"Called company on Monday and got an appointment for an inspection on Wednesday. That following Monday, the technician arrived and went through each step is sealing off the concrete foundation to the water leak. The fix worked well and was put to the test with the recent record rains. Not one drop of water came into the basement."

"We experienced water in our basement for the first time due to our sump pump failing. We went to Home Advisor and found AUS. They responded quickly late in the evening and a few hours later we had a new sump pump installed and water quickly began recede from our basement. Our tech was amazing and very professional. He left our home just before midnight and had more homes to do. We were very pleased with the quality and timeliness of the repair and would definitely recommend AUS again."

"Thrasher did a good job on the basement foundation and installation of new sump pump. A little pricey. Workers were prompt, courteous and cleaned up when done."

"We were pleased with the customer service, skill set and careful attention provided by Indiana Foundation during last week's waterproofing work on our basement. Josh Solomon and Noah Salisbury were diligent in their attention to our questions and concerns, going the extra mile to ensure a quality installation that met our needs. Our basement is already drier and we hope to build it out for a play/rec room soon."

"The system they installed prevents ground water to come up through the floors and redirect water to a main sump pump that they installed as well. We haven't had any water problems in our basement since installation of this system and they provide a lifetime warranty for your basement to stay dry, a warranty that is even transferable when the home is sold. The work was done in a total of two days by 3 or 4 people. The work was done satisfactory, the crew cleaned up after themselves and used cardboard on the floor to minimize dirt and dust from spreading when entering and leaving the home. People were great to work with, and received an informal in house estimate that was done very professionally. <br />"

"We had a good experience with them. He has been out a few times and the first time he came he had a bid to us within a week. The second time he came back out at our request and gave us another bid the same day. He is scheduled to start work in either September or October. He was very responsive to phone calls and called us back promptly. We asked him to come back and look at something else because we had a couple of other people in. He came back out right away. The guy was very nice, acted very professionally and was pretty good all the way around; we liked him. We decided to use him because we got the best value for service. We thought he would be able to fix the problem and it was a cost effective way to do it. They were very responsive."

"I feel bad because this was one of the best companies that I have ever dealt with. I think we had 3 different crews and they were all great. Here's my problem and it wouldn't cause me to not recommend them or use them again myself. From the time I signed the contract to the time the work was scheduled the salesman that I worked with either left or was terminated. When the crew got here they didn't seem to know what to do and asked me if I had planned to provide my own sump pump. One of them also told me that if I would just open the vents in my crawlspace it would dry out on it's own. This is against everything they recommend as I was sold on sealing the crawlspace and I'm glad I did. They have a system called and quot;Ice Guerdand quot; where they bury the discharge line from the pump and have a mechanism to keep it from freezing in the winter. The salesman showed me this and I was lead to believe I was getting it. The crew that came told me they would need another 350.00 to do that so instead I have a 12 foot pipe sticking out into my backyard. I expressed my disappointment on the exit survey and received a nice call from Bix telling me they would be back to install it no charge. Of course I was thrilled thinking this was above and beyond what most contractors would do. I was scheduled twice but had to be cancelled because of rain. I sent an e-mail a couple of months ago asking about it but did not receive a reply and I called a month ago and talked to a real nice lady who said someone would call to re-schedule. So far nothing. I'm a bit worried that If I have a warranty problem I'm going to get the same treatment. I even expressed interest in signing a service contract to have a yearly inspection but also did not receive a reply. Again, a good company that did a great job at a reasonable price. I just think maybe they have too much business to keep up with. <br />"

"One of the most impressive things about A-1 Masonry is their attention to detail on the brickwork.   They made sure that we had a good match for our 20 yr old house brick and recommended the waterproofing. <br /> But just as important is their customer communications.    They always returned our calls quickly and kept appointments on time. A couple years ago, we had some unpleasant experiences with another company that were horrible at communicating with us and getting work done when they said they would.  But A-1 Masonry was the complete opposite, and we were very impressed by their professionalism and timeliness.   <br /> The labor and materials estimate (in writing), and the time it would take to do the work, was spot on....No surprises.  The work was done in about a day, and they complimented their work by cleaning up the area and moving the landscape rock, that had been against the brick, back in place....Even better than it was before.   <br /> The owner, Mike, was friendly and professional.   This company was recommended to us by a friend who does masonry in another city, and the business that provided the materials had high recommendations for A-1 Masonry as well. <br /> We are extremely impressed by A-1 Masonry and would highly recommend them.   In fact we are having them do another project on our house.   Great job and extremely satisfied. <br /> <br /> <br />"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Cissna Park, IL

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.
