Basement
Waterproofers

All of our clients have been thrilled with the jobs we perfomed. See for youself what some of our past clients have to say about our work.

      "We hired Select to solve our water seepage problem in the basement. And found that Select Basement Waterproofing was absolutely incredible! Not to mention that Select came highly recommended from our 2 neighbors.
      Jerome (the Owner) looked at our problem and within minutes realized the problem and the solution. I was pleased with the fact that no hig-pressure tactics were used like the other companies that we had in before to get a quote.
      Our decision to hire Select Basement Waterproofing was one of the best investments we ever made for our ranch home From start to finish they were unbelievable!!! They were the best contractor we ever had working for us!!!
      The job was done exactly as we were told and no corners were cut, and they did extras and did not charge us!!! My father was so amazed that he even did his house, that not only needed waterproofing, but it had many structural problems. Select Basement Waterproofing excavated the basement one foot deeper to make the basement like you would never believe.
      My father's and my basement do not smell anymore at all, are now dry to the bone, clean, and look great. My basement and my dad's basement is on Jerome's video computer.
      Now my basement is half finished, with a bedroom, full bathroom, and gym, and office. Thank you SELECT BASEMENT WATERPROOFING COMPANY. Now our home is two levels, and is so nice to go down stairs.
      Keep up the great work."

      "I just wanted to take a minute to thank you for a job well done. In this world a person is measured on his word. Based on that belief you guys are worth your weight in gold. Prior to signing on with your company I had interviewed many other "professionals"; all with a good story. I hired you guys because your services were the most affordable, you used only hi-grade suppolies and you backed up your word by showing me proof of what you had already done. Finally, I was most impressed when you asked for no money until the job was done.
      You are your word and that is why I would recommend you guys to anyone that asks. The job looks great and it works perfect. It was a pleasure to do business with you guys. Feel free to use me as a reference. "

       "Select Basement Waterproofing is as professional a company as you could possibly have to deal with your water issues. From the get-go they came right out and gave us a quote on the job. They are there to do and finish the job as scheduled. When they said they would start the job, they did; and when they said they would be finished, they were. Their crew is excellent; careful with moving and covering needed items, extremely professional working, and they cleaned up the job at the end. We would recommend Select Basement Waterproofing a million times over."

       "Kindly feel free to use my name as a recommendation for your services. I was extremely pleased with the level of professional ability and customer service you proveded. Especially after the success in the condition of my basement after the recent heavy rains that our area has incurred. Your work has stood up to the guarantee you provided when you were hired to waterproof my basement.
       I have great experience with professionals that do not meet your level of service. You and your company answer every phone call and responded to every question I had. You provided intense follow-up care and even waterproofed areas above and beyond your contracted obligation.
       Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I would be happy to provide references should anyone ever require them."

       "I just wanted to touch base with you to tell you that I am extremely happy with the job that you did for me. This last rainfall we had was a great test and you passed with flying colors. My basement was bone dry and the pump did its work. Timing is everything and I'm glad that I had you come and do the French drain cause it would have been messy with all the rain we had. Thanks again and we already recommended you to someone interested in having a French drain done. Take care!"

       "We could not be happier with the job you did in our home. After one failed attempt at waterproofing our basement with a local business, we were not hopeful of ever finishing our basement and making a playroom for our girls. You and your team came in and worked quickly and professionally to correct our existing problem and offered us wonderful advice and guidance which has kept our basement dry for over a year. After the week of torrential rain we have just had we are feeling very confident that our basement is truly "waterproof". Ware also pleased with the continued quick response you have provided in replacing our sump pumps. We were happy to refer you to some friends and they too have been thrilled with the job you did in their home in Spring Lake. Keep up the great work guys! Thanks again!"

      "This letter is to thank you and your crew for the great job you did on the installation of the French drain in our basement. You were responsive to our calls prior to starting the job, were very competative in your price and started and completed the job when you said you would. In addition, your crew did everything possible to minimize the disruption to our family, and the work site was cleaned up every day before they left.
      I would highly recommend your services to anyone looking for basement waterproofing. Please feel free to use this letter as a recommendation to other potential clients.
      Thank you again for a job well done."

      "Just a note to say "thanks" for being "the professional" of basement waterproofing. You are in a league of your own!
      We would be very pleased to recommend you and your company Select Basement Waterproofing to any potential customers.
      For the record, we originally contracted another company from the "minor leagues" to install French drains around our basement foundation.
      "Disaster" may best describe their efforts but probably "lack of experience and common sense" caused the many problems. I won't detail everything that went wrong, but I will tell anyone that you eventually came on the scene and all of a sudden the project went from utter disaster to smooth sailing.
      Mike, you have a "knack" for clear thinking on how to resolve "problems" and also have a gift for for providing new ideas to prevent future problems.
      And we greatly appreciate the "cleanliness". Let's face facts, breaking up concrete is a messy job, but you and your men kept the dust and dirt down to a minimum and you cleaned up every day!
      In conclusion, we now have a completely finished off basement with al confidence that our severe water problems are finally resolved.
      Many thanks, Mike."

      "Recently we hired, Select Basement Waterproofing, to waterproof our basement we just wanted to say how pleased we were with the job. Jerome Fokas's presentation of the problem and solution were very visual and simply shown to us on his laptop.
      The day of the job Jerome and his crew were very prompt and completed the work in the estimated time that we were told and expected. We were also very pleased how neatly they kept our house during and after the completed work, a very big plus. We would also like to commend how well mannered and respectful they were, especially since we have young children.
      If you are ever in need of a waterproofing company, we highly recommend, Select Basement Waterproofing "

      "Just a note to thank you for the professional job you and your workers did in installing the window wells and sump-pump in order to alleviate the musty odor in my basement. I was truly impressed by the neat and clean job you did both inside and out. Just as my friend, Gertrude Molinoff, recommended you to me, I will certainly not hesitate to recommend you to my friends should they ever be in need of basement waterproofing. "

      "I am taking this opportunity to thank you for the terrific job your company did to correct my basement water leakage problem in my office. Now, during and after heavy rainstorms, I can actually hear the water running through the drainpipes and into my sump pumps. Previously, I was getting water through the floor, soaking through the carpeting, and puddling.
      The job was done soon after signing the contract and for a competitive price. Your workers were as careful they could be to minimize debris and the special concrete cutting equipment and air filtering machine utilized did a good job of minimizing airborne dust.
      I would be pleased to recommend your services to my business associates, neighbors and friends."

      "My "Thank you" for the work you did on my basement was deliberately delayed in order to feel totally satisfied with what you've done. What you did is outstanding! You fixed a basement that was in terrible condition: flooding, very poor condition of the walls' waterproofing, floor gutters stopped up with who-knows-what, and probably things you noticed and I didn't. You repaired this totally in one preschedule day. Our basement was repaired about for or five months ago, and it's been flawless - after much stormy weather.
      You also added a sump that has tirelessly dealt with that strong flow of water beneath my basement. I feel confident that my discomfort with my basement is completely gone.
      To anybody who needs their basement waterproofed: Jerome is the guy to pick for this."

      "Recently you performed a mold remediation in our home and we want to thank you and your crew for doing such a great job. About 12 years ago, Mid-Atlandtic Waterproofing, at a high cost to us, put in a waterproofing system in our basement. Over the years, mold had developed and the basement was still unusable
      Not only did you completely and professionally eradicate the mold, but for a very reasonable fee, you corrected some installation errors Mid-Atlantic had done all those years ago. The drain now goes completely around the walls of the basement, the pump is larger, and we now have the ability to snake the drain should it become clogged.
      W'ere amazd at how you managed to remove the heavey odor and do away with our "wet wall" that hid behind a closet for many years. We'll be remodeling soon and we're more condfident than ever that the basement will stay dry and pleasant for years to come. Again, thanks to Select Basement Waterproofing for a job well done."

      "In December 2004, Select Basement Waterproofing performed a miracle! I have lived in my house for almost 20 years, and I have suffered with a basement that leaked. I was skeptical of waterproofing systems, but I can tell you now, just how reieved I am to know that my basement is water free.
      Select Basement Waterproofing came in on a Thursday and they were done by the next day. They installed pins, a drainage system, and re-poured the floor. The crew was efficient, thorough, and very detail oriented. There is no more water, and I feel like I have a new basement!
      I feel very confident in recommending Select Basement Waterproofing to anyone who is considering taking the step. I found them to be responsible, very knowledgeable, and reasonable in their price. They made me feel comfortable, and confident in their work. I recommencd Select Basement Waterproofing without reservation. If you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me."

Our experience with Jerome and his team was extremely positive prompting this letter of recommendation that may be made available to prospective clients. A few points illustrate the high degree of experience and professionalism offered by this Contractor and his Business;
- Jerome offered a well thought out and visually informative presentation that reatly assisted our understanding of the waterproofing process.
- Jerome was extremely patient and articulate in explaining the probable cause of our basement water problem.
- He offered up specific examples of prior clients who had similar problems.
- Jerome explained in laymen terms how his offered solution would solve the problem.
- The projected start and finish dates were right on target.
- His entire team was polite, clean, and professional. They went out of their way to aensure a safe working environment and maintained a high degree of cleanliness. (They were the most well organized and cleanest contractors we have experienced.)
- The team's work was of high quality and well planned.
- His use of twin sump pumps and battery backups are an excellent model for solving a water seepage problem.
- The team was willing to take the required time to do the job correctly with a aview toward tailoring to our specific needs.
- Jerome did not push any optional additional work. His team installed additional foundation support for some cracks along the walls, but only after I noticd and requested options.
      The system has been in place approximately 30 days with no issues noted. Long term use will determine its viability, however thus far the quality of the work and its implementation seem right on target. "

      "We wanted to take the time to thank you for the work you did in our home. Our water problem didn't allow us to use our basement for almost 6 months. The drain put outside is working perfectly, and the sump pump is keeping everything dry inside. You did everything you said you would, and worked through some unexpected changes without taking much extra time or requesting funds above the original quote. You guys were an unbelievable all around company. From, Jerome in our house giving us a really fair estimate, to the job, and clean-up was perfect.
      We also appreciate the reference given for Carlos tocomplete the job. The finishing touches on our new dry basement have allowed us to finally use it! His team was extremely professional and the work they did is beautiful.
      Thanks again -- we really appreciate it!"
