Choosing a Local Waterproofing Expert for Your Basement

Wet basements are not fun! Flooded basements are a homeowner’s nightmare. If you are suffering from constant worry about the health and safety of your basement, it’s time for a change. If you’ve tried DIY efforts to fix pooling water, cracks in your foundation, leaky basement windows, or high humidity, it’s time to find an experienced, professional waterproofer you can trust. A wet basement wastes valuable living space, damages building materials and stored possessions, pollutes the indoor air, risks the health of those living in the home, and puts your investment in your home at risk. That adds up to considerable risk.

Look for expertise, training, and experience

When you choose a Basement Systems contractor, you're getting a local company trained in and committed to the best waterproofing practices. Each contractor listed here is an expert in the diagnosis of sub-grade moisture problems as well as the design and installation of proper drainage, moisture and humidity control, and basement materials. Say good-bye to your wet basement with the best basement waterproofing in your neighborhood!

Why Do Basements in Maine Get Wet?

Flooded basement: Once your basement gets flooded, you want to understand why, in addition to getting it fixed. Severe basement flooding in Maine can be caused by heavy spring rains, summer thunderstorms, and flash floods.

Other reasons for wet basements: There are many possible sources for pooling water, damp basement walls or flooring, and high humidity. These include: rusty basement windows, poor grading around the foundation, leaks through cracks in the foundation, saturated soils, simple plumbing failures, and poorly functioning drainage or sump pump systems. A basement already musty and damp is ill-prepared for the next bad rainstorm! Basement waterproofing can address the underlying issues, prevent future water damage and improve the indoor air quality.

I wanted to let you know how happy I am with the job done on my basement. The whole procedure was with almost no stress, and Sam explained everything to me until I'd understand, even when it meant me bugging him with text questions. He never got impatient! Everyone was friendly and professional, and always ready to answer any questions as they worked. I am very happy with how it turned out, and when we had the big rain storm last weekend, I went down cellar and not a drop was leaking! But I could hear water in the drainage pipes, so knew there would be no water on my floor! It made me smile! You are a very good company to work with, and I would recommend you to anyone. I also appreciated the fact that everyone there is a good communicator, always getting right back to me if I called, and passing on the information if needed. I hope you all have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, and thanks again for such a wonderful job. I really do think Sam deserves a bonus, if you knew how often I bugged him with questions!! Thanks very much

I cannot tell you adequately how pleased I was (am) to deal with your company. Dealing with house maintenance is all new to me, very frightening, and definitely not my area of expertise. Everyone was a pleasure to deal with - from the always helpful, friendly, and kind office staff who initially answered my panicked phone call, to Mike the wonderful salesman, and even the crew who did the work fixing my foundation. Most companies do not realize how important it is to have excellent customer service skills in their employees. That is what people remember, and keeps them returning. All of you turned a frightening, disasterous situation for me into one that I realize could have been a lot worse. Thank you for being there when my need was great, and please keep up the excellent work!

Very professional and personable. From the start, Mike was great to talk to when he was giving his estimate. I expected a new foundation wall, seeing it was old deteriorated brick. He said they could build a support wall inside with a warranty. I got my estimate within hours and felt that was reasonable. When they came over the crew did a quick and excellent job setting up. The day they poured my 4 year old grandson got to watch the mixer pour and the tender explained everything to him. After they removed the forms and cleaned up it looked terrific.

The cement foundation of our basement bulk head entrance is taking on water (which then leaks into our finished basement).

There is one corner - where the wall of the bulkhead foundation meets the wall of the house foundation, that is especially leaky.

Project Location in Farmington

We are fighting with a leaking basement-- I estimate up to a couple inches of water...maybe more in some locations. We do have a sump-pump which operates adequately, but cannot reach all of the water down there due to differences in the basement floor plane. We also have learned that our sump hole is not as deep as it should be. As a result, our pump can't turn itself on and off as needed because the float wont float. We would like to stop the water entirely from entering the basement permanently. Right now we are just looking at options that may be available to us and the costs that we should expect to solve our problem.

Project Location in Belgrade

Have 200+ year old house. Basement (unfinished/concrete floor) has been very dry until this last rain when I believe water came in through bulk head doors and flooded on side of basement. I have an old drain but it does not seem to help with this situation. Also need some old foundation lyme repair on walls (minor now) where there are a few leaks appearing in the old granite foundation stone and brick overlay.

Basement gets water and very damp. There is already a sump pump which does keep the water from underground coming into the basement and a dehumidifier that runs constantly, but there is still a lot of condensation/water on the basement floor.

I am in a new house which has a sump pump, but it is open and want to see if it should have a better set up. Would like to hear about the backup option, too. Also, there is still water in areas of the basement with each heavy rain so would like to see what options there are to eliminate this issue. I would like to be able to utilize the basement for storage, a washer and dryer, etc. Thanks!
