"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!!!!!!!!"

"First attempt at remediation was disappointing, but subsequently a more aggressive effort was made. I must say I was pleasantly surprised at the level of customer service and concern. In a time when warranties and customer satisfaction are just lip service, it is a refreshing experience to deal with a company that values its customerâ s concerns. I would recommend you consider Once And Done for your basement waterproofing needs.."

"This team was great. Tim did the initial site visit and explained everything in detail while drawing a diagram of the work to be completed. Crew was on time, friendly, professional and started work right away. Only about one third of basement needed waterproofing. If future conditions require additional areas to be waterproofed, I will definitely call Highlander."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

In Reading, if you notice persistent basement moisture after storms, white chalky residue (efflorescence), peeling paint, rust on metal fixtures, or mold growth, these are warning signs. Cracks wider than 1/8 inch, bowing walls, or step cracks in block foundations also indicate trouble. These issues, common due to Reading’s clay soils and frequent basement flooding, suggest your previous waterproofing is failing and needs attention.

Helpful?

In Reading, combining basement waterproofing with foundation repairs, insulation upgrades, or sump pump installation can help prevent future basement flooding and moisture issues. Scheduling these projects together often streamlines the process and minimizes disruption. It’s best to complete waterproofing before finishing any basement renovations to protect new materials and ensure long-lasting results for your home.

Helpful?

In Reading, success depends on using waterproofing materials that withstand freeze-thaw cycles and are suitable for clay soils. Proper drainage design, thorough sealing, and correct installation techniques are crucial. Regular maintenance—like sump pump checks and gutter cleaning—extends the life of your waterproofing. Hiring professionals familiar with Reading’s unique soil and foundation types helps ensure your basement stays dry for years to come.

Helpful?

Homes in Reading near the Schuylkill River, with clay-rich soils, or built before 1960 are especially vulnerable to basement moisture and flooding. If you notice high humidity, musty odors, water stains, or rust on stored items, your home likely needs waterproofing. Frequent local flooding or the absence of a sump pump are additional signs that investing in waterproofing will help protect your basement.

Helpful?

For Reading’s humid conditions and risk of basement flooding, keep a dehumidifier (at least 50-pint), a reliable sump pump, wet/dry vacuum, and a moisture meter. Stock hydraulic cement, waterproof sealants, vapor barrier plastic, and gutter sealant. Gutter cleaning tools, downspout extensions, and ice melt are also helpful for managing foundation moisture and preventing water intrusion during seasonal weather changes.
