The plumber came out the following Monday and within an hour my basement was drying up. It is now as dry as it has ever been . Thanks to Blair's honesty, years of experience and good advice he saved me thousands of dollars. His company will get my recommendation for anyone looking for help with water issues involving their basement or foundation.
Description of Work: Blair Smith was quick to call me back after I had spoken to Kelly at their main number. Blair asked me several questions about my basement water issues and then discussed potential costs. He suggested I have a plumber check my storm drains for obstructions before we discuss the need for his waterproofing services. He recommended a couple of plumbers that could do what I needed and suggested I get that done first and then to get back with him.

Smith's Waterproofing was very helpful in explaining the process and outlining all options to fill a crack that was in the poured concrete basement wall. They showed up on-time and cleaned up once they finished. In comparing prices, Smith's was cheaper. I would do business with them again.
Description of Work: Polyurethane injection into a basement wall crack.

Great. they did a great job for me. They injected sealant into basement wall cracks (2) and on a possible third they have marked it to watch exactly where leak is - near a corner - one wall or other. I will call them when I can note where it is coming from. Plumber quoted me $500 per crack. Getting professional waterproofing company at better rate is something I am so happy to have done.

Description of Work: Smith's was the third contractor I've had out to look at water issues in my basement. They were recommended highly to me by another contractor as a family business who has been around for some time. After having a horrible experience with another waterproofing company that wanted $16,000, then $6,600 for reduced work....Smith's came out and helped me see the real problem, and said it was only a $500 fix. Since it hasn't rained in some time now, he let me run a garden hose while he visited some other properties. He said to simply call the office once I saw water coming in, and then shut it off. He was back out within 10 minutes to help me see what was really happening. I have not moved forward yet, but that is only because I'm in the course of moving out of state. Once I have the money and my new job has started, I will be hiring them to perform the work.

Smiths came to our home about three weeks before the work was done and did an evaluation and gave us an estimate. There was no high pressure sales pitch. I had gotten other estimates including someone who wanted to do a $40,000 repair! Smith's estimate was not the cheapest but their process seemed better and more solid than any other wall repair we looked at. We moved everything away from the walls prior to the workers arriving. The workers were on time and very professional. They explained everything they were doing. They brought in two crews instead of one so the work was completed in one day instead of the original estimate of two days. Their clean up at the end of the day was very thorough. There were no problems at all during the prcess. They applied their process to three of four basement walls covering a length of about 110 feet. The cost was exactly as estimated and there were no suprises. After repainting the walls look great! It is not obvious at first glance that work was done on them. It has been six months since the work was done and I see no signs of any cracking or shifting on the walls. The works comes with a 25 year guarantee. I highly recommend them.
Description of Work: Smith's applied a carbon fiber strips to bowing and cracked basement walls and then sealed the fiber and all cracks with a resin. They also puncture bottomw rows of concrete block, drove metal rods down though the block into the ground and filled the block with concrete to create a solid base for the walls. This was performed on three of four basement walls.

They are excellent and are going to make sure it works before they bill me. I have used them before and they are very honest with good prices. I just referred them to a friend of mine and she has been very happy with them. I will use them again in the future.
Description of Work: I used Smith's Waterproofing to inject a window in my basement that I have been trying to get fixed for years and it looks like it is working after four rains.

It was a pleasure dealing with them. They were the last of six firms I contacted for estimates to fix the water seepage problem. They were out within a couple of days of my call to do the estimate, and their explanation of what they would do, and the materials they would use was excellent. They were able to schedule the work within two weeks, and the whole job took two days.They were very professional. Closed off the area in the basement where they were working, and used fans to remove dust to the outside. As they were tearing out the old system, Blair was able to show me and explain why the old system wasn't working. He pointed out material that were used that were wrong for the job, and aspects of the previous work that were poorly done. All of the people who participated were very professional and seemed to take pride in the work they were doing. I was really happy with the way their concrete people finished the floor. It is very smooth and even with the existing floor. I would not hesitate to use them again if needed and would recommend their services to anyone.
Description of Work: They removed an interior french drain system that had been installed by another contractor and was not working. The basement was still leaking. They dug out the old concrete, the old black knife slit drainage pipe, which was blocked. The also removed the old P gravel that the other contractor had used.. They leveled the trench, installed new 6A stone which permits faster water flow, and installed new white PVC drainage pipe which they modified by increasing the number of holes in the pipe to permit faster and a greater volume of water flow. They also suggested, and I accepted the installation of a second sump crock beside the existing one, and connected it in parallel with the old one. This allowed me to install a sump pump in eack crock which allows for significantly more water removal. plus provides a backup should there every be a problem with one of the pumps. They covered the whole area with new concrete, and provided three access points into the system for clean out and maintenance in the future if needed. They also sealed two cracks in the wall with high pressure injection of urethane foam.

I was very impressed by all of the workers on the site. Each seemed to take great pride in their work and wanted to make sure I was aware of what they were doing as the job progressed and that I was satisfied with the work. They excavated the area around the basement, applied waterproofing and returned the site to better condition then when they found it. They returned to do additional work when runoff from another area caused additional leaking. They caulked all of the windows and doors and tuck pointed areas of my home where water could enter although it would not directly affect the basement. Mr. Smith was very responsive to all questions and provided lots of information about the work and general waterproofing. I highly recommend his company and would not hesitate to use them again. Update 6/3/11: The rainy season resulted in a return of the leaking problem from last year. Smith's has returned to inject additional waterproofing to resolve the problem however the leak is still present after a hard rain. Smith's has honored their contract and have stated they will continue to troubleshoot until the leak is resolved.
Description of Work: Waterproofed basement, caulked and tuck pointed all windows and doors.

They have been in business for around 40 years. The person who came out was extremely professional and told us about the work that he had done in other places. He also asked us to call them and use them as his references and I got good recommendations about him.
