We had all 2,000 sq ft of our basement block sealed and could not be happier. John communicated diligently with us while we worked back and forth with home sellers in the middle of purchasing our home. We actually were also able to cancel another drain installation because of how well their product worked! They even refunded us our deposit. We recommend this company 100%.

They were wonderful. My basement flooded and I lost a lot of things like exercise equipment. All of my neighbors still have flooding issues and I haven't had any problems. I have referred them out to my neighbors. They have even called back to check with me on making sure my system is still working. It's nice to work with a company that is professional and gives you what they say they are.

I received four estimates and decided to take American Waterproofing for my basement. Could not have selected a better company. This was the best waterproofing company I ever hired. They were on time and went right to work getting the mold from the basement and fixing the basement pump. The job was excellent, Well done. <br /> <br />The guy's were very nice and polite. I will not hesitate to call this company (American Waterproofing) again. <br /> <br />They were also fair with their price of the job and it fit my budget. <br /> <br />Thanks Guys, Job well done <br />

After receiving approximately 5 estimates, I decided to use American Waterproofers. Their estimate was within my budget and reasonable. The estimator was friendly, courteous, and informative. On my scheduled date, the workers arrived promptly. My job took 2 days, and on both days, the workers were prompt. They were hard workers. The evening before completion, I noticed a large crack in my basement floor. I called the estimator, and he immediately arrived to examine the problem. The next day, the president of the company reassured me that this problem would be rectified without cost to me. That morning, when the workers arrived, the crack was fixed to my satisfaction. More importantly, since this project was completed, I have not had a drop of water in my basement. The floor has always as dry as a desert, and I love it. My only regret is that I had not called American Waterproofers years ago. <br />

Jack hammered trench thru cement all around interior of basement, laid tubing, weepboards and installed a 2nd sump pump and hole. Cemented over trench. Very good work, did not waste time, work is guaranteed. Just had to clean up dust which is expected after jack hammering. Only took a day and a half.

American Waterproofers were very professional and very prompt. They told us everything that was going on and the pricing was pretty much upfront.

It did not go as scheduled, and I blame the guy who sold the job for that. Told the story in the top portion of this report. I AM happy now not to have to panic every time it rains.

Job took 1 1/2 days to complete. Do cover everything in sight and put additional plastic walls up. Any carpeted stairs should be covered with a runner type plastic that adheres to carpet so no movement. Our basement was finished and no outside exit, so all concrete, stones, etc. had to be carried outside by bucketfuls using the front door. I advise not running the heating or cooling system while job in progress to prevent the fine dust from filtering thru the house. It does that enough anyway. Also leave your coverings on for a few days to let everything settle and run a dehumidifer to help dry the concrete.

Upon signing the contract I was told the work would be done in two weeks and would probably take a day and a half to two days. Amazingly, the work was started in exactly two weeks and, because enough men were utilized, was completed in just one day. The workers I delt with, Dan and Jason, were very courteous and explained all that needed to be done. When the work was completed they gave me their own contact phone numbers in case I have any problems or questions. The work creates a lot of dust and dirt. They did their best to block as much dust as possible by curtaining off areas with plastic. All of the dust was contained in the basement, but the basement will require some major cleaning by me once the new concrete has dried completely. I can't see how this could be avoided. I would recommend American Waterpproofers to anyone!
