Certified Basement Waterproofing Service

Water-free Basements Start with First Choice Waterproofing

Extreme weather conditions, poor construction materials, hydrostatic pressure, and other external factors make your basement susceptible to water damage. Some of the first signs of water damage include water running down the walls, moisture spots, standing water or puddles, and seepage where the wall meets the floor.

Over time, water-related issues can escalate and cause severe structural damage, like cracks, wall bowing, and mold growth. Invest in basement waterproofing before the damage becomes too extensive and costly. Our basement waterproofing in New Jersey is a comprehensive solution that includes:

  • Evaluating the situation effectively
  • Determining the best plan of action for waterproofing
  • Conducting prompt repairs
  • Preventing water intrusion
  • Eliminating the chances of structural damage
  • Customizing our waterproofing approach to suit your needs

How Do You Know if Your Basement Needs Waterproofing?

  • Damp, Musty Odor: A damp and musty odor in the basement indicates mold and mildew. Mold spores can spread and compromise your living area.
  • Mold/Mildew: Mold and mildew are usually caused by high levels of moisture and humidity in your basement that can cause health issues.
  • Cracks on Walls/Floors: Cracks on walls and floors occur slowly, so homeowners may not notice them until they become prominent or start leaking. If you notice any cracks, especially if they are changing direction, leaking, or growing larger, contact us to inspect your home.
  • Efflorescence: Efflorescence—crystalline deposit of salts on concrete–indicates that water has passed through your basement. Efflorescence can be cleaned, but the underlying moisture issues could compromise the structural integrity of your basement.
  • Bowed Walls: Bowed walls are caused by excessive hydrostatic pressure and can weaken your basement’s structure significantly. If not treated in time, bowed walls can lead to structural collapse.

Everything was done very quickly and works great. Would highly recommend.Robby B.Robby B. ★★★★★ I am writing this review on behalf of my parents, who have lived in New Jersey for over 40 years. I no longer live there, as I reside in North Carolina. My parents were in need of basement waterproofing and I researched several companies for them and made a few appointments.Ultimately, we decided to go with First Choice Waterproofing. Because I could not physically be there for the appointment, I was able to FaceTime and be involved. I was able to ask all questions in regard to the project, and what responsibilities my parents were signing up for.Throughout the process, we were very satisfied with First Choice Waterproofing. The presentation, the materials, and the warranty were what sold us. The crew that came to the house and did the work were very respectful throughout the process, making sure that if my parents had any questions they were answered.It has been two months since the job was completed and they have had a few rainstorms since then. I am happy to report that my parents’ basement has remained dry, and there have been no issues with the high-quality sump pumps that were installed.I honestly don't understand how anybody could leave a negative review for this excellent company. I suppose some people have to have something to complain about all the time.I highly recommend First Choice Waterproofing!!Domenic D.Domenic D. ★★★★★ Steve, was very helpful. Was able to identify it was a gutter problem and not a basement waterproofing problem. I appreciate his honesty and being trustworthy. A lot of contractors would have tried selling us expensive repairs we didn’t needIlya Z Y.Ilya Z Y. ★★★★★ Great company. Came on time. Very professional. Kept everything nice and clean. Great staff.

Job was done effectively and within the timeframe as well. There were no surprises as Steve walked us through everything and answered all of our questions. I would recommendBarbara T.Barbara T. ★★★★★ My initial contact with First Choice Waterproofing was a phone call.The voice on the other end of the phone was warm and friendly...that was a plus to me. From the start I was put at ease. When I hung up the phone I not only had an appointment with Steve I had confidence in the company. Steve arrived on time, greeted me with a smile and explained exactly what needed to be done and why? Of course, I didn't want my life in free fall by men with jack hammers, stones, pipes and cement, but I didn't want water in my home either. I signed a contract, gave a deposit and had a starting date. A crew of 4/5 men arrived, got right to work and 2 days later they were gone. It's crazy to say...but besides the noise of the jackhammer I didn't even know they were there. All went about their job...quickly and quietly. AND, if I had a question all were answered with a smile. On top of being one of the most professional companies I have ever worked with...they cleaned up afterwards. Besides the evidence of the work that was done the crew left my rooms clean and orderly. The next step...the electrician...again without a problem. The final step...putting the walls and floor back. A few days later Chris, the carpenter arrived...again met with a smile and more information. A major concern of mine was saving my vinyl floor...it was only a year old. Obviously, I didn't want the added expense of replacing it, Chris assured me the floor could be saved...whew! Although it was not part of the job, Chris could sense I was not anxious to repaint the new sheet rocked walls. He offered, at no additional cost, to do it. All I had to do was supply the paint. Eureka!!! Chris didn't have to, but he also helped me put all my furniture back where it belonged. This was not an easy task as the furniture included a couch, chairs, tables, 60" plasma and stand, a dresser, a bed and all the little things rooms have. Of course I had a major cleaning job ahead of me, but the rooms were back in order. That evening, the owner of the company, Steve...which by the way was there every step of the way...came for a final inspection and his words, "If you need anything do not hesitate to call." Well a month later I called with a concern...Steve was at my home within a few hours...and it was at night. I cannot say enough positive things about First Choice Waterproofing. If you put your trust in this company you will not be disappointed.Joseph D.Joseph D. ★★★★★ Wonderful company to deal with. Beginning with the project manager Steve and with the crew. They are amazing with the speed and cleanliness. Would highly recommend this companyMaryMary ★★★★★ We had an excellent experience from beginning conversations with Steve, to completion of the basement waterproofing system! My husband and I are very pleased with the outcome! The foreman, Wilson, and his crew were hard working and certainly their team effort was evident. Wilson was thorough with his work and communication. He initiated conversation and frequently asked if he could answer any of our questions. The crew went above and beyond to disassemble a wooden train table and remove it. Upon completion of the work, Wilson did a summarizing walk through with us and set up 2 dehumidifiers to drain right into the pits. The work area was left clean, both inside and out. I am smiling knowing the worrisome years of a wet basement are behind me. Thank you First Choice Waterproofing!Russell H.Russell H. ★★★★★ If there were more than five stars to give this company for its service, I would give it to them. I cannot speak highly enough of the two (2) Steve’s’. I had done some research beforehand but was grateful for their expertise. From the first time I reached out, Steve answered immediately and from there on out was very responsive. Steve explained everything in a way that was easy even for a novice to understand and made me feel comfortable every step of the way. Their professionalism, knowledge, honesty, integrity, and hard work ethics are very much appreciated and respected. I will recommend Home Genius to any homeowner who is looking for great service and response time.js_loader
