"The repairs cost $820. I was dismayed that the repair cost was this high for a piece of equipment that was only 3 years old, and had been maintained as per recommendations. "They typically last much longer" I was told by the company, but there was no reduction in the price for the repairs. I found that the company was frequently slow to respond to phone calls, and the estimated repair time of 3-4 weeks took almost 3 months."

"Quote process was fast and easy. Scheduled and completed job within about three weeks. Our basement took on water whenever it rained and there was always standing water underneath bulkhead stairs. The crew added sump pump and repaired foundation to minimize water. While the basement is not 100% dry, it is about 95% drier than it was and there is no longer standing water in bulkhead.  <br /> We were taking a bucket a water a day (or more) from de-humidifier and that has gone down by at least half, even in very muggy weather. <br /> The crew was several hours late. Still able to get most of work done in 8 hours, with an hour follow-up the next day. <br />"

"He had come to give me an estimate for doing my bathroom downstairs. I did not use him because I had hired a contractor to put an addition in my house, to do the roof and my two bathrooms. It was $7000 to do one bathroom which included putting sheet rock in, painting and putting a floor. It did not include the fixtures like the shower, vanity or the counter top as they were extra. They were very pleasant. I know Tim Spain and he is the president of that company and he is a contractor and a roofer. About 15 years ago he did the roof for me and I was very pleased with it. They ripped up all the shingles and put a new one. He put circles in my sockets to vent my house and put vent thing on top of the roof. The only reason I didn't use him for handy man is the contractor that I hired here was more reasonable to do the bathrooms. Tim Spain does good work. He used to do roofing and siding at that time and now he builds houses, the whole package. At that time he charged $3700 to do the roof. He is very reliable and does what he says. He told me what he was going to do and he did it. He cleaned up very well after himself. He picked up shingles and ripped off the roof. He had a nice crew working for him and they were pleasant to work with. He himself is personable and at that time he worked with the crew. He picked up brown color to match the shutters and it was stunning. I would recommend him. At that time the price was reasonable. He is a nice guy and very pleasant. I was very happy."

"They are honest about things that needed to be done, that he could or could not do. He has a lot going on and so he has to work on bigger project first but that is common. Sometimes if he do not have a big job you cannot really expect to get quick service, that kind of goes for a lot of people. I would use his services again in the future, as eventually it’s the right thing."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Scarborough, ME

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.
