Once Bob Waters and his son Cody and associate Chance arrived on site, the work that I contracted for him to do went flawlessly and was completed in a timely and very professional manner! Bob and his crew followed the written quote he provided to me to the letter and there were no surprises, or additional charges. He brought screened top soil to lay down as needed and when Cody spotted some low spots around my yard, he asked if I wanted them to drop some top soil to those areas as well; which they did and at no extra charge. The website is very informative and outlines the scope of the Company's offerings and capabilities. Needless to say I would highly recommend Waters Basement Services to anyone requiring the services that they provide. You can tell that this is a family owned business, from the pride that Bob excludes when talking about his wife running the front office, to his son and potentially his grandsons working with him taking care of Customers in the future! BRAVO!!
Description of Work: Re-graded landscaping to slope away from house and replaced window wells with taller ones to prevent water from penetrating foundation walls and coming into basement.

It went very well. This is a family owned business. Bob Waters was very knowledgeable and was on site every day. The crew drove an hour and a half each way to get to our home and back. They worked VERY hard, cleaned up every day, and did a stellar job. We now have no concerns about water coming in to our basement, which was important since we plan on having a room built in half of the basement. Bob had walked around outside the home, but felt that digging up around the outside was not necessary. It took a week and one day, and was on time and on schedule. There was the expected amount of noise and dust and vibration, involving two jackhammers. They were very polite and did what they could to minimize dust and mess.
Description of Work: Basement waterproofing. Tear out old water damaged "man cave". New drainage system, weep holes, sump pump, and wall water diversion system.

Description of Work: They ripped out my basement paneling, a dry-walled closet and basically prepared the basement for their installation of a drainage system around the entire perimeter of the concrete floor (they had to chisel / jackhammer then repave over). They also installed their wall panel waterproofing system and a sump pump. | |It went VERY well. I have hesitated to write this up as I wanted to wait a few RAINY weekends to see how it is. It could not be better! Our damp, wet basement is spot-dry! Bob knows his business and takes care to perform the work he is familiar with. He seems to know what some never learn: each customer is 10+ more, or 10+ less! He was available and more than willing to explain the process involved and the benefits from each step.

Description of Work: They evaluated the cause for the water in our basement and determined it was not due to a structural issue. Helped to identify other cause and believed it was the furnace (which it DID turn out to be the problem). Only charged a service call. Very polite, professional, reasonable.

Meeting our customer’s needs is number one priority to Waters Basement Services, Inc. We advise homeowners to get other estimates. Waters Basement Services provides competitive pricing within our specialty field. If the price was not within your expectation or budget, we are confused on why you chose to have our company to do the necessary repairs. Outside wall crack repairs require more intensive labor and are always a weather pending repair as indicated at time of consultation. With the spring New York is experiencing this year, we wanted to make sure the repair could be completed without any additional concerns. Waters Basement Services prides itself on being professional, punctual, provide quality work and stand behind our warranties. If at any time you have concerns regarding your repairs, please contact us. Thank you for the support.

Description of Work: Bob came out to look at our basement. He assessed the situation and suggested the least invasive, least expensive solution first. The 2 other estimates were for 12- 14k and involved massive amounts of work in areas that did not need work done to fix the problem. He installed a drainage grate, he cleaned out a large section of drain tile, he installed a clean out and a new section of drain tile and fixed a crack in the basement wall. He worked with his guys, checked the work of his guys, adhered to the time, the work and the price he quoted us. We will have him back next month to do other work for us. We were very pleased!

Very positive experience.
Description of Work: About 8 years ago we had Everdry waterproof our basement. Unfortunately, the work they performed (for many thousands of dollars) did not correct the problem. After having Everdry back multiple times to attempt to correct the issues, I finally gave up and decided it was time to explore solutions with other contractors. I contacted Bob Waters to have him look at our situation. He was prompt, knowledgeable, and courteous. After looking at the basement system and evaluating the outside setup he recommended a number of steps we should take prior to doing anymore inside excavation. He supplied me with names of individuals who could help me with some of the work should we decide to follow through on his suggestions. He did not charge us anything for his time and/or sharing his expertise. If after further assessment of our outside drainage issues we were to decide our only alternative was further inside or outside excavation, I would certain feel very comfortable in contacting Bob to complete the work.

Bob and his crew came and waterproofed the basement in our 1867 home. We have had numerous floods over the last 18 years we have lived here and we have had constant trouble with sump pumps and standing water. Bob went above and beyond in coming immediately and putting in a temporary pump since ours had just failed before he came for the estimate. He is very knowledgeable about basements and was able to improve our basement more than I ever imagined possible ! The drain tile is tied in to the 2 sumps and has a dimple board backing to catch anything dripping down the walls. The sumps are very quiet and he was able to tie in the 2 year old backup pump we already had. Bob's crew were all really pleasant when I got home at the end of the day - even after working in a filthy, 6 ft. high stone basement all day. In addition to all the concrete that was excavated, they hauled out a large amount of scrap wood (old shelves) and an old hot water heater and disposed of it for us. Everything was broom clean and Bob went over the whole job with me and answered questions thoroughly. We have a warranty on our work and I am beyond thrilled with my old, and quot;newand quot; basement. I HIGHLY recommend Waters Basement Waterproofing.
Description of Work: We had 150 feet of drain tile installed along with 2 new sump crocks and pumps. The stone walls were also sprayed with mold inhibitor.

We had many estimates and job explanations on what to do to resolve the problem, we chose Mr. Wasters because his wasn't the cheapest but his explanantion of the needed "fix" seemed the most rationale and he was dead on, we haven't had a water problem since!
Description of Work: They dug trenches in out side stair well and basement floor diverting water to the sump pump, installed new sump pump and water proofed two walls, looks so much better and since having this work done by Mr. Waters; have had no water to contend with since.

The cost was +$14000,00 for a 24 x 30 foot basement. A 10" section of cement along the periphery was dug out and removed, drain tile was installed and connected to a sump pump. The walls were covered with a plastic microbe/mold resistant rigid plastic in the pantry and laundry and heavy black plastic sheeting where we intended to place walls. I do not anticipate a problem with the work and would not hesitate to call them again.
Description of Work: Bob Waters company did work in our basement a couple years ago. We had a slightly damp, very unsightly cinder block basement that we wanted to finish. The work was done on time, the workers were clean and cleaned up the all of the mess and as promised the walls look good enough that I feel no need to cover them in the laundry and the pantry.

It was excellent; it turned out very good. They were very personable. They did call afterwards to make sure that things were cleaned up and that we were satisfied and happy with what they had done.
Description of Work: They came in and accessed the problem. They gave us a price. They did tell us that certain things might not happen because this is an older home. We were having leakage through our Bilco doors and they created a drain and created a new sump pump. They insulated the basement in the area where the eaves are. They recommended some things that I thought worked great.

We were suffering from severe flooding everytime a big rainstorm hit and needed help big time. After Bob came out and gave us his estimate and plan of attack, I point blank asked him if he was sure his plan would fix it. He assured me it would. My wife and I had to think hard about spending that much money, but something about Bob told me I was dealing with a straight shooter. We had him do the work and haven't had any regrets ( or floods) since. For us, this was money well spent.
Description of Work: Basement needed proper drain tiling new sump hole and pump. This entailed cutting out concrete all around outer edge of basement floor and re-concreting. Outside the house,he brought in dirt to raise up the grade along alot of low spots so that water ran away from the house more efficiently. Also installed metal window wells around basement windows.

Long and short if money is not an issue and personality is then Bob is your guy!!
Description of Work: Bob was super professional, very prompt with great follow up. However his price was sky high compared to the 7 other estimates we got for the same service. He originally was more than DOUBLE the average of the other estimates. He lowered the price for no reason then later lowered it again but wanted to leave all waste in my yard for me to take care of. The lowest price was still 50 percent higher then the average of the 7 other estimates.

Response from Waters Basement Services, Inc.
Ontario County is not in our service area. At the initial contact I inform the customer that Ontario County is out of service area and encourage the homeowner to contact someone in their service area. But when the customer would still like us to look at their problems, I will set an appointment for a free consultation. We encourage the home owner to obtain other estimates from other basement waterproofing companies. But unless you are a reputable Basement Waterproofing Company and not a (different kind of Specialty Company) comparing estimates that are for the exacted work would be difficult. You obviously would obtain solutions and pricing differences. As for the prices for our services when they are not in our service area, we inform the customer that we will have to charge to accommodate for the travel, hauling of debris, and in this case would have to included hotel rooms for our employees. As for the reason of a lower price, it was at the customer request for alteration to the original proposal. At the second request from the home owner to give a price reduction, I offered an option of debris being removed from the property or being left on site which would of lead to a change in price. I hope the customer had a great experience with whomever they chose. This was just an estimate, no obligation to either party.
