"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"We had our basement waterproofed last year and were very happy. This year's project was adding two support beams. Again, we were very happy with the quality of the work and the people we dealt with. Both Gunnar and his team and Perfecto were skilled, efficient, and very professional. Highly recommend."

"I contacted Accurate Basement Repair after my basement decided to spring a leak this spring. If Iâ m going to be honest, itâ s happened before, but not to the extent that it did this year. Iâ ve held off calling anyone out of fear of how expensive basement repairs can be and I was expecting the worst. Accurate was recommended to me by my mother and by another friend of mine. I called to schedule an estimate and the woman I spoke with was great. A few days later, John came out to my house to inspect my basement. He walked around and looked at everything inside and out. John recommended to do a drain tile test because although I had water coming in thru some cracks in the wall, I was not getting any water in the sump crock. He explained the process to me so I knew exactly what to expect. If youâ re curious on how respectful Accurate will be to your property, John did not want to cut into the carpet in my basement, he wanted to roll it back so it wasnâ t damaged.... I cut the carpet myself. Afterwards he wouldâ ve tried to fix the carpet I cut if I hadnâ t told him not to bother. After the drain tile test was completed, John explained the results to me in such a way that I understood. While my basement may need corrective repairs in the future, John made several recommendations for outside work that he suggested that I try first. If those donâ t work, he said I should do the corrective interior work. It wouldâ ve been really easy for John and Accurate Basement Repair to sell me a completely new drain tile installation to correct the issues I was experiencing with my home and I would not have bat an eye at it. If youâ re looking for a repair company that is trustworthy and honest, you donâ t have to look any further than Accurate. If the exterior repairs donâ t do the trick at my house, I will not have anyone else but Accurate do the interior repairs."

Customers say: Quality work

"Very pleased with the prompt, friendly service. Very efficient and told me exactly what had to be done and what it would cost in advance. The old, limed up water heater had to be a bear to haul up and out of the basement. It gives me peace of mind knowing that the appliance was installed correctly by an experienced plummer and that it will last for many years to come."

"Jensen Plumbing is professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about their customers! As a new homeowner, I have had plenty of questions, and their entire team has been patient, responsive, and happy to explain things. They even took the time to show me how my new drain tile works and explain how they help prevent water from leaking into my basement. When I had a gas leak, they responded quickly and helped me get a gas shut-off valve installed that my home didn't originally have. They are currently helping me with a leaky shower and guiding me on options that will work with my existing plumbing. Their pricing is reasonable, and they make you feel like family. No question is too silly, and the staff are like talking to family friends. I highly recommend Jensen Plumbing for their expertise, outstanding customer service, and genuine care for their customers!"

"We have had major drainage issues in our back yard and the solution offered worked very well. He was also able to accommodate a last minute decision to add a low decorative brick wall along our back lot , creating a new fresh look for our back yard area. After a major July rainfall the system worked well. A job well done by Fabian and his co-workers. We had not checked out anyone else prior to calling Fabian based solely on the reviews from Home Advisor and the expertise required for our water problem."

Basement Waterproofing FAQs, answered by experts

There are several small, inexpensive upgrades you can make to upgrade your basement. Although you still need to adhere to building codes and obtain permits when necessary, you can complete small but mighty tasks like painting the masonry walls and installing entertainment devices to make the space more usable. 

Foundation repair uses methods such as underpinning, slab jacking, or application of hydraulic piers. Each technique is chosen based on structural needs, soil conditions, and damage extent, ensuring a stable and secure foundation.

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.

The difficulty of adding a basement to an existing house can vary depending on the house’s location, the size of the basement, and the type and condition of the existing foundation. Adding a basement is a job best handled by the pros, so you’ll need to enlist professional help for this project.

The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in. 

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500 and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
