"We had our basement waterproofed in May 2019, the crew was out for 3 days. They also did some landscape grading. It's been 1.5 years and no problem. Very professional company. If I have any questions Carl or his wife, Jayna, respond promptly. I would highly recommend ABC for waterproofing a basement."
"They did a great job installing French drains and sump pump in our basement. Great communication! They changed work plan to cater to our needs and got it done in one day, staying until it was finished. Very reasonably priced!! Highly recommend!!"
"The Highlander Waterproofing team arrived on time. They were cordial, evaluated the the job and began work immediately. They were very professional, having the knowledge and skills to successfully complete the job. Would highly recommend Highlander Waterproofing, excellent job in reinforcing and strengthening the basement wall."
"Professional, concerned and regular communication. I had the entire foundation waterproofed and new drain tile installed. Crew was polite and offered suggestions to improve final re-grade. Completed projected timely after several weather delays."
"Some of the big companies charge an exorbitant amount to waterproof your basement. Bracken was very fair and reasonable with their price, as one company wanted 4x more for the same work. Dan was very professional and communicated well throughout the project. Bracken completed the job in the quoted time frame and the work was nicely done. Our basement is now completely waterproof with an interior French drain along the perimeter, carbon fiber straps to reinforce the wall that is bowing, and the downspouts to our gutters rerouted to a dry well. We are very happy with the value, professionalism, and quality of work that Bracken provided. Our family highly and enthusiastically recommends Bracken Waterproofing!"
"The waterproofing crew(Kingsly, Nick, Richard, DeMario, and Demonti, and Rocco) were extremely, knowledgeable, professional., and hardworking! They kept me informed with each step of the waterproofing project and explained it all very thoroughly. They were very neat throughout the process and cleaned up well at the end of each work day. I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Systems for waterproofing and\or foundation work meeded!"
"I had a pretty bad flood in my basement after the heavy storms that came through back in June. I realized that my sump pump was the reason so I needed to replace it.
I wanted something with more horsepower and after doing some research, I decided an ejector pump would work best for my home. Tyler was very friendly and understanding of my situation. He told me about some options, gave me the literature and a fair price for what I wanted.
He and his team were very professional and attentive and definitely knowledgeable about the equipment and installation process. I was a little apprehensive about going with a company that’s just starting out, but Tyler gave me a good feeling about their company and products. I’m very happy with the installation and the service I received. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them again (although I hope I never have to) for any future needs. We have multiple rental properties, so I would call him first if I ever need service at any of them. A+++"

"This is a great company to use in making a 141 year old basement waterproof. I look foreward to having a waterproo basemant. Craig was pleasant and went the extra mile to make the experience great."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
Standard homeowners insurance policies may cover basement water damage or flooding, but only if it is caused by a sudden and accidental event that is a covered peril, such as a burst pipe or a failing appliance. Damage caused by natural flooding from extreme weather, groundwater seepage, or heavy rain is typically excluded and requires a separate flood insurance policy. Some insurers also offer an optional water backup endorsement for issues like sewer backups. Review your policy or speak with your agent to understand your specific coverage.
Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.
Basements are commonly converted into game rooms. The potential challenges you may run into include controlling moisture, working with low ceilings, limited natural light, and the need for additional electrical or HVAC work. Addressing these issues can add to the total cost, but it ensures a comfortable and functional space.
Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.
A leak under your foundation from a water supply line or sewage line is likely to lead to water pooling on certain areas of your property during rainfall, abnormally fast-growing or green grass in certain sections of your lawn, and differential settlement of your foundation, which can result in large foundation cracks, windows and doors failing to operate properly, a wavy or sloping roofline, or damages or irregularities in your interior walls, including cracks and bulging. If it’s a plumbing line embedded in your slab, you’ll also likely notice above-average water bills.
