"Excellent all around experience!!!!!!!! After a series of storms and gradual water soaking our basement carpet several times, I finally called Waterproofing One in April, 2017 after seeing their ad several times on our St. Basil's church bulletin. I spoke initially with the owner-Joe who was helpful and he dispatched Dave Cook who came over within an hour. Dave Cook has been in this business and related utility engineering previously for over 30 years and really knows his stuff. Dave was extremely thorough, spending time in the basement, looking at some pictures I took of the damage and spent a considerable amount of time walking around the exterior of my property and reviewing the landscaping where most problems start. Dave wrote up a report of what work was needed including extending downspouts, recommending we have our contractor add a louvered door at the top of the steps for aeration (a great idea given no windows in basement) , waterproofing the well water closet walls, spraying impacted area for potential mold, and installing a new French drain and sump-pump system with battery backup. Gene and his crew then came over on May 17, 2018 and performed the construction and installation work and did a great job. Those guys worked extremely hard in what is inherently a muddy line of work and were very courteous, professional and left the basement very clean. Gene took extra time to show us exactly what they were doing as they drilled holes into the lower cinder block walls, laying of the perforated pipe and some of the damp mold on the wooded studs he extracted at the impacted area. We paid exactly what Dave originally quoted! Dave Cook came back checked on things and made some other recommendations including adding stones around the foundation outside and in holes to avoid soil erosion and soften the acceleration of rain water into the ground. Once the work was finished and our carpenter redid the walls and painting, We had subsequently refinished the basement with high end vapor/mold resistant padding from Mohawk and a quality polyester carpet. 15 months later and here we are on September 30, 2019 after 50+ rain storms since installation and NO WATER nor Mold issues in the basement!!! We are really enjoying our basement again thanks to WATERPROOFING ONE!!!! 5-STARS!!!!!!!!"

"The job/work couldn’t have went any better and smoother then it did, not to mention the cleanliness and customer service provided from beginning to end went above and beyond my expectations. Inside my basement they made sure objects and furniture were moved out of the way of the working area and covered for protection. They also made sure the walkways and paths used to remove debris out of the basement and new materiel into the basement were covered to prevent surfaces from getting dirty or damaged. Just overall a very thorough and diligent process from start to finish. I would highly recommended AJ Waterproofing and most certainly would rehire them for any future business if needed."

"Of the numerous contractors we spoke to regarding basement waterproofing solutions, A Waterproofing Solutions (AWS) was the most professional and cost-effective. Mike,, the salesman, was clear, concise and very informative in describing the approach they would take for our particular needs, not recommending anymore than wasn't necessary. On the day of the project start, John, the foreman, discussed the approach to the project and answered all our last-minute questions. We will be happy to give them a 5* rating, and recommend them to anyone needing the services they provide, as that is what they, your ownership and staff deserve. Mike and Scott, along with Emily and James, deserve great credit for the approach of their personnel and quality of their work. Anyone who is considering using AWS for the products and services they provide should be referred to us, and we'll be glad to give them a layman's/customers perspective of your performance on this type of project, which is a very positive one."

"Sebastian and his team at Perfect Dry were amazing to work with. They waterproofed the basement and then refinished it- creating walls, doors, a staircase, flooring, and painting the ceiling and walls. As a person with not much experience in this area, Sebastian explained everything thoroughly, and all of my expectations were exceeded. Sebastian came back very quickly to adjust a small issue I had with one of the doors about two weeks after the job was complete. Sebastian is very trustworthy and did a beautiful job refinishing my basement. I would hire him again and recommend anyone do the same!"

"I was referred to this company through HomeServe. I had a severely damaged basement pipe that ran to a second bathroom of ours. Not only did Paradigm Plumbing figure out the problem on the spot, they were back in 24 hours with everything they needed in order to complete the job. A problem that was bothering me for months they had figured out in 24 hours. I could not be happier with them. They have incredible communication, were very timely and protected everything that was outside of the bathroom they worked on. I can't recommend these guys enough."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

External pressure on the basement wall can cause it to bow inward. Soil, heavy with water saturation, is commonly the main culprit. The soil exerts immense pressure on the wall, causing it to fail, at least partially. This is known as hydrostatic pressure—these situations can occur after rainfall or simply due to regular groundwater presence and may be temporary or more permanent.  

Yes, it is generally unhealthy and can be dangerous to live in a damp basement. The damp air can negatively affect your breathing and lungs, and the moisture promotes mold growth and pest infestations. Inhaling mold spores or waste particles from insects and rodents attracted to the moisture can be hazardous. This damp, moldy air can also circulate into your main living area. It is crucial to resolve any moisture problems and implement preventative measures before using your basement as a living space.

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.

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.

Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn’t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.
