1. 5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Basement   Waterproofing Contractors   Whether you are looking to repair an identified basement water problem or looking to   prevent one, choosing a Basement Finisher is an important decision. It’s your home- your   greatest investment. When choosing a waterproofing contractor, you need to protect your   home, your wallet and your peace of mind! So, where do you start? By keeping the following   key questions in mind, you can choose the right Basement waterproofing contractor and at   the same time, money, and frustration.        

2. 1. Is your company licensed & insured?   Sure this seems like a no-brainer, but this question is especially important when evaluating a   basement waterproofing company. The nature of the work of basement finishing companies   may require a local building permit. Additionally, a company that is bonded or carries liability   insurance can provide you with the protection you need should something go wrong with   your waterproofing job. If a company is not licensed, bonded or insured, move on to   evaluating another company – fast.   2. Are you trained in basement waterproofing contractors?   You would not hire a delivery man who does the occasional surgery on the side for your next   surgical procedure. So why consider somebody other than a waterproofing specialist for   your basement waterproofing contractors . Companies who specialize in basement finishing   & waterproofing should have extensive knowledge about various strategies to repair and   prevent basement water issues and should be able to provide you with a solution tailored to   your particular basement water problem.   Look for companies that are recognized and certified by professional basement   waterproofing associations. Certain associations, such as The National Association of   Waterproofing and Structural Repair Contractors (NAWSRC) and the Basement Health   Association require that companies demonstrate a certain level of professional knowledge   and proficiency, participate in continuing education and abide by a certain code of ethics.     3. Provide reputation status in community with references?   A company that will not provide references or speak about their reputation in the community   is a huge red flag. Take the time to do your homework. Consulting independent customer   reviews from sources that do not take advertising monies (i.e. Angie’s List) is a great way to   learn about other people’s experiences with a company. Independently confirm at least two   or three references from satisfied customers, both from recent projects and from projects   completed several years ago. Be sure that a company you are considering has a good   reputation in the community and has been serving the area for many years. The longevity of   a company is a direct reflection of the satisfaction of its customers.   4. Why your repair is best solution for my basement?   Beware of companies that offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Not all basement water   problems are the same and therefore there more than just one solution. Look for companies   that provide services to meet your particular needs. A qualified, professional basement   waterproofing company should be able to explain why their recommended solution is the  

3. best choice for your particular needs and should be able to discuss the applicability of other   waterproofing solutions you may be aware of. Take time to do your homework. Understand   the work that a waterproofing company is suggesting and make sure that it makes sense.   5. What type of guarantee do you provide with your work?   A reputable basement waterproofing contractors will provide a guarantee or warranty with   their work. Look for lifetime or long-term guarantees on work performed and materials   used. Make sure you understand the specifics of the warranty/guarantee provided. Do not   even consider hiring a waterproofing company that does not guarantee their work. When   checking references, be sure to ask former clients their experiences with the company’s   warranty/guarantee plan.   Choosing a company for your basement waterproofing project may seem like an   overwhelming task. Fortunately, by asking these key questions you can choose the right   contractor for your basement project. If you live in Ohio or the Pittsburgh, PA area your   search is now even easier.
