"I had Lux come out to do foundation work on our home, as well as exterior waterproofing. It was a large job, and as a first-time homeowner, I didn’t know what to expect. Miguel and his team were efficient and did a great job. They communicated very well, which I really appreciated, and the job was completed in about a week. They ran into a small snag during the work, but were able to locate the issue and fix it quickly. They were very flexible and understanding, even after the job when I had a few follow-up questions. I would definitely use them again!"

"They rep advised a lot to waterproof the crawlspace at a very large amount$$$$$ And made it sound as if the foundation was crumbling and in disrepair I had a contractor friend also look and came up with a better priced solution and would alleviate the water from even entering the crawlspace or walkout basement area That way I would not need the overkill of waterproofing the crawl but keeping the water from entering the area in the first place"

"One of the hardest workers. He is very honest, and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend. He saved us thousands from what another company wanted to charge for unnecessary work. Going on 4years since he finished his waterproofing and mold removal,we have had record rains and no leaks and no mold. Only dry basement on the block."

"Sadly our initial review has to be amended to FAIR due to the fact that our basement was not completely waterproofed by Ameri Dry. After explaining to our Ameri Dry representative that our basement was added after the home was built and several original outside walls were now "inside" walls, but we were told that these areas of our basement did not need to be waterproofed. We had 2 other written estimates and each estimate was for the entire perimeter of the basement. We asked the Ameri Dry representative several more times about waterproofing the remaining sections of basement and again and again we were told not to worry about having water in our basement ever again....

Unfortunately, we had water in our basement in the areas that were not waterproofed due to the fact that we trusted the expert company, Ameri Dry to come back to our home and complete the job how it should have been done in the first place and at no further charge to us. Why no charge to us - 1. We hired an expert company. 2. We asked more than several times about waterproofing the original walls. Ameri Dry is the expert, that's why they were hired.

After several calls back & forth as well as a home visit by an Ameri Dry representative, I was told by JC that for under $700.00 (I cannot remember the $600 odd dollar amount) Ameri Dry will come fix the basement problem which is about 8 feet of space that should be waterproofed to tie into the sump pump. I told JC that we should not have to pay additional money to fix a problem that should never occurred. After going back and forth on the phone with the issue at hand not resolved to my satisfaction, the conversation ended.

We did get 3 estimates, Ameri Dry was the most expensive (Ameri Dry did match B Dry's price) and choose Ameri Dry for the great initial communication. Our other 2 estimates (which were both less expensive) were for the entire perimeter of the basement.

In hindsight more expensive isn't better and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND B DRY FOR YOUR HOME WATERPROOFING NEEDS.

The Ameri Dry management was rated "C" but the employees are an "A" for their Quality, Responsiveness, Punctuality & Professionalism!"

"Expensive work, but Master Services is a pro. The sales rep, Sammy, was very easy to work with. Danny and his crew did a great job with installation. They were prompt in getting to the work site in the morning, and they actually finished a day earlier than expected. The crew did a excellent job of cleaning up when they were finished. I will definitely recommend Master Services."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

A walkout basement is considered to be partially below grade because at least one wall is entirely exposed. In some cases and in specific municipalities, inspectors and appraisers will still count walkout basements as below grade, which means the space can’t serve as living space or be rented out. If you intend on using the area as living space or a separate apartment, you should check with your local building department to make sure it’s legal to do so.

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.

A plastic vapor barrier should completely cover your basement to prevent water from penetrating through the walls. This typically goes before installing insulation to prevent moisture from building up and becoming trapped on the inside of your insulation, where it can collect and lead to mold damage. Installing insulation after the vapor barrier allows for any moisture to exit the walls for better ventilation.

Several factors can impact the cost of waterproofing your basement. Some of the most common cost factors include:

  • Location

  • Square footage

  • Cause of the water leak

  • Type of foundation

  • Accessibility

  • Waterproofing method

  • Materials

  • Contractor experience and availability

  • Engineering reports, if needed

  • Structural and other repairs

  • Permits

While "dry" mode on your AC can help reduce humidity levels to some extent, it may not be as effective as a dedicated dehumidifier, especially in areas with extremely high humidity or larger spaces. Dehumidifiers are specifically designed to remove moisture from the air more efficiently, making them a better choice for tackling persistent humidity issues.
