with a drainage pipe in our yard that is clogged. This company is great at what they do and you get a lot for your money. They get my highest recommendation!"
"ErieHome waterproofed my basement. The crew was polite, kind, and came in, did an excellent job in 3 days by digging a trench on the inside of the basement, removing the dirt from the bottom of the foundation, installed corrugated tubing, rock and then cement. They also installed a Humidex airpurifier and new sump pump with a backup pump. They cleaned up afterward. Any questions I had were answered in a respectful manor. I now have peace of mind knowing that I no longer have to monitor weather forecasts for rain or have to clean up anymore incoming water. The system is warranted for the life of the house and included within the price, which increased the value of my home."
"Woodford brothers did a great job waterproofing my basement. There estimate was right on par with other companies and actually a bit lower. The workers were very professional and very respectful of my property and house. Shoutout to Hunter who answered all questions thoroughly and didn’t mind at all how many I had as he was working! They showed up on time and worked all day, barely taking breaks. And so far, and we’ve had a few rainy days, we have had no water in our basement. I would not hesitate to recommend Woodford Brothers."
"Rich and his team did a fantastic job on waterproofing my basement. I had many folks over for a quote and the vast majority of them spent hours of my time and quoted me very large prices on installing a waterproofing system.
Rich came over, explained what work could be done, quoted a simple price, and left it at that.
The crew was professional, timely, friendly, and thoughtful. They even provided sone minor fixes to some outside concrete items free of charge which saved from having to call out another crew for additional work.
I highly recommend R. Davies if you want a professional crew who can get a job done efficiently and honestly."

"In response to my initial email inquiry, Eric, the owner, came to the house and we discussed all of the issues and how they would deal with them. He took measurements and pictures and was very professional, polite and encouraging. Within a few days he emailed me a very precise and detailed proposal outlining all three jobs and the estimated cost. I immediately accepted. Adam came to the house and took some more measurements and pictures and said the work would begin the following week and take three days. The required permits were taken care of right away. As scheduled, Paul (the onsite foreman), Lloyd and TJ showed up and began to work. Braces were installed against the basement wall after the cracks were repaired. On the exterior a French drain was put in along the side of the house extending to the ditch out front. The old walkout was excavated and a new permentry door was installed. The work went as planned with no problems and was finished in three days. All debris was taken care of and they cleaned up when they were through. All of my questions and concerns were answered. Adam followed up the day after the work was completed to see if I was satisfied and to answer any additional questions. I also must give kudos to Cynthia, the office manager, who made the paperwork and payment process smooth and effortless. The quality of the work and the quality of the employees is just exceptional.

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Access to commercial-grade products and equipment, ensuring thorough coverage and long-lasting protection.
A vapor barrier keeps moisture out of the crawl space, while insulation reduces the amount of unconditioned air—and sometimes moisture—that enters the space. Coupling a vapor barrier with insulation can help prevent humidity and related moisture damage in a crawl space while also making your home more energy-efficient. Just be sure to use insulation that won’t get damaged from moisture, like rigid foam board or expanding spray foam insulation.
Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to water-damaged concrete.
If foundation problems are not fixed, they will likely worsen over time, leading to more complex and expensive repairs. Neglecting a damaged foundation can cause a range of issues, including:
Structural Damage: Minor problems like small cracks can escalate into major structural issues. This can damage the house above the foundation and, in severe cases, lead to foundation walls caving in or a total collapse.
Water Damage and Pests: Moisture and water intrusion can cause flooding, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Health and Safety Risks: Mold can lead to poor indoor air quality and other health risks, while structural instability poses a significant safety hazard.
Reduced Home Efficiency: A compromised foundation can negatively impact your home's energy efficiency.
To avoid these escalating problems and costs, it's best to hire a foundation repair company to address any issues as soon as you become aware of them. The earlier problems are discovered and fixed, the lower the repair cost will likely be.
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.
