"USA Waterproofing services did a very good job with our basement .The workers were all professional and left the basement clean and also they explained the way the work was done. Steve, the president of the company even gave his cell no. to me just in case I have problem. I could recommend them to my friends anytime."
"Steve arrived on time to inspect the basement of our family home for mold. He was very professional and thorough in his review of our our basement walls and spaces, and informed us we need to remove some old paneling and ceiling tiles, and could do much of the needed cleaning on our own. We appreciate Steve's honesty and taking his time to explain things to us in easy to understand language and providing additional tips to keep good air quality in our basement. We will highly recommend AirGuard to our family and friends for similar services."
"Excellent - Josh, Mark, and the team tore out 3 feet of concrete floor to replace the base of the stack pipe then worked their way up. Project took 2 days, first floor was completed and back on line the first day. Second floor and cleanup was done the second. 100 year old home so none of the old plumbing was easy to access. Very happy with results and with the professionalism of his team."

"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+++"
"Wyatt did an awesome job. This was a major job. I had a water pipe break just under the house foundation. They initially believed it could be reached from the outside, but determined the break was just under the foundation. Because of this, they needed to break up the concrete floor in the basement at the outside wall. They carefully removed the floor molding and the wood boards before jackhammering a 2 foot by 1 foot hole at the edge of the floor at the outside wall. They were very neat and tidy. The broken pipe was fixed in less than a day. They then cleaned out many of the faucets and came back the next day to adust the water pressure and be sure all faucets were working properly. They kept us informed at all steps of the process and the cost was less than their estimate. We highly recommend Wyatt for your plumbing needs."
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
In most cases, yes, because the large majority of basements leak or will have moisture issues at some point, and waterproofing methods can mitigate that risk or eliminate it entirely. Plus, water and moisture issues can be quite problematic, as they can lead to mold growth, rotting of building materials, structural damage, poor indoor air quality, increased electric bills, and other problems.
The first step to preventing foundation cracks is to repair any current ones. When one crack forms, it becomes more likely that a second crack will follow. A few other tips include performing regular foundation checks, cleaning spouts and gutters, and installing exterior drains if needed. For those living in a hot and arid area, you should water your foundation every other day.
Walkout basements cost more than other kinds of basements, and can also increase your risk of leaks as well as a loss of insulation, leading to higher heating and cooling costs. Improperly installed walkout basements may lead to structural issues with your foundation, so ensure you’re working with a contractor who has extensive experience with this kind of basement.
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.
There are a few downsides to a wet room, the most important of which is the risk of mold growth from the moisture and humidity. Standard bathrooms can have the same issue, but wet rooms are more likely to experience problems because water is less carefully contained. You also have less privacy since the entire bathroom is open, and the room must include waterproofing, which makes wet rooms more expensive to install than regular bathrooms.
