"Dave from Clifton Contracting/Exterior Waterproofing came out to diagnose a leak in our basement. He came out within 24 hours and quickly identified what was causing the problem (gutters). Although this is a job too small for Clifton Contracting/Exterior Waterproofing, I would not hesitate to contact them down the road if I ever had an issue they would be better suited for. Thanks!"

"Jeff came to give us cost estimate for fixing our basement leaking issue. He was one of most knowledgeable professional I ever meet during my initial move in to new house. He explained why it is leaking and what we can do about it in very detailed logical explanation with clear diagrams to assist my understanding. Jeff said to fix these issues if it still leaks than come back for further assessment. It was great help, and I can really work on source of this problem now. I will never use any other waterproofing company other than All Aspects Waterproofing, LLC."

"Best Buy waterproofed my basement and replaced my roof. They did a wonderful job! Insurance doesn't cover it so they made very affordable with their finance options they presented. I am so pleased! I will refer them to anyone that needs service. Thank you Best Buy!"

"They did an excellent job of waterproofing our foundation, burying downspouts, and replacing a patio to guarantee drainage away from the house. Most of our interaction was with the crew foreman. He spoke good English, showed attention to detail, and did a careful, professional job even when the weather got so hot we found ourselves urging the crew to take more breaks. They were not the cheapest bid, but worth it for the skilled workmanship. This is the second project we have hired them to do, and I would recommend them for any work where drainage is important."

"We were not happy about having to do this work after our basement flooded...it was not in the budget. LUX was patient with all of our questions and the time we took to meet with other companies. They were also open to meeting our requests and timeline. Appreciate the professionalism and responsiveness from start to finish!"

"The required fix required that outside trenching be done and B-Dry does not do this type of work. The representative was very knowledgeable about the problem and apologized for not being able to solve the issue. Very much appreciated his honesty."

"Extremely pleased with the service from NV Waterproofing. Mark and his crew were professional and friendly — Mark explained everything thoroughly, responded to all of my questions and concerns, and made sure I was happy with the final outcome. Ali, who came out to do the original estimate, explained the problem with the old drainage system clearly, which was resulting in moisture in one of the walls of my townhouse. He offered several options of how they could fix the problem and responded immediately to the follow-up questions I had before the job was initiated. Highly recommended. Ask for Mark’s crew!"

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

Flooded basement cleanup can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the extent of water damage, the type of water involved, and the need for repairs or mold remediation. Severe cases with structural damage or extensive mold may require longer timelines. Quick action and professional help can speed up the process and reduce overall damage.

Yes, basement insulation needs a vapor barrier due to its susceptibility to moisture seeping in from the outside of the house. You should install a moisture barrier before you install insulation or purchase insulation that comes prebuilt with a moisture barrier to avoid water damage in your insulation and costly mold and water remediation expenses. 

Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn’t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it’s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won’t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try repairing your brick wall instead.

Whether to waterproof your basement from the interior or exterior depends on several factors, including your budget.

Exterior waterproofing is generally considered the superior method because it stops water at the source, preventing it from seeping into and damaging your basement walls. This approach offers the most protection, making it ideal if you use your basement for storage.

By contrast, interior waterproofing is often less expensive and requires less labor because the area is more accessible.

For maximum protection against water leakage and moisture, applying waterproofing measures to both the inside and outside is the best solution. However, if you must choose only one, stopping water from the outside is the most effective approach to preserve your foundation and prevent damage.

Most houses will have vents in the crawl space. This allows for air passage and energy retention, which in many ways can help control the temperature inside the home. If you are able to consider the cost of a crawl space encapsulation, you may not need your crawl space vents at all.
