"Service Tech Brandon H cae for my yearly inspection of the wall braces and sump pump. Brandon was ever the orofessional as we reviewed my covered services and explained some other options for me to consider for the future. The braces were fine, the in checking the sump pump, we found it needed to be replaced. Brandon thoroughly explained the situation and replaced my sump pump in timely fashion. It was a pleasure meeting and engaging with him. "

"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."

"Mr. Corley quoted $865 to fix a dent and a bent seam in the metal roof over our porch that was allowing water to leak through. The amount also included adding a small piece of trimming (flashing) along the roof and tightening up a gutter running under the roof seam. About a month after I paid the deposit and signed the contract, two workmen came to my house unannounced to complete the repairs. It took them approximately 25 minutes to hammer out the dent and insert a couple of screws into the roof seam, slide the flashing into place and tighten some screws on the gutter. The worked looked sloppy but I would have paid the remainder of the bill had the roof not leaked just as badly as before the repairs during the next rainstorm. I emailed Corley's office and asked them to fix the problem, and submitted photos showing the poor quality of the repairs and evidence of the leaks. Five days later, the two workmen showed up unannounced at around 7:00 in the evening, but since I was not expecting them and we were in the middle of dinner, I asked them to return another time, but let me know when they were coming. I also emailed the company and asked that they give me a heads up, even a couple of hours, to let me know when the workmen would be arriving. They came back a few days later, this time I believe they called when they were on their way. Using a caulking gun, they applied several lines of silicone along the roof seam and prepared to leave. I told them that essentially placing glue along the seam was not an acceptable permanent solution. They agreed it was temporary fix and said they would tell their boss that the metal seam clip needed to be replaced. When I hadn’t heard anything after about a week, I emailed the company asking when the work would be completed. Mr. Corley emailed me back asking what needed to be done. I called him and explained that the silicone was temporary, and that after speaking to his workmen, it sounded like the seam clip needed to be replaced. He conceded that his company produced the clips and stated the work would be completed soon. I again asked that he give me a timeframe for when the workmen would show up so I could make sure I was home. About a week or two later, his workmen showed up unannounced while I was not at home, scraped most of the silicone off the seam and patched it with a 12 inch piece of metal seam clip. Their efforts fixed the leak but I was sorely disappointed with the quality of the work. I hired a metal roofing specialist thinking that the work would look professional and seamless, but it looks like something I could have done myself. Moreover, I think it was unconscionable to quote me $865 on a job they initially thought was going to take 25 minutes and involve nothing more than a couple of screws and a piece of flashing that sells at Home Depot for about $5."

"Had a great experience with Chris Kuper at Basement Detective! My basement flooded from non-stop storms and I needed a sump pump installed along with complete renovation of my basement. They were very competitive in pricing and outstanding in results. Chris even helped coordinate with the contractor doing my basement renovation after the sump was installed to make sure none of the drainage was disturbed by the new work being done. I have since weathered at least 3 large storms and can hear the sump working as needed. Very happy with the results!"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Indian Head, 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.
