"Northern basements was able to fit us in quickly, pulled our crooked cement wall back in-place and sealed the wall to prevent future leaks.  The work was timely, communication was friendly and detailed, and price was as to be expected for the large amount of work that needed to be done.  We are very pleased with the whole process as well as the results.

"We have had an intermittant water problem in our basement primarily when it rains heavily in the Winter.
I was very happy with the quick response from Mike Sears when we initially called to ask about repairing a water leak problem in our basement.  Mike explained how his proposed solution would work to alleviate the water problem. 
Mike left us with a detailed estimate and informational materials about the proposed repair.  He also explained what wasn't included in the job such as tearing out the current sheetrock, insulation and framing from the wall.  I did  this part of the work and the reconstruction after the drain had been installed.
We spoke to Mike a few days later, agreed to the price and set a date for the repair.
On the scheduled date, two of Mikes employees arrived on time and began to prep for the repair.  They did a good job of hanging plastic sheeting around their work area so that the dirt and dust would not get into the rest of the basement.
We had discovered a crack in the basement wall which wasn't visible when the original estimate was given.  Scott Lee gave  us a written estimate to repair it with carbon-fiber cloth and sealant.  While this was an unexpected expense, there was no reason to put in a drain and leave a crack in the wall.
Taking out a basement floor with a jackhammer and installing a drain is a hard, dirty job.  Scott and his co-worker completed this job in about 6 1/2 hours including the additional work for the wall crack.
They did a good job of cleaning up the old concrete and all working materials 
Scott explained how the pump would work when the water table under the house rose.  
My only issue with quality was the uneven concrete finish work on the basement floor above the drain.  Because this was leveled by hand, there is a somewhat noticeable depression in this area of the floor.
Overall, I am happy with the work and looking forward to a dry basement when the rains come this spring.

"I hired Twin State Basement Services to install perimeter drains in my basement after experiencing a water problem caused by hydraulic pressure under the floor. From the time I placed the phone call to the completion of the job it was clear to me that I was in excellent hands. I promptly received a call back within 24 hrs of it being placed. In all phases of the job from the size up and quote to the the completion of the job their work was beyond reproach. Refik and his crew were timely, efficient, courteous and professional. What impressed me the most was Refik's attention to detail and his personal commitment to "doing the job right". Nobody likes to have a water problem in their home but doing business with Twin State Basement Services made it much more palatable. This company was a great find for me. Highly recommend."

"Green Mountain Basement solutions were great about stopping the leaks in my basement by installing drains and a subpump and so far no leaking to report but they left a huge mess behind them and damage done to my walls and the new concrete covering that they put over the drains was done sloppy and uneven. If it were my company I would have taken the time to clean behind me and I would have left the home the way it was when I entered as much as possible. They were in a rush to move to the next job so the quality of their work was lacking. I felt like it was a rush job."

Basement Waterproofing questions, answered by experts

You should plan on waiting at least a year and ideally two to three years after construction before finishing your basement. This will give the foundation time to settle in response to the weight of your home and the expansion of the surrounding soil. You can then repair your foundation and seal any cracks as needed before finishing it to reduce your risk of future leaks or other issues.

Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.

Water damage always poses a primary risk of mold and mildew, but growth is not guaranteed. Whether mold develops depends on several factors, including the severity of the water damage and how quickly the area is addressed. To prevent mold, you must act fast—ideally within the first 24 hours. The process involves cleaning up all standing water and thoroughly drying the affected area. If the damage is extensive, the cleanup was delayed, or you suspect mold might be present, it is safest to assume it has grown and contact a professional mold inspector or removal expert to assess the situation.

Egress windows or doors are required in finished basements to meet safety and building codes. If your basement is unfinished and used as a storage space, egress windows are not required, but anything considered a habitable space must have an additional point of egress in addition to the stairs.

The process might take a few days to a week, depending on the method chosen, area size, and weather conditions. Some solutions, like simple interior sealants, may require less time.
