"Excellent all around experience!!!!!!!! After a series of storms and gradual water soaking our basement carpet several times, I finally called Waterproofing One in April, 2017 after seeing their ad several times on our St. Basil's church bulletin. I spoke initially with the owner-Joe who was helpful and he dispatched Dave Cook who came over within an hour. Dave Cook has been in this business and related utility engineering previously for over 30 years and really knows his stuff. Dave was extremely thorough, spending time in the basement, looking at some pictures I took of the damage and spent a considerable amount of time walking around the exterior of my property and reviewing the landscaping where most problems start. Dave wrote up a report of what work was needed including extending downspouts, recommending we have our contractor add a louvered door at the top of the steps for aeration (a great idea given no windows in basement) , waterproofing the well water closet walls, spraying impacted area for potential mold, and installing a new French drain and sump-pump system with battery backup. Gene and his crew then came over on May 17, 2018 and performed the construction and installation work and did a great job. Those guys worked extremely hard in what is inherently a muddy line of work and were very courteous, professional and left the basement very clean. Gene took extra time to show us exactly what they were doing as they drilled holes into the lower cinder block walls, laying of the perforated pipe and some of the damp mold on the wooded studs he extracted at the impacted area. We paid exactly what Dave originally quoted! Dave Cook came back checked on things and made some other recommendations including adding stones around the foundation outside and in holes to avoid soil erosion and soften the acceleration of rain water into the ground. Once the work was finished and our carpenter redid the walls and painting, We had subsequently refinished the basement with high end vapor/mold resistant padding from Mohawk and a quality polyester carpet. 15 months later and here we are on September 30, 2019 after 50+ rain storms since installation and NO WATER nor Mold issues in the basement!!! We are really enjoying our basement again thanks to WATERPROOFING ONE!!!! 5-STARS!!!!!!!!"

"Love this company and the work they do! They repaired a leaking crack in our basement. Work was done quickly and efficiently and we haven't had any issues since! Crew was great! They answered all our questions and gave us peace of mind. Definitely a company you can trust!! THANK YOU BASEMENT SYSTEMS USA!"

"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Basement Systems USA. After they installed our system, they came out for a follow up inspections and identified a way to improve up it, which they did for free! Mike and Tyler did a great job making sure our system was system was set up properly and took the time to thoroughly explain what they were doing and why. Highly recommend them!"

"This company impressed us from beginning to end! The estimate and finished price were far lower than other quotes, while the quality, speed & cleanliness of work was far superior to what others offered. They hung plastic sheeting & barriers surrounding the whole work area & used a ventilation system so there was never dust anywhere. ( Concrete dust is dangerous, not just messy!) The entire team ( 5 people 1st day, 3 on 2nd day) always removed shoes & treated our house & us with respect. They walked us through the steps of the job, showed us the work & the damage/ wet areas & the undamaged areas at several points as they were doing it (without being asked). Tested sump pump in our presence... without us asking. In addition to other source of water, they found a crack in the foundation & worked to examine the extent of damage.. which went all the way from outside in. They showed us the full damage, offered to fix this more completely, explained options to do or not do that work, but never pressured us. They provided life-of-structure warranty. They even told us they caused a tiny area of damage to woodwork on a window sill ( I would never have been upset about) when they were done THEY pointed it out and THEY spackled & fixed it ( like 5 min work.) The whole job took 1 and a half days. Like anyone, I was heartbroken to have started finding water in my finished basement & terrified of the cost & the process of fixing it. This company made this as affordable, convenient & low-stress as I can possibly imagine."

"Stone wall rebuild:
The crew disassembled the existing deteriorating stone wall which enclosed a Japanese maple and other plants.  They dug a trench beneath where the new wall would be installed and installed 6" of CR6. Perforated pipe was installed behind where each wall would be and it was filled with 6" of #57 stone.  The walls were then rebuilt with the addition of a pallet of matching Western Maryland stone.  The downspout drain was extended under the wall with SCH 40 pipe with a pop-up drain.  They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch inside of the stone wall which retained the Japanese maple and other plants and shrub. All of the wall is level and stable and looks great. I had gotten other estimates and they were all about the same, but I feel that no other contractor would have done as good a job.
Front walk replacement:
Removed concrete front walk which was deteriorating and hauled it away. Installed the proper multi-layer base and tamped it down.  Installed the pavers in a pleasing "I" pattern with a contrasting boarder. Replaced existing concrete step with wall block and caps that matches the pavers.  Installed polymeric sand, swept it in cracks and tamped it down. Reapplied sand, tamped it down and wet it down to activate it.  They diverted two drain spouts by the walkout in the rear of the house. They also extended an existing garden boundary, removing the grass by undercutting with shovels and moved the existing stone boundary around the new perimeter. They seeded and strawed all disturbed areas and installed mulch around the pavers. They did such a good job on the wall rebuild that I didn't even get estimates from other contractors for the walk.
Work crew:
All of the work crew on both jobs were polite and were hard workers. They were glad to answer any questions and explain what they were doing. They showed up on time and did an excellent job of cleaning up the work site when the job was completed.
Owner:
Kyle Hodges responded to phone calls and emails promptly and answered all questions. He stopped by periodically to monitor the jobs. I felt that he did more than he had to do make sure that I was satisfied with the work that was being done.

"Our foundation was seriously compromised due to water intrusion. Steve responded quickly and gave us an estimate at a great price. He was knowledgeable and informative. Dan and his team repaired our foundation, installed a drainage system and pump, as well as a vapor barrier. Our basement has been dry and free of mold since. The project was completed in a matter of days. I couldn’t believe how quickly they worked. I recommend the gurus to everyone who needs basement repairs. Thank you again!!!"

"The required fix required that outside trenching be done and B-Dry does not do this type of work. The representative was very knowledgeable about the problem and apologized for not being able to solve the issue. Very much appreciated his honesty."

"Brothers Waterproofing did an excellent job sealing a crack in my basement wall. John was very professional and knowledgeable, and that is why I chose Brothers Waterproofing over other contractors. Given I had to rip open my basement walls to fix the crack, I wanted to be sure I employed someone with a sound approach and lasting product so that I didn't have to rip open my walls again. And, John and his team did an exceptional job. They sealed both sides of my basement wall and used quality products to secure the wall to prevent leaking in the future. I would recommend Brothers Waterproofing to anyone seeking out an honest and trustworthy contractor who will stand by his product and promise (which you honestly don't find nowadays). A+ service!"

"I had a great experience with Guardian. The team was on time, hard working, polite, and left the house spotless. They repaired the drywall they needed to cut into and showed me all of the work as it progressed. The work also came with a lifetime guarantee. I would definitely recommend this company.
