"They are very good at what they do. We re-hired them after they did a job for us over last summer. There were differences on a this second job. If you use this company, I recommend: 1. Insist on a thorough, detailed contract that specifies ALL the details. Several things were forgotten, and later treated as ;added and as scope change. Could have been avoided with cleaner communication. 2. Specify in writing whether or not sub-contractors will be used for the job. During this second job, we had a couple of sub-contractors that were really, really bad. a. If sub-contractors are used, recommend specifying that a crew chief from Ideal be on site at ALL times. If needed, they should provide translation services. Our place was trashed when they left the site; sheet rock dust everywhere, floors to scrape, a hole in the wall to fix, lots of hard work ahead. They knocked off $2K. I would not do this amount for $2K. Bottom line, do not feel it was an fair solution. Learned a lesson."

"The team that was sent smelled of weed, first thing I noticed. The work was done quickly, so that was good, but they didn't get an in process inspection and instead sent over an inspector more than a month after the work was done. The dirt that was displaced is just all over my yard now, and I have a bunch of big holes where they didn't pack any dirt. The company offered to fill them but I never heard back after that offer. As part of the work, they dug around the chimney, and it appears they caused it to break. They claim no damage was done, but I'm finding many pieces of concrete and brick strewn over my yard."

"These guys were amazing from start to finish. The communication from beginning to end was exceptional. Joe arrived on the date agreed and was very punctual, He first explained very clearly the process that he was using and how effective it would be in preventing water from entering my basement through this crack in the foundation. He then proceeded with his work and did so quickly and efficiently leaving no mess behind. I am thoroughly impressed with A-1 and wholeheartedly and highly recommend their high quality services. Plus, with their 10 year warranty, you can rest comfortably. Without doubt, these guys are A1."

"Peter was totally professional from start to finish. He was immediately responsive to emails; provided a quote in the given time frame, was punctual in all interactions; and delivered the services in two days as promised. His pricing was fair and reasonable and work quality outstanding. He and his employees completed the work and left the premises in a clean state. I would use Maguire Masonry again personally and would recommend him to others."

"One word: Don't. They replaced the top 6' of our chimney about 7 years ago as well as parging and sealing all of our chimneys and the new chimney is literally falling apart in chunks, the joints are seeping water, and the parging is flaking off. Besides that, while these two jokers were here (and we weren't) our neighbor told us that they were arguing and throwing chunks of concrete at each other. We also found that rather than haul the old chimney pieces away they hid them in the brush beside our lawn. Also, forget about a warrantee. That is B.S."

"After meeting with multiple contractors, East Gate Hardscape was chosen as the contractor of choice for out patio/walkway project. Being budget sensitive i had concerns about the cost and viewed it as being "nice" to have but can we afford it ?? After talking with East Gate and their proposed price, that "nice" to have patio/walkway became reality. As the project ensued I was pleased as the homeowner to see the attention to detail and the care taken to get the job done right - seeing this I knew I made the right choice. We are very pleased with the final product and it didn't break the bank !!! East Gate comes "highly" recommended !!!"

FAQs for foundation, basement or crawlspace waterproofing / encapsulation projects in Portsmouth, NH

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.
