"Waterproofing One was extremely professional throughout the process and the entire team worked extremely hard. My crawlspace is very large so the team put in a lot of time and effort to ensure there would be no issues for many years to come."

"The job/work couldn’t have went any better and smoother then it did, not to mention the cleanliness and customer service provided from beginning to end went above and beyond my expectations. Inside my basement they made sure objects and furniture were moved out of the way of the working area and covered for protection. They also made sure the walkways and paths used to remove debris out of the basement and new materiel into the basement were covered to prevent surfaces from getting dirty or damaged. Just overall a very thorough and diligent process from start to finish. I would highly recommended AJ Waterproofing and most certainly would rehire them for any future business if needed."

"Hired them for 3 projects I have installed this basement waterproofing solution in 2 homes. System speaks for itself. Nothing better on the market. Work was first rate. Expectations were presented prior to the project. Details on what would happen and how the project would go. Would not hesitate to use again ERV installed New basement egress. This project did not go as planned, but not at the fault of basement systems. Was originally supposed to get a BILCO door but due to unforseen issues, that was not able to happen. They ended up installing a new staircase from my basement to ground level. Work was first rate and ended up better than a bilco door. Company re landscaped and everything is as it was. All work performed was top notch and no issues on anything they have done"

"Make sure you get a quote from this company before signing with others. These guys are fantastic. This is the best company I have worked with to do work on my house and they are the gold standard for how work should be done. They were on time and early to do the work. They got it done fast (2 days to install the trench and drain, spray for mold, and vapor barrier basement). They used their own employees and didn't subcontract. They kept everything clean wiped the floor and walls with a bucket and made sure not a spec of mud was on the ground when they left (looks better than when they came). Their quality of work is excellent and you could feel the difference and see it in the basement before they left. Now let's talk about price. They beat the quotes or matched the price from other companies (some companies were new and more expensive for less and some have the same price but worse reviews). After seeing the work I wouldn't give my money to anyone else. Please check these guys out before going with anyone else."

Small jobs welcome

"Very impressed with the prompt response to my request to waterproof the basement. Patrick spent time to detail the French drain and sump pump project and explained what to expect. The crew arrive at 8 am and worked all day to about 5 pm. Very labor intensive, hauling out concrete, hauling in 5 gallon buckets of gravel & cement up & down the basement stairs. 32x22 French Drain perimeter and sump pump with battery backup installed in 1 day. The entire basement and outdoor area was cleaned after the work, even the driveway was washed down. About 4-5 guys showed up and Fernando was the foreman on the job. They worked very hard and were courteous. I had a debris pile that they were able to haul as well. It was not a cheap job, but there were no surprises. I was aware of the cost after the quote and with the amount of work involved, I am extremely satisfied. Thank you for your professionalism and expertise."

"They responded quickly and had someone out to inspect my basement quickly and at a convenient time. They inspected my basement and recommended an $8,000 treatment. Everything they said made sense and the materials and methods they specified seemed appropriate. That was more than I wanted to spend, so I decided to try a DIY fix first."

"Working with Just Dry Basements was best described as no-nonsense, fast, and high-quality. In a highly-charged emotional situation like a basement flooding - it is easy to just pick someone to do the work out of desperation. I was lucky enough to work with JDB, who not only rapidly assessed, made a plan together on how we would approach the job, and accommodated a difficult situation where the basement was mostly finished, and they had to carefully deconstruct some of the walls to put in the proper mitigation. A year plus later and a LOT of rain past, the work truly stands the test of time and whatever the elements can throw at it. I have since worked with JDB on other projects, and not just because of the quality of work, but also their fair pricing, friendly and predictable communication, as well as standing behind their work 100%."

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Philadelphia, PA

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.
