"Fast Estimate , had many estimates from other companies and Waterproofing One was the best price for Us , Joe was very confident and knowledgeable and gave Us good suggestions for our leaking basement, the crew that installed the French drain inside were great, install looks very professional. I figured we’d have a mess to clean up after the install understandably. But wow they did an incredible job cleaning up afterwards. Not a speck, they even spent time cleaning off the driveway and front lawn. We have been through one major rain storm since the install and not a drip of water. So far so good , we are getting an expected 3” in the next 24 hours and it’s a relief to know I don’t have to stress about rain storms anymore!"

"I was having some issues with water coming into the basement through the foundation and walls during rainy weather. Not flooding, or even shop vac-able volumes, just enough to be annoying and require mopping. Dominic and his crew were here today to install an under-floor drainage system and a new sump pump. I was dreading the demo (I have a concrete floor) and the mess involved, but these guys came prepared for everything! They used dust abatement measures to protect all my basement-stored items, and they removed and hauled all the debris away when finished with the excavation. What really impressed me was the concrete restoration upon completion. I've previously had a sewer line replaced through the basement floor, and the contractor really "botched" the floor repair. I can't describe how different this experience was! The concrete installed today is immaculate! Dominic takes pride in his work and with good reason! The new concrete is perfect! I am thrilled!"

"We were very happy that First Class was able to set us up for maintenance on a Saturday without charging an emergency fee, as this is our secondary home and we do not live there full time. Buddy, the technician that provided our first service, was extremely competent and professional. The heat pump is over 20 years old, and he was able to replace the contactor, and keep our system running ($320). We were back for a 4 day weekend in February and all was well. On March 9th, we had no heat at all, and called for emergency service ($76). First Class showed up promptly in less than one hour. The heat pump needed a new blower and capacitor, which had to be ordered. We returned to our primary home (and heat), and arranged for a friend to assist First Class with access to our home later in the week. They came back and replaced the blower and capacitor ($687).



Maybe our system was just too old to fix. We leave our thermostat at 52 degrees while we are not there. Our electric bill from the period March 15-April 15 was exorbitantly high, over 4X the cost of the same month last year. We only spent 2 days in the house during that time frame. While we didn't really understand the problem at this point, we knew that there was one.



Because we had a maintenance agreement with First Class, our AC tune-up was already paid for. We saw Buddy again on May 20th. That is when we learned that all the Freon was gone from our system. Our AC worked great the previous summer, and now we were faced with an extremely costly repair, or the expense of replacing the system completely. We do not know what caused the leak in our system, if it was the age of the unit or the repairs that were done.



We ended up getting 6 estimates from 3 different HVAC companies before replacing the heat pump/AC. Andy from First Class was very careful and thoughtful in preparing our estimate. While First Class provided the lowest cost estimate, we ultimately chose a different company to install our new system.

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Bear, DE

Yes, crawl space encapsulation is a good investment. It improves your home's energy efficiency and air quality, boosting its value. With routine inspections and maintenance, encapsulation provides a long-lasting solution to moisture and pest issues. Regular check-ups protect your investment, enhance energy efficiency, and maintain your home's structural integrity. If your home is prone to pests or moisture seepage, encapsulating your crawl space is definitely worth it.

A vapor barrier is a thin sheet of plastic that prevents moisture from seeping into your crawl space, while insulation prevents unconditioned air from entering. Combining both insulation and a vapor barrier creates a dry, temperature-stable environment. Some insulation products serve both purposes, enhancing energy efficiency and protecting against moisture and temperature fluctuations.
