RC Waterproofing

Description of Work: Basement Waterproofing

Description of Work: The fieldstone foundation in my 1889 home was crumbling because of mortar deterioration. It needed repair in several areas, inside and out.

Description of Work: Installed interior basement drainage system, new sump well and pumps. Prompt, courteous, fast, complete. Very trustworthy.

Description of Work: I reached out to RC to get a quote for my mothers leaky basement. However when Justin came out, he recommended and performed an adjustment to the sump pump, instead of a pricey demolition. He was very upfront in telling us that he always recommends the simple, economical solution, first, before jumping to the most expensive options. We did find that we needed further solutions for the water in the basement, and we were provided with a very reasonable quote. We are in the process now of scheduling a date for service.

Description of Work: The guy who visited first came to my house showed up on time after I called and set up and appointement. He introduced himself and told me a little bit about the company. I was very impressed that they had been in business for so long and they were family owned. I was a little leery because you hear that a lot from companies but he went on to explain how they got started and that they actually do WATERPROOFING, like actuall stop water. Other estimates I got only wanted to drain the water and had no way of waterproofing the walls, which was most of my problems (poured walls with water seeping in). The estimator, named Mike, walked me through the basement and asked me questions about the history of the basement, when it leaked, how long, etc. He asked what I wanted to accomplish with the basement and I laughed and said, "I want it dry!" he laughed too and explained that what he meant was if I had plans to finish the basement in the future. We've always talked about it but was always unsure because we have had other people in there to fix cracks and stuff and they always leaked after a while. Mike assured us that they could design a system that could drian the water into a sump pump AND make the walls waterproofed. he showed me some projects that they did and how they can stop water from comig into the basement in the first place. I loved that idea because most everyone else wanted to put in some fancy drain systems for the floor and a plastic sheet over my cracks!! Seriously? His quote was really detailed with a step by step list of what they would do and was real simple and easy to read. It was about the same as the other companies i called but because they actually waterproof basements AND do the drain tile, I was more than ready to use them.
