"Everyone at USA Water Proofing was very friendly and professional. I was very pleased with the process. Jim and his crew worked as a team , finished 1 day early, and was very considerate. They protected everything with plastic, and cleaned up behind themselves. I’am very pleased with their work. I would highly recommend USA Water Proofing. Dan Drake "

"Had Betts Structural Engineering come and look at the foundation of a house we were in contract on. Josh came out and was professional and informative. He informed us the foundation was failing and explained what needed to be done. He throughly explained everything and told us how we could do it ourselves for much cheaper than a contractor could do it. In the end he saved us from a long and expensive process if we proceeded with the house."

Customers say: Super punctual

"I contacted JWS Contractors because of their good reviews. My opinion changed dramatically in November 2025 when Jack Siegal called me and said he could fit my $7800 foundation repair project in before a large project in Rocky River. I live in Westlake Ohio and had sent Jack a deposit in September for work to be done in Oct. My JWS contract says " we agree to repair, stabilize and underpin the foundation under the garage area on the north wall." "We will attempt to raise the foundation area that has settled....we must remove some wood trim pieces that was hiding the gap from the brick and wood structure..." I paid JWS $7800. The raising was never attempted. His crew dug a trench and poured cement into it. Westlake required an inspection. I asked the foreman when the inspection would be done. He said it was not needed and left with the crew. Later Westlake said It was required. JWS was very dishonest. People please question the credibility of their "good" reviews."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Cleveland, OH

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.
