Key Qualities to Look for in a Waterproofing Contractor

There are some home improvement projects you can take on yourself, but others require professional assistance. For example, if you want to waterproof your basement, you will need the help of an experienced waterproofing contractor like those on our team at Dogwood Crawlspaces.

Worker in yellow gloves applies black waterproofing sealant with a brush along the base of a gray brick wall and concrete corner.

We have been working on waterproofing projects for many years, and we know what it takes to be great at this kind of work. If you are looking for a waterproofing contractor for your property, we encourage you to look for the following qualities in a candidate:

Experience – A good principle to stick to whenever hiring anyone to work on your home is that more experience in the field leads to better results. When choosing a waterproofing contractor, look for someone who has been working in the business for a long time and has experience in the type of waterproofing you need (in other words, if you need to work on your home, don’t hire a commercial contractor, and vice versa).
Warranty – We also encourage you to look for a waterproofing contractor who offers warranties on their work. That way, if something goes wrong with the installation, you won’t have to pay to have it done a second time. Our team offers a lifetime warranty on our work, complete with annual inspections, as well as a five-year warranty on materials.
Client Satisfaction – Lastly, we encourage you to choose a waterproofing contractor with an established history of great work. When interviewing potential candidates, always ask for a list of client references, and then reach out to at least a few to get a first-hand account of their experience with the company.

What Our Clients say

“Guys did a tremendous job. Moisture was significant. Got it dried out, cleaned, and new insulation installed with vapor barrier. No one enjoys spending money on an area that you don’t live in but I thought it was fairly priced for the work that was done. Highly recommend. Pics are the before and after.”

Mike E.

“Thomas was great to work with and does super quality work using the best materials. I looked into a lot of other crawlspace vapor barrier and encapsulation companies and Dogwood Crawlspaces was the best that I found and at a reasonable price too. Thanks Thomas for giving my wife and I great peace of mind with a really nice sealed crawlspace and Aprilaire whole house dehumidifier. You’re awesome!”

“Thomas is extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his assessment to determine the underlying issue in our crawl space. He returned my call quickly and showed up the next day without applying any uncomfortable sales pressure. A true professional!”
