"USA Waterproofing & Foundation Services did an Outstanding job on our basement!! The manager Mark was extremely professional and personable and coordinated the job with our schedule in a timely fashion. Mark sent out a qualified individual (John) to ascertain our dilemma and make the appropriate recommendation to correct the problem. The men that came to actually do the job were Awesome, they worked efficiently and did exactly what was requested in not only a timely fashion but in a proficient manner and went out of their way to come prepared and answered any additional questions we had at the time of the project. I would without reservation Highly Recommend USA Waterproofing, you will not be disappointed!! Additionally, we did quotes with three other companies and USA Waterproofing and Foundation Services had the best pricing and again, their quality of work was Excellent!! I would definitely use this company for any additional work needed at our house in the future."

"I had a pretty bad flood in my basement after the heavy storms that came through back in June. I realized that my sump pump was the reason so I needed to replace it. I wanted something with more horsepower and after doing some research, I decided an ejector pump would work best for my home. Tyler was very friendly and understanding of my situation. He told me about some options, gave me the literature and a fair price for what I wanted. He and his team were very professional and attentive and definitely knowledgeable about the equipment and installation process. I was a little apprehensive about going with a company that’s just starting out, but Tyler gave me a good feeling about their company and products. I’m very happy with the installation and the service I received. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact them again (although I hope I never have to) for any future needs. We have multiple rental properties, so I would call him first if I ever need service at any of them. A+++"

"America's Basement team was great to work with. Chad (the Foreman) on our my basement project was very helpful in going through his plan prior to starting and also gave me updates throughout the day. Chad and his crew was able to complete the project efficiently and was able to complete the job in under a day. They also did a great job with answering any questions I had. Overall I was 100% pleased with the service and now I trust that my basement will no longer leak. I highly recommend America's Basement Contractor for any waterproofing needs."

"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."

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