I work as an engineer at Ford, so I’m used to digging into the “why” behind a problem, not just slapping a fix on it. When my basement flooded after a big storm, I wanted a company that would actually figure out what was going on instead of just mopping up and calling it a day.
A buddy of mine, also an engineer, told me about Atlantic Coast Waterproofing Co. after they did a great job on his place. Glad I gave them a call!
I actually had another contractor come out to give me estimate before deciding, and it honestly wasn’t close — Atlantic Coast Waterproofing Co. was in a league of their own. Right from the start they were professional and easy to work with. Gary and his son walked my basement with me, explained what was causing the water to get in, and laid out a game plan that actually made sense — not just some generic sales pitch. The other two companies felt like they were rushing through a checklist just to give me a number, but these guys actually took the time to understand the problem.
Once the work started, Gary and his crew showed up on time, kept things clean, and clearly took pride in what they were doing. You could tell this wasn’t their first rodeo.
It’s been a couple of weeks since they wrapped up the job, and my basement has stayed bone dry the whole time, even through a couple of decent rains. As someone who appreciates good, solid work (professional habit, I guess), I can honestly say these guys do it right.
If you’ve got water in your basement and want it fixed properly the first time, do yourself a favor and call Atlantic Coast Waterproofing Co. Highly recommend.
