"Had difficulty nailing down date for crew to come out and install new sump pump & trench. Once we nailed it down, they arrived at said date of service and did the work quickly, efficiently, and professionally. However, they left a lot of dust and smeared mud on the floor of our basement. It took almost 4 hours to fully mop everything up and wipe everything down."
"With the recent snow melt and the rain we are having this may be a timely recommendation. I hope you don’t have this need, but if you do I would like to recommend Master Service Company. We had at least six estimates for waterproofing our basement and although not nearly the cheapest, we were impressed by the presentation and the personnel and low key sales approach. So, we hired them! The work was done last week and again we were impressed with the crew doing the work, the care given to hold down the dust created, the quality of the materials used, and the willingness of the crew to keep us apprised of the job as it progressed. The was great care given to cleanup of what is a very messy job. We waited until the repair had been “battle tested”, (and this inclement weather has certainly accomplished that) before writing a recommendation. We could not be more pleased at this point. Again I hope you don’t have the need, but if you do give Mr. Jeff Russell at Master Service a call. Contact: Jeff Russell 317-720-3288."
"I had basement waterproofing and Sump Pump System upgrade. David Smith and crew completed the work. I couldnâ t be more happy with the work. Itâ s the first time in many, many years Iâ ve had a piece of mind. The work was scheduled quickly and I couldnâ t believe how quickly it was completed. I did have some other things I needed help with and David Smith and crew were right here for me. I donâ t know how to act not having the water leaking in basement. I would highly recommend this team and company to anyone. Unlike JES Foundation, there is no big high pressure sales pitch. They give you time to decide. And the work completed so fast. My only regret is I didnâ t use them before when I had other foundation problems instead of JES Foundation. I have to give a shout out to Fred McGhee Foundation Specialist who came out to give me estimate and Christal Terrell Production Coordinator who has put up with me."
"immediately responded to request for estimate and completed work within 2 weeks. Basement is waterproof and I am very pleased. Downside, request for invoice remains unanswered after several attempts."
"He was very helpful. The issue with the vent was not that it was dirty but, the cent is too long. He came over and went under the house and in the basement to figure out the problem. He let us know we should cut an access panel in the deck to make sure the vent is clean and set up properly."
We take pride in handling the vast majority of work in house. The few items we may subcontract out are only to contractors we have used numerous times before and know perform at the highest standard. We are just beginning to dabble into financing.
Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts
In most cases, it is safe to live in a home with minor foundation problems, but you should not let the issues persist. Virtually all foundations have small cracks from normal settlement, which are not a structural concern but should be sealed to prevent water intrusion. However, major damage—such as large structural cracks, sinking foundations, or bulging walls—can make a home unsafe. Other issues that can pose safety and health risks include poor indoor air quality from mold or pests, uneven floors, and rotten beams or joists. It is always best to have a foundation repair expert or structural engineer inspect any issues to determine if your home is safe to live in.
Regular inspections, maintaining proper grading around the foundation, and keeping gutters clear are advisable. Vapor barriers and sealants may need checking for wear after several years.
Periodic inspections and addressing drainage issues prevent further damage.
Preventing future basement flooding often involves installing sump pumps, improving drainage, sealing foundation cracks, and maintaining gutters. Costs vary, but preventive measures can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars, depending on the solutions chosen. Investing in prevention can save you money on future flooded basement cleanup costs and repairs.
Since basements are prone to water and moisture issues and the resulting problems can be expensive to repair and potentially damaging to your home, basement waterproofing is almost always worthwhile. Even for homes that haven’t experienced water infiltration, waterproofing the basement is insurance against facing expensive repair bills in the future. All basements will leak at some point, so fixing drainage issues and taking steps to prevent moisture and water infiltration is wise.
