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[…]
Starting right from the initial visit for the quote Gary and his crew are always informative and shows you what’s going on every step of the way. The customer service is unbeatable and Gary always gets back to you with any questions or information I’d say within 15 to 20 minutes at most, even while[…]
4 weeks ago As a retired engineer, I tend to look at home projects with a very detailed eye, focusing heavily on quality and process control. We recently bought a 1920s lake house that needed serious waterproofing work, and I brought out three companies for inspections. While two well-known competitors gave us generic, one-size-fits-all sales[…]
“great crew, timely, hard working, and fair priced. if I had to do it all over again, I would hire them again”.
Gary called right away and came out right away to give me a free quote. He let me know of his and his families experience over the years since he’s been in his profession and walked me through the issues with my foundation. We set a date for him to come out and he came[…]
We had water leaking into the basement after a heavy rain and snow melt in February. We called 3 companies for estimates. We were most impressed with Gary Lustig, his background and experience and his Angie’s list reviews. He was able to start the job sooner than the others and we are very glad we[…]
Atlantic Coast may not be the cheapest company but their work is outstanding. They were friendly, communicated what would be happening in my basement, and even took me downstairs to show me the work that they had done. I would definitely hire them again.
We don’t hesitate to recommend Atlantic Coast Waterproofing. We had a very specialized drainage issue in our tight crawl space that involved intense labor. Gary and his team worked both relentlessly and efficiently while also taking the time to clearly explain each step of the process. We never felt intimidated to ask a question and[…]
I called Gary because of his high reviews. He got back with me quickly, and was able to come check our basement out right away. Some companies wouldn’t even give me an estimate for almost 2 weeks! Gary was prompt, polite, friendly. He explained our issues in great detail. We had no idea what we[…]
Every one of the rod holes were drilled out and sealed. The cement was removed about 15 inches from the wall and a trench about 15 inches deep was dug. A large black plastic type pipe was laid on top of a bed of stones, then stones on top of that. A plastic type of[…]
We are so thrilled with the work that Gary and his crew did for us! Very professional and kept the work area impressively clean! The finished product is exactly what we had hoped for. While working on our water management in our NOW very dry and non-leaky basement, he managed to educate us on the[…]
Professional from the moment we met with Gary to discuss the project, through its completion. Crew was hard-working, pleasant and clean. Daily review of the work performed/progress made. Complicated project with excellent results. Highly recommend this company. 5 stars. Google review.

It’s important that your jobs are done correctly, not just the best pitch. Just read this horrible story from the summer about a mother and daughter’s deaths from improper installation of sump pump electrical outlet. Read more about the story here.
Dear ACW, My house is 63 years old. I had water coming into the basement from the perimeter of all four walls. I spent $1050 to take up the carpeting and dry it out. The water kept coming back. I contacted Atlantic Coast and Gary Lustig came out to look at the damage and gave[…]
Dear ACW, It was a pleasure to work with your family owned business. Your entire staff was prompt and friendly. Barton could not have been more complimentary. Greg Lustig, the sales representative did a great job of explaining why I was having a leaking basement and what could be done to remedy the situation. Gary[…]
What to expect when calling for a free estimate: We do not have pretty music, nor talking computers asking you to wear out your fingers pressing numbers. We are a corporation built on old-fashion values. We have you talk with a person who will answer your questions and set a time convenient in your schedule[…]
Very few builders construct their own foundations. Almost all foundations are sub-contracted to only a few contractors that build them. The contractors that are building a foundation at the beginning of the week for a fifty thousand dollar home are the same contractors at the end of the week building a foundation for a two[…]
The longer you wait to fix your basement, the more damage you will have to contend with. The damage could be a result of unhealthy mold, reduced value of your home, structural problems, electrical and shock hazards. Infestation of insects, for example carpenter ants. Your best course of action would be to fix your basement[…]
Look for a waterproofer who is licensed. Look for a waterproofer who is insured. Look for a waterproofer who has liability and workman’s compensation policies. This is one way, you may know, it will be the same company doing the job and not a sub-contractor. Look for a waterproofer who has a strong presence within[…]
If you find a Gutter or Landscaping Company who will “guarantee you a dry basement” by doing either one of these projects, give me a call with their company’s phone number because I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I would like to sell them! These projects may redirect the water from downfall off of[…]
The water that is coming up through your floor is most likely a result of hydrostatic pressure. This means that you have an abundance of water under your home. Doing the before mentioned work may not completely solve your problem under your home. I must restate that most contractors only warranty the area in which[…]
The water coming through the crack is usually a symptom of a much larger problem. By patching the crack, you are not addressing why the water is behind the wall and why it is not draining correctly. The water, which follows the path of least resistant will usually find another way into the basement.
Using a waterproofing paint on the interior of the foundation walls could be the worst option to do in comparison to doing nothing. Concrete blocks and cinder blocks have hollow cavities inside them. This means these walls are completely hollow. Ground and surface water can make access inside your walls through cracks, mortar joints, or[…]
