What the ratings mean

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume counts how many customers have rated each company. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from more than a thousand people counts for more than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency shows how recently customers are still leaving reviews.

What waterproofing costs depend on

Price follows the method and the size of the job: a single crack repair, a sump pump, a section of drain tile or a full perimeter system are very different projects. Access, excavation, finishing work such as drywall and whether a warranty is included also move the number. No prices are published here, so ask for an itemized written estimate.

Service areas

These companies are based in Tonawanda, Cheektowaga and Buffalo, and Highlander Waterproofing & Foundation Repair says on its site that it works across Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio. Looking for waterproofing near me in Buffalo? Each listing has a phone number, and each lists weekday hours.

What to ask before a basement is opened

What is causing the water, and what are the options for fixing it?
Do you take small jobs, such as a single crack?
What does the warranty cover, is it transferable, and can I see it in writing?
Who will be on site, and how do you protect floors and contain dust?
Does the estimate include drywall, finishing and cleanup?
Do you service sump pumps and battery backups after install?

Frequently asked questions

What do waterproofing companies in Buffalo do besides install sump pumps?

Reviewers describe drain tile replacement, bubbler systems, wall crack repair, new drainage systems, I-beams and dehumidifier installation, along with sump pump work. Ryan Waterproofing & Plumbing and UTECH Waterproofing also list yard drainage on their sites.

Can I hire someone for a single foundation crack?

It depends on the company. UTECH Waterproofing and Frank’s Basement Systems reviewers describe crack repairs, so start there. Ask any company about its minimum job size first.

Do waterproofing companies offer warranties?

Highlander Waterproofing & Foundation Repair’s site advertises a lifetime, transferable warranty, and one Frank’s Basement Systems reviewer describes a lifetime warranty. Ask any company to put the coverage and its conditions in writing.

Picking a waterproofer
