"<p>About 6 men did the work. They were very organized. They covered the path from the door to the basement where the inside work was done. They were polite, professional. The foreman kept us abreast of progress. He did took seriously questions that my wife and I had. He did not talk down to my wife. They moved and covered up everything in the basement with plastic. I had moved a lot of  stuff out ahead of time. They dug about a one foot wide trench along the inside  perimeter of the basement, installed drain pipe and re-cemented with several vents. The pipe runs to the new sump pump. They did repairs and drainage on the outside perimeter as well. Everything was hooked up to pre-existing storm drains. The work took three days. </p> <p>My only mild complaint is that the utility sink in the basement pitches slightly forward, and so it does not drain as completely as it should. I did not ask them to fix it.</p> <p>We had this done in response to water in the basement. We did not have a sump pump prior to this and had 9 inches of water in the basement last February. We have not had much rain, and so I cannot verify that all is OK, but it seems to be at this point.</p> <br />"
Another happy customer!
Clay drain tile removal.  FACT: With WNY being an older development in most areas, clay drain tile was used in the basements to lower the water table.  Over time, clay deteriorates which leaves you with cracked, broken and defective drain tile.  This leads to water backing up into your basement causing mold, mildew & damage to your foundation.

"The project: Frank&#39;s Basement Systems installed new drain tile around about 75% of my basement. They also added their BrightWall in a few areas. Pros: First of all, the project was completed, and I&#39;m very pleased to say that the drain tile seems to be doing it&#39;s job. When it rains I&#39;m not seeing any water in the formerly-problematic corner of the basement, so that&#39;s a big success. I&#39;ll add that our salesperson Ray was an absolute all-star to work with. He did not try to upsell us, and he stayed in communication after the job to make sure we were satisfied. He really made us feel like he wanted what was best for us and our home, and we tremendously appreciated that. Cons: The whole crew called out on the second day what was supposed to be a two-day job, so it ended up taking much longer than we hoped. That second day was a Friday, so we were stuck with the basement a mess over the weekend and into the next week, which was tough. The drain tile had to go under the stairs to the basement and those stairs were absolutely demolished and had to be replaced. They told me while they were on-site that it was going to be my responsibility to replace them which left me without the bottom three stairs to my basement for a couple of weeks, but ultimately they connected me with a contractor who put new stairs in for us. During the job they accidentally caused a leak in one of my steam pipes, but they also helped me find a company that would replace that as well. Lastly, they left the basement a dusty mess. In fact, we still have to wear specific shoes into the basement because even after vacuuming and mopping a few times, it is still so dusty, and that dust gets tracked to the rest of our house if we leave our &#34;basement shoes&#34; on and go anywhere else. Overall: Frank&#39;s gave us a good price and, again, we sincerely appreciated Ray&#39;s guidance before and after the job. The most important thing is that the drain tile is working, so despite a few challenges we are satisfied with the outcome. We will be calling Ray back in a couple of years when we need to do the rest of the basement...hopefully some of the dust will be gone by then!!"

"We were suffering from severe flooding everytime a big rainstorm hit and needed help big time. After Bob came out and gave us his estimate and plan of attack, I point blank asked him if he was sure his plan would fix it. He assured me it would. My wife and I had to think hard about spending that much money, but something about Bob told me I was dealing with a straight shooter. We had him do the work and haven't had any regrets ( or floods) since. For us, this was money well spent. <br />"

"I just had some foundation work done in my basement by Frank’s Basement Sysytems. It was a job I dreaded, both because of the expense and the less-than-glamourous nature of the work. A few months ago, I met with my sales rep, Mike, who was both professional and courteous. He explained the job to me thoroughly, answered all my questions and noted all my concerns on the contract. I had structural drawings done by an independent engineer. Fast forward to July. The crew arrived on time. They were neat in appearance and polite. They listened to all my questions (I asked a lot of them) and were already aware of some of my concerns due to Mike’s meticulous notations on the contract. They were here for 5 days. They always kept me informed of their progress and every day before leaving, they cleaned up the work area. There was no loud yelling, no loud music, no swearing and they were respectful of my property. Nothing like the roofers! Chuck, the foreman, was calm, confident and upbeat throughout the entire job. I immediately felt like I was in good hands. I’m sorry I don’t remember the names of the whole crew, but kudos to them all. To the owner: Please treat these guys good- they are the reason your business is successful. When the job was complete, I held final payment until my structural engineer returned to approve the work, with no pushback from Frank’s. Although I would rather be doing other things on my vacation, it was definitely one of the best experiences I have had with a large scope home improvement project. Now, on to the next one."

"I was very satisfied with the work done by Utech Basement Waterproofing. The team was professional, efficient, and left the area clean after completing the job. Hasan Razak followed up with me afterward, which I really appreciated. Their pricing was also much more reasonable compared to Frank&#39;s Basement Systems for the same scope of work. I would definitely recommend them."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Cheektowaga, NY

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.
