"Excellent all around experience!!!!!!!! After a series of storms and gradual water soaking our basement carpet several times, I finally called Waterproofing One in April, 2017 after seeing their ad several times on our St. Basil's church bulletin. I spoke initially with the owner-Joe who was helpful and he dispatched Dave Cook who came over within an hour. Dave Cook has been in this business and related utility engineering previously for over 30 years and really knows his stuff. Dave was extremely thorough, spending time in the basement, looking at some pictures I took of the damage and spent a considerable amount of time walking around the exterior of my property and reviewing the landscaping where most problems start. Dave wrote up a report of what work was needed including extending downspouts, recommending we have our contractor add a louvered door at the top of the steps for aeration (a great idea given no windows in basement) , waterproofing the well water closet walls, spraying impacted area for potential mold, and installing a new French drain and sump-pump system with battery backup. Gene and his crew then came over on May 17, 2018 and performed the construction and installation work and did a great job. Those guys worked extremely hard in what is inherently a muddy line of work and were very courteous, professional and left the basement very clean. Gene took extra time to show us exactly what they were doing as they drilled holes into the lower cinder block walls, laying of the perforated pipe and some of the damp mold on the wooded studs he extracted at the impacted area. We paid exactly what Dave originally quoted! Dave Cook came back checked on things and made some other recommendations including adding stones around the foundation outside and in holes to avoid soil erosion and soften the acceleration of rain water into the ground. Once the work was finished and our carpenter redid the walls and painting, We had subsequently refinished the basement with high end vapor/mold resistant padding from Mohawk and a quality polyester carpet. 15 months later and here we are on September 30, 2019 after 50+ rain storms since installation and NO WATER nor Mold issues in the basement!!! We are really enjoying our basement again thanks to WATERPROOFING ONE!!!! 5-STARS!!!!!!!!"

"This was a huge job. A complete basement waterproofing - new internal drains installed and two new sump pumps installed. The guys were great - came on time worked hard all day and cleaned up after themselves. The only negative was at the completion of work when it was time to pay the amount was less than what was originally quoted. I told the guy that and he insisted that it was what he had. I even showed him the quote on paper. I paid it - glad it was less, but a few days later got a call from the office telling me I needed to pay another $1600 (the difference between the original quoted price and at the time of service price) I told her what the guy told me and she got a little rude saying "well you knew what the quoted price was" - yeah I DID know and was prepared to pay but after install HER guy insisted it was the price he had. I wasn't trying to get out of paying but the confusion on how much it costs was with the people working there. I didn't appreciate her attitude as if I was trying to skimp out of paying. Nevertheless, I ended up with this additional payment. However, the work is supposed to be guaranteed for life. No complaints there."

"Completely Dry completed waterproofing of my basement and foundation repairs in September 2020. I also purchased a dehumidification system. This was a major expense and Iâ m glad I was able to get it done. My basement is finally a usable space. It looks and smells so much better. There is absolutely no sign of water inside. The sump is discharging into the yard perfectly. The unexpected outcome is a soggy yard. Who could imagine that so much water was coming in?! Completely Dry is now going to do a second job for me: install a dry well and run the sump discharge underground. Considering how satisfied I am with the first job, I have total confidence this work will be just as good."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Newark, DE

Yes, crawl space encapsulation is a good investment. It improves your home's energy efficiency and air quality, boosting its value. With routine inspections and maintenance, encapsulation provides a long-lasting solution to moisture and pest issues. Regular check-ups protect your investment, enhance energy efficiency, and maintain your home's structural integrity. If your home is prone to pests or moisture seepage, encapsulating your crawl space is definitely worth it.

A vapor barrier is a thin sheet of plastic that prevents moisture from seeping into your crawl space, while insulation prevents unconditioned air from entering. Combining both insulation and a vapor barrier creates a dry, temperature-stable environment. Some insulation products serve both purposes, enhancing energy efficiency and protecting against moisture and temperature fluctuations.
