HOW TO FIND A BASEMENT WATERPROOFING COMPANY IN SOUTH JERSEY

      WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A WATERPROOFING CONTRACTOR

It can be a difficult experience to determine which basement waterproofing contractor to use in South Jersey. South Jersey is a mix of home types, slopes, and weather conditions. This all affects how much basement and crawlspace waterproofing is needed. Affordability is also a concern, as is the necessity of finding a company with the years of experience and licensing needed to make the waterproofing last as long as possible. 

A diligent company will have several great reviews and be listed on sites that promote only the best basement and crawlspace waterproofing companies. Basement Gurus of South Jersey, is a local company that is established and committed to the finest in customer service. This company, with decades of experience and the licensing and training needed, services the South Jersey area with only the newest technologies available and continues the training of all its technicians. Your home being dry and safe is as important to them as if this were their own home. Good companies like Basement Gurus are sought by contractor listing sites such as Angie’s List, Craft Jack, Porch, and Thumbtack.

Award systems are in place on sites that cater to consumers, and only the “best of the best” make it to the top 4 percent that are even accepted on these sites. After consumers choose a company from such sites listed above, reviews on courtesy, promptness, and, of course, affordability are left, so this attests to the fact that many great companies are found this way. Basement Gurus is proud to be listed on all these sites and especially proud of their five-star Google reviews. 

Where do you find a good basement waterproofing company near me? 

While a good search of Google or visiting targeted sites, such as those listed above, can assist, there is nothing that compares to a reference from friends and neighbors in your vicinity. Waterproofing systems used for a basement or crawlspace “near me” are in tune with most of the neighboring homes as these would most likely share the same slope, drainage problems, foundation problems, or even flooding and continued dampness problems. 

Many homeowners in a similar area will also have finished basements, which, of course, need the utmost protection. Basement finishing is a proud endeavor, and your home deserves the finest protection against any water, dampness, or flooding once you have spent the money on finishing a basement. South Jersey does have its share of finished basements that are used for extra family rooms or even as rentals. A crawlspace itself that is leaky needs attention, as does the entire basement. Although most individuals do tend to ignore crawlspaces, homes become musty, and air quality diminishes when they become prone to mold and mildew through dampness. 

Waterproofing is Needed Before Basement Finishing Starts

“Jumping the gun” and plowing ahead with a finished basement before waterproofing is just playing “Russian Roulette” with your home value and, of course, the finished basement. If you are taking the time and money to renovate a basement or have already renovated one, all cracks and crevices need to be sealed, and outside foundational drainage issues need to be addressed. 

Dampness creeps in with only a bit of seepage. Crawlspaces are often overlooked as a source of problematic humidity and all types of fungus, mold, and mildew. Smelling “musty” is the first sign of a water seepage problem in either a basement or crawlspace. Buckled walls or floors, however, indicate a much more serious problem, so addressing possible problems through a free evaluation by Basement Gurus should be done regularly. The evaluations are free, and if any problems are found, financing options exist for most types of budgets. Basement Gurus will never push unnecessary services on homeowners and has been an honest company servicing South Jersey for three decades.
