"I would recommend MD Waterproofing to everyone I know. I can't praise them enough. They were so professional and sensitive to my every need. They had a supervisor who was so knowledgeable about this labor sensitive job, and the workers were courteous and hard working. When the job was completed in two days, everything was put back in place and the basement was cleaner than when they started! I am so pleased I used this company!"

"I've had four previous foundation contractors come to the house who performed inspections of the foundation and all gave different answers. Howard Glancy with JES was the first to expertly use laser measurements and moisture readings to accurately diagnose the problem. His detailed explanations of the issues matched the readings and physical signs of the problems(cracked bricks, drywall, some mold, and bowing basement wall). He certainly gained my trust where the others did not and although extremely expensive, the costs did not seem unreasonable given the work that needed to be done to properly secure and waterproof my foundation and I signed the contract with JES. Hopefully the job will be as effective and professional as the inspection."

"This was a very good experience for me. Wayne Ski came out to my home immediately and answered all questions about both the large willow oak tree on my property (as it could affect my foundation if it had to be removed in the future) and the scope of my project. The first phase of the installation was installing a new, stamped concrete driveway. The second was the installation of the stone veneer around the house. These people had to work around a terrible weather situation because of the frequent rains and were totally patient with me during my follow-up calls. The project is so beautiful that many of my neighbors have complimented me on it; and a friend of mine, who is as particular as I am, actually used this company for her concrete needs and was satisfied as well. I would highly recommend them. Their field representatives and their office personnel are first-rate! I wish I knew how to download the photos of the project into this review; however, if you are interested in seeing the work, I can e-mail them !"

"The person who provided the estimate was punctual, polite & professional. BUT, we did not choose to work with B-Dry. Here's why...sales tactics, pressure, upselling, price. I did feel a little verbal pressure to commit immediately, (discount for agreeing by end of day of estimate) which was not our plan, we wanted to collect a few estimates & compare. As I compared I noticed a few things that I urge others to consider. They are definitely selling specific products, and using sales tactics. They have their own specially patented drainage "tubes". Its theirs & unique, but folks w engineering backgrounds might tell you what they think of a tube its flat on the bottom & hard plastic without perforation & how well that drains and what slime it could harbor. They only use one sump pump for all jobs which is extremely costly, though it is the most super top of the line pump, but it might not be necessary if your water damage us not extreme & if other aspects of the waterproofing job are done right. While their pump has a lifetime warranty, you could buy a new sump pump every 3 years (unlikely to be required) for a decade or more for the cost of theirs. Lastly and most bothersome was that while their estimate was very high, he looked around my basement & suggested that in the future I might need to do another specific area of wall that may be a concern, and provided me with an estimate of the bigger area if I want to, comparing it to the more urgent job, making it seem like the "cheaper" option. Later, 2 other professionals told me that same area did not suggest damage or need for future work. In the mail I was immediately sent glossy brochures for other systems & products from B-Dry & a sister company. In the end, for about half the price, and less damage to my house, I found an A-rated local company in business for decades with a life of structure warranty that worked more quickly & cleanly than offered by B-dry with quality, guaranteed materials."

"I am a Realtor that has been in the business for for over 15 years. I have used a lot of waterproofers. In my experience, there is a huge "sales" push that comes with waterproofing. I've (regularly) seen waterproofers try and "sell" $13,000 "solutions" to my Clients, for a problem that could be fixed with landscaping and gutters. Or I see companies start out great, but, then get so large that they have estimators (clearly on commission) who are kind of running a muck. Or even worse... the company was great, but, grew so large that they became a salable company. Then, once the company is sold/in new hands... good luck with that warranty!   <br /> Craig and his team are fantastic to work with. I used them in my own home. All About Waterproofing didn't try to sell me something I didn't need. In fact, he found a great way to reduce my cost and offer me a better solution.   <br /> His construction team lead was well spoken & easy to work with. Everyone on the job from start to finish was respectful & efficient. They gave me a truly transferable warranty. They did a great job, at a very fair price & were in and out within 48 hours. Hands down the best waterproofer I've ever worked with.  <br /> Hopefully I won't have to use another waterproofer in one of my own homes. But, if I do, I know I'll be calling All About Waterproofing. In my work as a Realtor though, I'll be recommending All About Waterproofing often and breathing a sigh of relief when I see their name attached to a waterproofing job on a home for sale! <br /> sPS-I got AAW's info from another friend that is in waterproofing. That's right, his competition recommended him for the job! <br />"

"Had a 5 foot long crack in my poured-concrete basement wall. It was not leaking, but I wanted to have it sealed regardless. Alek came on a Saturday, gave me his estimate, and then repaired the wall. He was very forthcoming by explaining that the repair was not absolutely necessary if there was no leakage, but I wanted it sealed anyway. He did a top rate job and I would not hesitate to use his services again."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in California, MD

The most affordable way to waterproof your basement is with interior methods like waterproof paint, costing between $1 and $8 per square foot, or silicate concrete sealers priced at $4 to $6 per square foot. However, these solutions are only suitable for certain issues. If your basement moisture is due to more serious problems like a cracked foundation, you'll need more extensive (and costly) repairs.

Absolutely! Waterproofing your basement is a smart investment that can increase your home's value. By keeping your basement dry and free of moisture problems, you protect your home's structural integrity and make it more appealing to potential buyers. Plus, taking proactive measures now can prevent costly water damage repairs down the line.

The time required to waterproof a basement depends on the selected method. Some approaches to interior waterproofing, like paint or sealant, can be completed within a day. Installing new drains or weeping tiles will need at least two to three days of labor. Any forms of exterior waterproofing that require you to excavate land will require an additional three days of work to prepare the ground.

Yes, basement waterproofing can significantly increase your home's value. A dry, leak-free basement is a strong selling point for potential buyers, enhancing your property's desirability and market price. Investing in professional waterproofing not only protects your home's structural integrity but also ensures a healthier living environment by preventing mold and mildew growth.

Waterproofing both the interior and exterior of your basement offers the best protection against moisture. Exterior waterproofing stops water from penetrating your foundation, while interior methods manage any moisture that does enter. If you must choose one, exterior waterproofing is generally more effective, as it prevents water from reaching your home's interior in the first place.
