Recent Basement Waterproofing Reviews in Olympia
- Semcoseattle/Home Tech Design & Supply IncKenji and team poured a new floor in our basement directly over a nightmarish mix of old tiles (some broken) on dirt and concrete. Six months later, the surface still looks good. When we needed a bit more material to manage changes in elevation, he communicated clearly about the options and change in price. Everything was done on time and professionally. Highly recommend
- Wu ConstructionGreg and his team were wonderful to work with from the start. It's going to improve our house and our life to stop having water in the basement everytime it rains. We can finish our basement and actually use the space now! Thanks for being so easy to work with and delivering a quality drain system.
- Crawl Space SolutionsDoug and his crew were very quick, professional, fair priced and did a fantastic job. Doug is great to work with. Would recommend him.
- Mimos Remodeling LLCAllan is a highly skilled, hard-working, smart, reliable and honest contractor who attends to details—and has a great sense of humor. He did most of the work himself but also hired and worked well with sub-contractors. He started with our garage, creating plans for a remodel with the help of an architect and then precisely implemented those plans. He went on to demolish our old kitchen (to the studs and sub-floor) and rebuild it, according to architectural blueprints. The job required reframing three windows, building walls, putting in a new fir floor, installing cabinetry and a very heavy but beautiful hood/vent, installing appliances, tiling and painting walls, window frames and a box-beam ceiling. A complicated part of the job was building a permanent buffet with rounded corners and tempered glass inserts which he did well. He also built walls and laid flooring in our laundry room. We feel so lucky to have found and worked with Allan, and we’re hoping to be able to work with him again on future projects
- Wu ConstructionIt went very well. Greg was a great guy. In the initial consultation we missed a wall that also needed a drain due to the crawl space, and his lovely crew came back and made it right. Greg was also always available to answer my many questions and made sure I was completely comfortable in the work. This is the first time I have had a dry basement as long as I have owned the house! I cant recommend highly enough
- Aquaguard WaterproofingHad seepage of water into finished basement causing moldy carpet and baseboard staining - we had a sump pump but it wasn't hooked up to any type of drainage system so it never got wet enough to pump water out! The salesman came out on a Sunday afternoon and did a thorough inspection of the property inside and out. He recommended that we install the system described above. They were able to give us a discount because we were Angie's List members. A few days later the project manager came out for an inspection and went over the whole process again, in detail. Two days later, the crew came out and got to work. They were professional, showed up on time (called one day when they were late due to a flat tire and subsequently stayed late to finish the work), they sealed the doors and furniture that we couldn't move upstairs with plastic. The process involves JACKHAMMERING around the interior perimeter and removing drywall from the base of the wall to install the system. They were able to avoid disturbing the bathroom and were able to get most of the needed drainage tile in place without having to rip out drywall (only ripped out 6 inches along one wall). They cleaned up completely after they were done to include hosing down our patio and leaving materials that were salvageable (baseboards and tile). They did not throw away the damaged carpet but we knew from the contract that they weren't obligated to do this so that was OK. They did ding up a few walls and in moving the utility sink out of the way cracked a seal but that is understandable given the type of work they were doing. We were going to have to repair drywall and repaint anyway. Overall we are thrilled with the process - and hopefully the outcome - it hasn't rained yet - if there is a problem, we have confidence that they will live up to their reputation and guarantee. For those that might be skeptical about such an extensive system, we already had our yard graded and our gutters inspected/cleaned. I would recommend Aqua Guard to anyone who has basement/house water problems. I had a neighbor who was satisfied with their work as well
- Wu ConstructionOur experience with Wu Construction was awesome. We had water coming into our basement, gave them a call, and from consultation through installation, they were one of the most courteous and professional contractors we've dealt with. Their work is quality, prices competitive, and communication was excellent. Would recommend them to anyone with water issues
- Wu ConstructionBetter than I could have asked for. They came up with a GREAT solution to my basement leaking issues (I had a river in my basement last winter) thus far this fall not a drop. His option was faster, cheaper and more effective than the other 3 companies i had bid the job. I could not be happier!
- Wu ConstructionThis was the absolute best experience with a contractor I have had in the seven years years of owning my my home here in Kenmore. Thomas was not only knowledgeable but conscious of what my choices were and was willing to offer fixes that were not the most expensive but the most effective. His crew was right on time worked diligently all day and cleaned up before they left. I only wish there business did more things I would hire them in a second. I would absolutely recommend this company. Thanks you !
- Wu ConstructionExcellent work, all around! The crew was hardworking, and the work performed has stood the test of time. Three years ago, Wu Construction expertly installed a full crawl space perimeter footing drain, brought in drainage gravel, and installed a 1/3 hp sump pump. Also installed a 6 mil black vapor barrier, checked and sealed alle entry points to prevent rodent entry, re-installed all loose inulation and replaced heat duct insulation. The crawl space has remained bone dry, and we've had no further issues with moisture or rodents

"French drain installation along a retaining wall (75 yards). Thomas who handled the sales end of things was friendly and responsive. The crew showed up on time. They were hard working and receptive of customer feedback. They first removed the ivy that was obstructing the work area and then completed the trench on day 1 which uncovered some of the unwelcome water sources. A legacy footing drain was plumbed directly into the main french drain pipe. Perpherated pipe was dropped in on Day 2 followed by river rock, catch basins, and 3 ft dry well installation. Cleanup was done thoroughly. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

"They were very clean. They did the job and they were quick. They did what they said they gonna do."
We are not a big company that you have to go through all the phone calls. Owner Andy Zhang will be the one to answer the phone, provide you the bid, and supervise and inspect the work before finish. We are so confident in our work, quality, and over all experience that we don't need any money down. Our customers don't pay us anything until the work is done and customer is happy! For a house on the market, in most cases, we allow owner pay the full bill through escrow at closing. We pride ours..
"Andy's team first helped us to trouble shoot the problem and got us to a level of understanding that we had a pretty major job to do but it would be done right. We ultimately received three bids and all of them had similar solution suggestions. What made us choose Andy was a) the price was better, b) he was very knowledgeable and c) he took an iterative approach. He knew that if we could avoid this much disruption in our home by doing something less major, we would. But after doing some test patches, ultimately it was clear that we had to do the full replacement. Andy was the most understanding of our desire to try to save the tiled bathroom. Luckily his team was able to navigate around it to tie into the sump pump which saved us the bathroom floor replacement. His team of two guys spent the week here and they were timely, friendly, communicative and did a great job. We feel confident in the work and would recommend Andy to anyone facing this major issue.

"This is a 12 year old home that has had a shower leak for a long time. A new type of sealer for the shower pan was used and didn't work. Being that water goes down, we didn't realize there was a problem. 12 years later we did! Insurance / Safeco was called and sent a claims manager to view damage. They didn't cover damage as it had been going on too long. Was given a list of folks to call. Their bids were all over the place. So I Checked on Angie's List. My wife started calling contractors and everyone was busy. We liked the reviews on Cascade Valley Construction, and so she called Thomas. To Busy! Well she kept calling him and offered to bake him a blackberry Pie. That was too much to resist and he came to our home. Thomas went under the house pulling insulation as he accessed the damage. It was bad. He took a video of the damage and we were shocked. All of the support beams and sills were rotten and that side of the house was sinking. Thomas asked a $1000.00 to start and tore into the Bathroom and part of the bedroom. We moved upstairs as the smell and black mold was bad. As I said He was very busy and took a month to get his crew in to repair damage. The out side wall had to be removed, the floor removed and sills and beams replaced. New flooring, Plywood treated, not OSB. second story had to be braced and leveled. New out side wall was built and siding put on. Belly board was something called white board and starting to rot. so Thomas used cement board as a replacement. Now the time had arrived to put inside walls up and a new shower. Thomas put the shower together correctly using a very thick shower pan and used cement board instead of plaster board that was used originally. He then put a red sealer on the floor and walls. Thomas smiled and said this time it won't leak, We now have a handicap accessible shower and a heated tile floor! Thomas was very good at explaining what he was doing step by step and his crew was great They were here to work when they said they would be and stuck with the job until our work was done We now know why He is so busy.

"What a great company this is. Doug and his crew were a pleasure to work with. Our crawlspace was a mess-it had layers of vapor barrier and old insulation that needed to be removed. They did a beautiful job and cleaned up every bit of the debris. He is honest about what needs to be done, and communicates with you throughout the whole process. Our crawlspace looks great! I highly recommend this business.
