"They advice, and had all our questions answered on sensible and affordable options. Very knowledgeable, prompt, polite, efficient, and thorough team! We are happy with their waterproofing services in our basement (fast sump pump and a grate trench with a discharge line that goes 15 feet to the outside bubbler) as well as crawl space shield installed under our addition. It works well, and Pioneer checked a month later and a year after for inspection and cleaning. A+ work and workers."

"Dave was extremely helpful and super nice (and patient). We had some delays in our overall project and he continue to connect with me via phone and check in. The work in the basement was done quickly and neatly. I am so impressed with the Watchman team from Doreen in the office, Dave and the person who did the installation. You will not be disappointed with Watchman!!!"

One of their managers, Vicki, was so nice, pleasant and patient with me. I was frazzled with all of the damage my property received from the hurricane. She was great!"

"Dennis came by promptly and gave an estimate on price and on when the work would be done. They were able to get the job done a week early (because parts for the drain channel came in on time and they has a space in their schedule). The team (led by Dennis' son) came on the day specified and on time and worked steadily until it was done (and done correctly). They swept up the footprints (rock dust and cement dust and whatever) tracked between the basement door and garage door. They even set up the dehumidifier I bought so it drains into the sealed sump directly. The installation meets the buyer's requirements and looks nice. It's definitely an upgrade for the basement space. Carol (the owner and Dennis' mom) and her office team were also a pleasure to work with on this basement waterproofing job. Since the office was less than 2 miles away from our home and time was short, I went there to execute the contract and place the deposit (rather than waiting for the postal service). You can contract and schedule remotely (via phone, mail, etc.) but then you wouldn't have the pleasure of meeting a team that loves their business and wants to do right by the customers."

"Ray and his team were incredibly professional, kind and courteous throughout all of the home projects. Their work on my basement foundation, installation of French drains and the rebuilding of an exterior wall were all phenomenal and at a very fair price. I highly recommend their services 10/10"

FAQs for basement waterproofing projects in Exeter, RI

Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:

  • Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor

  • Mold spots in your basement

  • Musty smells or odors

  • Warped doors or walls

  • Cracks in walls

  • Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites

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.

Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.

Several factors dictate if you should waterproof the interior or exterior of your basement. Waterproofing the exterior of your home is a great option if you use your basement for storage, as it provides the most protection from water and water damage. If you prefer work done outside of your home versus inside, exterior waterproofing is best for you. However, interior waterproofing is often less expensive since the area is easier to reach and requires less labor.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
