"AFFORDABLE BASEMENT WATERPROOFING WITH A LIFETIME GUARANTEE! My basement walls had 3 cracks in them. They leaked water into the basement when we had heavy rains. To fix these cracks I called in top rated waterproofing companies for their estimates to do their repair work. I found these companies to be very expensive and give minimum time on their warranty's for their work, for the money you have to pay them! Then I found New York Waterproofing Inc. and owner George Carpozi III, George has been in the basement waterproofing business for many years and knows how to fix any type of basement water problem. He has waterproofed residential as well as commercial basements, fresh and ocean salt water problems, leaking basement walls, windows, joints, and water coming up through the basement floor. George can stop the leaks! He has his own system to do this without digging up outside your property! He is so sure he can fix your leak George gives a WRITTEN LIFETIME GUARANTEE on the work he has done for you. Who else does that? I hired George to repair my basement cracks, George and his crew came to my home the Sunday before the NY area had days of RECORD RAINFALLS last week. With all the rain we had, none of the cracks George repaired leaked! The pice I paid New York Waterproofing Inc, and with a written lifetime guarantee on the repairs they made, was about HALF the cost of the lowest estimate I received from the other waterproofing companies I called in! If you have any type of basement water problem, my recommendation is to call and get estimates, but DO NOT SIGN anything, until you call George Carpozi III, and New York Waterproofing Inc. You owe it to yourself, and your pocket! I don't know of any other basement waterproofing company who will give you a written lifetime guarantee on their work. I wish all with wet basements the best, and a happy dry basement to come as well, now go make that call!"

"I am not yet able to determine whether or not the expected results of the basement waterproofing work is satisfactory as I have not had a rainstorm or heavy rain since the basement waterproofing work was performed. I will, however, pay great accolades to Quality 1st customer service, especially to Kyle. I was troubled with the proposal for the job as certain aspects of the language would have left me at an unfair liability should something had gone wrong with the work. I explained this issue with Kyle who followed through until the proposal was acceptable to me. The work crew was exceptional in that they were punctual, worked quickly, neatly and were, without question, among the hardest workers ever to have done a construction project for me. The crew was headed by Wilver along with his guys - Manuel and Jose. Again, I will refrain from commenting on the expected results of the work performed until the appropriate circumstances occur. In summary, I would say that Quality 1st demonstrated A1 customer service and the crew that performed my basement work were hard workers with great attitude."

"I hired Long Island handyman construction group to remodel a 400sf basement and bathroom in Melville. They were priced in the middle compared to other bids. I picked them thanks to their out of the box advice which saved me thousands of dollars. There was one problem with the plumbing which cost an extra 1800 dollars. The owner settled with me 50/50 even though it was a pre-existing issue. The project was started early and completed early. All mess was cleaned up and the crew was very friendly and fully aware. Very reputable guys and very easy to deal with. Thanks Moises and Eddy."

"Bobby and his crew answered all my questions, they were respectful and extremely helpful. Bobby and crew went above and beyond what was on the contract. My house looks beautiful, they power washed entire building, pained the sidewall of the building with thorocoat, front of house was pointed where necessary and applied waterproofing sealer, glass block window, painted stoop and stairs, cemented cracks on stoop and sidewalk, painted outside railing and applied cement in basement where needed. I have to say some of what was done wasnâ  t even on the contract, so they went above what was expected and to my surprise Bobby didnâ  t charge extra. Being a single woman who has had bad experiences with contractors and their disgraceful personalities, having Bobby and his crew work on my property was a pleasure and breath of fresh air. I would hire Bobby and his crew again and recommend them in a heart beat. Best work!!"

"Headly was very knowledgeable and professional. He was also very honest to tell me that the issue was not an emergency as I thought it was. He gave me a lot of information about the water in our basement and advised me to call him if it happens again after a heavy rain. He also checked out and cleaned my gutter while he was there."

"I Hired Hi Tech in spring of 2019 for a repair of my backyard cement work. Kami suggested I replace my cement with pavers instead. His price was so fair, that not only did I hire him to replace my backyard cement, but ALSO repair/waterproof my rear wall AND paint my fire escape as well! I'm so pleased to write that ALL the work Hi Tech did was top-notch & their workers were very respectful and cleaned up very well. Any concerns I had during construction was addressed immediately by Kami, which is HUGE in my book after dealing with other contractors that were not up to par. I would recommend Kami and his workers at Hi Tech Contracting & look forward to using them in the future, because their work raised the value of my home. I now have THE BEST looking backyard on my block!"

"ENO Plumbing came in and worked until they finished the job , all within a day! Our storm drain was backing up and water would just sit there and next door neighbor always complaining! They were professional. They explained everything that needed to be done including digging further down and replacing drain. They had to cut out the cement to the downspout and then recement! It has since rained and no problems!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

While a standard gutter system is widely considered the most effective way to prevent water damage to your home's foundation, several alternatives are available. These options can be used on their own in certain climates or as supplementary protection.

Common alternatives include:

  • Rain Chains: These are decorative chains that hang from the roof's edge, guiding rainwater to the ground.

  • Drip Edges: These metal strips are installed at the edge of the roof to direct water away from the fascia. While often used with gutters, they can be paired with a ground-level solution but are typically not sufficient on their own.

  • Rain Dispersal Systems: These systems work by breaking up the heavy sheet of water flowing off the roof, dispersing it over a wider area.

  • French Drains: This ground-level system uses a perforated pipe in a gravel-filled trench to collect and redirect water runoff away from the house.

  • Drip Paths: Placed directly below the roofline, these paths made of concrete, stone, or other materials prevent soil erosion and guide water away.

It's important to note that some alternatives like rain chains and dispersal systems may not be adequate in regions with heavy rainfall because they don't divert water away from the foundation as effectively as a full gutter system. Ground-based solutions like French drains can be very effective but are often more expensive and can affect your landscaping and curb appeal. Many experts recommend installing a full gutter system for maximum protection and using alternatives as supplementary measures.

Having a trusted crawl space contractor is the key to great encapsulation. If you're not sure how to hire a crawl space pro, begin by asking your neighbors for referrals. Homes in your neighborhood will often have a similar foundation to your house, and personal recommendations are one of the best ways to find a contractor. Additionally, double-check that the contractor has experience with encapsulation as well as proof of their license and insurance.

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.

To ensure your basement walls are waterproof, it's crucial to address any existing moisture issues before finishing. Inspect for signs of water seepage, such as dampness or discoloration, and repair any leaks or cracks. Install a vapor barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls, and consider waterproofing paints or coatings.

Proper drainage systems, such as interior or exterior waterproofing, can also be beneficial.

Water can seep into porous materials like wood beams, floor joists, and roof rafters within minutes, but they’ll need to see prolonged exposure before you have structural damage. Mold can start growing within 24 hours, and mold can eat away at the structural components over time. Wood rot is more of a concern, though. Wet and dry rot are fungal infections that set in in moist conditions and rapidly deteriorate wood, causing major structural damage within just a few months in some cases.
