"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."

"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!"

"Great company to work with, very friendly knowledgeable people and customer satisfaction is their goal. Matt and his crew did a superb job restoring our finished basement after it got flooded when our sump pump had failed during heavy rains. Dual pumps were installed, along with waterproof and mold proof walls and flooring and a Sedona dehumidifier air purification system."

"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."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Syracuse, ensure safety by selecting water-based sealants and installing temporary barriers to separate work zones from living spaces. Use HEPA air filtration to reduce dust, especially in older homes where lead paint or asbestos may be present. Store all tools and chemicals in locked containers, and keep walkways dry and slip-resistant. Ventilate the area well to minimize odors and reduce the risk of mold during cold months.

Helpful?

Syracuse homeowners are choosing interior French drains and sump pumps with battery backups to handle frequent storms. Vapor barriers and integrated dehumidifiers are favored for moisture control, while moisture-resistant flooring is popular for finished basements. Many are opting for smart sump pump systems with remote alerts and insulated foundation walls, which help with energy efficiency and make future basement renovations easier.

Helpful?

Syracuse professionals first address immediate threats like active leaks, significant foundation cracks, or visible mold growth. Next, they repair or upgrade sump pumps and drainage systems to prevent future water entry. Preventive measures, such as installing vapor barriers or regrading soil, follow. Seasonal timing is important—urgent repairs are handled before winter, while larger exterior projects are planned for spring or summer to ensure lasting results.

Helpful?

In Syracuse, piling snow or mulch against the foundation, letting gutters overflow with autumn leaves, or using salt near basement walls can weaken waterproofing. Failing to extend downspouts away from the house and allowing poor grading to persist increases water risk. Indoors, neglecting sump pump checks or blocking ventilation can lead to moisture buildup, so regular maintenance and proactive drainage habits are essential.

Helpful?

In Syracuse, basement waterproofing is often needed along foundation walls exposed to heavy snow and freeze-thaw cycles, especially where older concrete block foundations are present. Floor-wall joints and window wells are common entry points for moisture after spring snowmelt. Pay close attention to sump pump pits and exterior foundation edges, as shifting soils and poor surface drainage can accelerate water intrusion in these areas.
