Our take: A smaller review base than the others but consistently described as tidy and straight about pricing. A fair option if your home is in the northwest suburbs or the city's edge.

How the scorecards work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of people carries more weight than a 5.0 from a dozen. Recency shows how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What drives the price of basement waterproofing

We don’t quote dollar figures here because the reviews and company sites on this page don’t state any. In practice, a job’s price moves with its scope: a single French drain is a different project from a full interior drainage system, a sump pump with battery backup, a vapor barrier or crawl space encapsulation. Access, how finished the basement is and how much concrete has to be cut also matter. One reviewer reported that the higher quote came with thicker materials, so compare what is included, not just the total.

Serving Philadelphia and the nearby suburbs

Two companies on this page have Northeast Philadelphia addresses, while Jamison (Oreland), Tru Basement Waterproofing (Norristown) and Dry-At-Last (Audubon, New Jersey) are based outside the city. Jamison’s site names Philadelphia, Princeton and Wilmington, Over the Top’s names Philadelphia, New Jersey and Delaware, and Tru is based in Norristown. Looking for waterproofing near me? Each listing has a phone number and map link so you can check the nearest crew.

Questions to ask before you sign a waterproofing quote

  • Is the quote itemized by system (French drain, sump pump, vapor barrier, crawl space work)?
  • What warranty comes with the drain, the pump and the labor, and is it transferable if I sell?
  • Does the price include a battery backup for the sump pump?
  • How will you protect and clean the finished areas of my basement?
  • Are you licensed and insured for work at my address?
  • How many days will the crew be on site, and who will be my contact?

Frequently asked questions

Do these waterproofers work inside Philadelphia or only in the suburbs?

Basement Gurus and Over the Top Waterproofing both list Northeast Philadelphia addresses. Jamison is based in Oreland, Tru in Norristown and Dry-At-Last in Audubon, New Jersey. Jamison’s site names Philadelphia, so confirm your street with the others before booking.

What kind of work do reviewers describe on Philadelphia basements?

Reviewers for Jamison, Basement Gurus, Over the Top and Tru describe French drain and sump pump jobs, and reviewers for Jamison and Basement Gurus also mention crawl space encapsulation. Dry-At-Last’s reviews cover a replacement French drain and foundation wall repairs.

How long does a waterproofing job take, according to reviewers?

Can a company handle both waterproofing and masonry work?
