Jay with Armored Basement Waterproofing came out to assess the cause of water pooling in my basement . I wanted a second opinion after another company told me I needed my basement floor torn up and a new french drain system installed because all the hydrastatic pressure was causing water to seep in from underneath the foundation of the house. They gave me an estimate of almost $4k. Jay was able to find the true cause of my issue, which was a leak coming from the water heater. Purposely or not, the other company totally misdiagnosed the problem. Im so thankful Jay was honest enough to say I didnt need his services at this time, what I needed was a new water heater. He didnt try to upsell me on unnecessary services, and saved me a lot of hassle and expense. Its rare and refreshing to find such an honest company, and I will definitely use Armored in the future if I ever have need of waterproofing services.

Echoing the comments of others, Gary and his team are honest and straightforward in scoping out and performing basement water issues remediation. When there was a question about a small part of the project after the project was complete, Gary and his team were incredibly responsive via phone and text and came right out to make the necessary adjustment. This may be the first Google review I have written about a home services company and Armored Basement deserves all 5 stars.

Jay came out to provide an estimate for leak on a basement wall. He made some suggestions to try prior to having his company fix the issue from the inside. I appreciated the honesty from Jay and will be calling them back if the solutions do not alleviate the problem.

Even though another company told me that I needed major waterproofing repairs, ABWs owner (Jay) told me those concerns were unreasonable. Jay did not propose any work on my basement at this time. Thanks Jay for providing a thorough and HONEST assessment of my basement situation.

This company was a few thousand under the quote I previously got. The owner also have me several options and explained each to me. They crew showed up and was very quick. When I had an issue at the next rainfall they were very responsive and came out within 2 days. Finally dont have to worry about a leaking basement. Would recommend them for waterproofing service.

We had several companies out to get an estimate of the work that we needed to have done on our basement. Gary from Armored Basement came out and gave us a sensible, straightforward, and most impressive of all, honest assessment of what we should do to resolve our water issues.Rather than trying to immediately sell us on a particular product or service, Gary instead suggested that our water issue came from poorly designed gutters and told us that he wouldnt feel comfortable doing any waterproofing work until the gutters were fixed. Its really remarkable to come across someone in this industry (or in any industry frankly) who will give you a recommendation that is actually about helping you fix your problem without trying to benefit themselves. Although we havent had Armored Basement do any work for us yet, I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation!

I found out I didnt need to get my whole basement Excavated but I needed to get landscaping to keep the water below my window level So It doesnt seep below ground level. These guys will be the 1st I call if I need foundation repair. Excellent customer service

This is, hands down, the most honest, ethical company I have ever dealt with. They will be my first and only call for any future issues with water in my home or foundation issues. Renews your faith in decent business dealings!

Had a leak in my finished basement for the second time in 2 years. Decided to call a pro to see whats going on. Cant stress enough how thankful I am for calling Armored. They were able to send someone out the same day and within about 20 minutes, he identified the problem which luckily was a very simple fix. While I didnt use the full extent of their services, they definitely know what they are doing and how to find the leak. Highly recommend! 👍

Jay came out for an estimate and was very friendly and knowledgeable. Didn’t try to sell me on anything that wasn’t needed and was genuinely interested in addressing the issue which turned out to not require their services. Very professional and courteous.

Amazing job and well worth your time and money. They not only fixed our leaking walls and crawl space, but they helped seal the outside wall and made us feel comfortable about our house. If you want a fair price, honest quote, and quality work, dial the number and you wont be disappointed.

Jay, from Armored Waterproofing, was the 3rd contractor I had at my house to find out where and why water was coming into my basement, causing my carpet to be wet, not everywhere, just in spots. To rule out a water pipe leak, I first contacted a Master Plumber. Strangely, he never bothered to look at any of the plumbing. However, this was partially my fault as I kind of insisted that the water on my carpeted basement floor was nowhere near water pipes. Although, wouldnt you think he would check anyway to rule that out? He recommended I contact a Waterproofing company. So the second contractor I called, a competing Waterproofing company, came by but he never bothered to look at the areas on the floor to see where the water was coming from. He pretty much had it in his mind to do an overall analysis of my basement concluding in a hour long presentation that cost 20K+ to fix the water coming into my basement. Of course I wanted a least a 2nd opinion on Waterproofing so I called Jay and thank God I did. He was the only contractor that helped me move my piano out of the way so we could pull up more carpet. Once we did that, he opened the access door on the wall to the main water valve (which was partially obscured by the piano). In less than a minute, we found that the reason my carpet was wet in various spots was caused by a pin hole leak on my main water line, located just below my water shut off valve. This slow leak was aimed straight down the inside of my wall, never hitting the wall itself. The water was soaked up by my carpet padding and spread the water to low areas of my basement, eventually showing up on top of my carpet in spots, not near water pipes. Morale of this story: always check your water pipes first for leaks, even though the pipes may not be near where your water is first appearing. And, ALWAYS, get at least 3 contractors to come and check things out before signing ANYTHING. Jay is the MAN, honest, trustworthy, you will not be sorry calling him to check out your basement water problems.

Jay and the team could not have been better. Highly recommend this company. Their estimate was fair, the discussion was open and honest about the pros and limits of the wall system. The company is small enough that you are always speaking with the same folks, which I find very important. The crew showed up first thing in the morning and worked like crazy til they were done. I have never seen a crew work that hard and be that focused before! They cleaned up the entire site, leaving no mess for me to deal with. With all the heavy rain we had the month later I called the office with some concerns. The same crew showed up, made some minor adjustments and made sure I was happy with the results. The system has been working really well. I am excited about being able to use this part of my house for an actual office. Great work team!

Had a significant amount of water get into our 90 year old, now finished, basement. Jay was the most direct, honest, straight forward guy we met with. After interviewing 6 companies we went with Armored. Just completed refinishing the basement, and after all this rain, it is still bone dry. Learning to not be nervous when rain is in the forecast is wonderful. Thanks Jay!

Helped us pinpoint the leak that was causing water in our basement that we have had for years. Many others tried, but nobody else approached it as scientifically as he did. He admitted that he was not the right guy to fix the leak, as it was found on the roofing of the house so he did not charge us.

Veteran owned and operated!! Called these guys and they were quick to come out to my home and check out my basement. They explained everything to me in detail as to what I may or may not need and how to avoid paying for things that would mask an issue vs solving it. So happy I called them because I almost got ripped off by a different company for something I didnt need. I was Very happy with their honesty and service

Gary helped figure out our problem and found an inexpensive solution that didnt require their services. I appreciate an honest businessman who treats you fairly.

I had a few other estimates done for crawlspace encapsulation, and told Jay what the other companys wanted to do, etc. Jay looked at my crawlspace and said that encapsulation was not necessary, and all I needed was a dehumidifier and some better ventilation. He even looked up some products online for me that I could get. His honesty blew me away. I got the feeling that he builds his business on honesty, rather than ripping people off. I will definitely be calling Armored Basement again.

I was very pleased with Jay and his staff. He came out to do a free estimate of my basement and was very friendly and explained everything he planned to do so that I understood. He is very reasonably priced, as well. When his staff came out to do the work, they were on time and respectful of my house. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

In this day and age, everyone is trying to take your dollar. They will tell you anything and everything in order to sell you a product you may or may not need. I was not home when Jay stopped by from Armored Waterproofing but what my wife told me really impressed me. His honest opinion was that we didnt need his services and that we could most likely fix the small water issue ourselves. We are forever grateful. Instead of spending $3000 on our basement, well be able to have a family vacation this summer. Thank you so much Jay and your team. Honesty is hard to find. Hire this company for your waterproofing needs and you wont regret it.

The owner came out and took a look at my property after a flooding event. He provided a quote within 24 hours that was below other quotes we had gotten. He was very responsive over email and phone.The employees showed up on time on the date of the work. In fact they were 15 minutes early. I was told the job would take all day but actually took just over half a day. The old floor was jack hammered out, gravel put in the floor, new drainage ran under the floor and a new sump pump installed and tested. In addition, vinyl was applied to the walls so any water that did come in would be fed to the drainage system.The work looks very professional, the workers cleaned up very well after the job, they protected our hardwood floors going in and out of the house. They started early, ended early and did exactly what they were supposed to do. They also pointed out a bad electrical wire prior to starting the work which is a bonus because now I can get that replaced.I would recommend this company to anyone in a heartbeat. True professionals.

Jay squeezed me in, gave me a thorough walk-through, and despite not being $$ for him, suggested a course of action that was best for the house. Hes an adviser and expert who will solve your problems not just ask you to throw money at a problem. Id highly recommend!

Honest company, which is so rare in todays day and age! They will try and help the customer save money while still solving your problem. A++++

Reasonable estimate and on the day of the job a large professional crew showed up and completed the waterproofing and cleanup within 5 hours. Very impressive and we got a transferable warranty. Would surely use again!

Armored Basement Waterproofing did a great job patching up a leaky crack in our basement last month, and at a fraction of the cost of other competing quotes. Additionally, they performed all the work inside our home without the need to dig outside around the foundation, which is appreciated as we’re about to sell our house. The people we communicated with for quotes and scheduling, as well as the gentlemen who performed the work, were polite, courteous, and prompt. We’re happy to report that the repair has held up well to the recent heavy rains. We would gladly recommend their services.

Armored Basement solved our water problems in our basement! We were so happy with their work, professionalism, and price. From the very first time they came to inspect our basement they tried to figure out what our problem was and give us exactly what we needed. Several other waterproofing companies just told us to redo the whole basement - yes it would have fixed the problem, but all that work and money wasnt necessary. Armored Basement used their experience and knowledge to give us the best solution for our water issues. I would highly recommend them to ALL my family and friends for great customer service and high quality work!

Good Job Armored Basement. Thanks Jay and Tara for the good communications with lining up estimate and timing of the work to be done. Price was good and work was performed as promised. Crew showed up on time and was ready to go right to work and had all of the supplies needed for the job. They were professional and I could tell they work well together. Finished the job in a very timely fashion and cleaned up the site when finished. Top notch job and will use Armored Basement again if I ever need a basement waterproofing job in the future. Thanks

These guys were awesome. from start to finish this company amazed my wife and I. The inspector jay came out first to help diagnose the problem. the thing that stood out is he was the only one out of three companies who actually had tools and could show us where the water was coming from. the others were your everyday typical salesman.we decided to go with armored and on start day Chris showed up on time. he walked us through the job plan. then started his day. the crew was polite and very respectful of our house. they finished the job in one day. when the job was finished Chris did a walk through. what I love about this company is how well they treat the customer. Chris asked us if we were satisfied with the clean up. he said if the job is not clean enough just let me know and Ill have a cleaning crew in here to take care of the rest. well I was very satisfied so no need for that.I recommend these guys to anyone with a water problem. this is the only company you need to call.

They arrived promptly and were very professional. They came early in the morning and were ready to work. I love how they fixed up the sump pump. I give my stamp of approval.

Jay and Tara were easy to work with for initial appointment and gave a fair price. Then when I said I was getting married in 5 weeks he was able to work with me to get work scheduled quickly. The crew was punctual, polite, and thorough. Great company

I have had major water problems in my basement for years. Prior to my appointment with Armored Basement, two other companies gave their appraisals including work that didnt need to be done and at a much higher cost. Jay was forthright and honest with his observations and explained what was, and was not necessary. They installed a french drain, replaced my sump pump, cleared mold off the walls and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I would recommend them for their workmanship as well as their honesty, which is hard to find.

After carefully searching for a qualified and reputable water proofing professional, I selected Armored Basement Waterproofing. Jay came out on time for an assessment of my waterproofing needs. He was knowledgeable and confident with recommending services that I would need. He was not overbearing and told me exactly what type of system I needed.Everything went well with the job. From the signing of the contract, to completion of the waterproofing services, I was provided with a date two weeks out along with what to expect and be prepared for. The crew, led by Chris, arrived on time and ready to start the job without any issue. They gave me an expected time of completion of about fours which they met. I was pleased with the completed job and the finished install which was seamless. The only issue I had was not being told upfornt was that the use of a credit card would required a processing service charge. I would use Armored Basement Waterproofing again and refer them to anyone in need of waterproofing services in the future.

I had a water leak in my basement. I called several waterproofing companies. Armored was the last of three quotes. The two other companies came in and spent around 5 minutes looking at the basement. After that they went straight into sales mode. Not Jay at armored. He spent about 45 minutes searching for the entry point of my water. After a few tests. He found that my problem was not the basement at all. It was an upstairs rotten window frame with loose caulk. He walked me through a diy repair as I am a somewhat handy guy. After spending about $10 at home depot. Then 20 minutes repairing the window. Problem solved. After a few heavy rain storms . Not a drop of water.I can not thank these guys enough. This is my first home. We moved in only two weeks ago. This would have broke the bank if I had let those other guys talk me into unnecessary. I recommend these guys to anyone that is looking for a honest in depth diagnosis of your problem.

Armored Basement installed a french drain and sump pump to address water seepage issues. I had a very good experience with this company. The owner came out for an estimate and was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions. I obtained estimates from other companies and Armored Basement offered the best quote. I appreciated that they didnt push for additional work that was not necessary. The installers arrived within the estimated time window and were done by noon. There was also no mess. They covered everything up that needed protection both in the basement and in the path to the door they were using in and out of the house. All the representatives from this company have been courteous, professional and respectful -- from the owner to the customer service representative to the workers that completed the installation. I would recommend this company to others.

Armored Basement took care of the unfinished section of our basement which had been causing all kinds of leaks and water problems. They installed a french drain and updated some of our sump pumps. From start to finish they made it easy -- Jay came out and took the time to explain our options and the crew was timely and explained what what happening throughout the job. They did great work.

Armored Basement waterproofing did a excellent job on my basement! I will recommend you to everyone I know, thanks!

After continually getting a flooded basement after rainstorms, I decided that it was time to get my basement waterproofed. I did some research on basement waterproofing contractors, and I came across Armored Basement Waterproofing. They had consistent high reviews from customers, and their website was very informative with pictures and detailed videos of their waterproofing process.I scheduled a time for a free quote. Jay came out and gave everything a thorough inspection and gave me a detailed explanation of the problem and what they would do to fix it. Jay was very good at explaining everything and did not pressure me at all. He gave me a very good price for the entire system and even agreed to encapsulate a separate crawlspace free of charge while the installation was being performed.I went ahead and signed the contract with Armored Basement Waterproofing for them to perform the work and scheduled to have the work done. The crew showed up promptly on time on the scheduled date. Everyone on the crew was very professional and nice. I enjoyed chatting with the guys. They did a fantastic job. They were very careful to keep everything in my basement clean. After all the work was done, everything looked great.The most important part is my basement is BONE dry now thanks to Armored Basement Waterproofing. Weve had several big rains since I had their system installed, and I havent had a drop of water in my basement. This is an incredible weight lifted off my shoulders to not have to worry about my basement flooding anymore. I highly recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing to anyone with water issues.

Jay from Armored Basement Waterproofing came in and was very knowledgeable and gave his recommendations without being a salesman like some of the other companies we had out. The solution he recommended was more thorough than those proposed from others, and the quote was also lower.. so it was an easy choice to go with them!The crew showed up on schedule, but the job ended up progressing slower than expected. What was expected to be a one-day job ended up taking two, but the job was completed to my satisfaction and our basement has been water-free ever since.I would definitely recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing for your job!

Jay and his crew were very wonderful,professional, and complete gentleman! They came in and got the job done , I couldnt be more pleased with these guys, highly recommended for sure! Thanks a million Jay!!!!!

I had water issues from leaks in the basement foundation. Armored Basement Waterproofing made the repairs necessary . They were informative and professional and I am very pleased with the quality of their work. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Great company! Loved everyone that I worked with from Tara to the guys that did the actual work. Thanks guys!

We had several people out to give us estimates on the water in our basement. Not only did Armored Basement have the best price they guaranteed the work including the sump pump. Working with everyone with this company was at the top of their game. The office staff quickly responded to all of my inquiries in my preferred manner of communication, Jay answered all of our questions when he came out for the estimate and the work was preformed timely, efficiently and effectively. We couldnt be happier with the results! We highly recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing and are grateful we chose them for our basement problems.

Love this company. From the person who answered the phone (Tara) to the person who came to my house (Jay)...I could not be happier. Why? They were my second quote on a basement water issue. Company Number One gave me two options: they could a) tear out my front porch and back deck and re-engineer the drainage around the exterior of my house or b) tear up the concrete in the interior perimeter of the basement and install an interior drain and sump pump.I called Armored Basement Waterproofing for a second quote. Jay asked all the right questions....had I seen any other signs of water, etc. (no) and said I should just get a cover for the window well and have the carpet cleaned. No damage to drywall, its just a thing that can happen if you dont have covers on your window wells and you get extreme rain. According to Jay, I DO have an interior drain (surprise) and the sump pump looks just fine. I nearly hugged him. He did tell me to keep an eye on it, but he could not see any reason to do any major work at this time.Seriously, Company Number One???? Honesty is the very best policy and Armored Basement Waterproofing is a company with integrity. I will never call another company in this line of work again. Jay and Co. saved me thousands of dollars.

We have been thrilled with the work of Armored Basement and would highly recommend them to anyone who is in the unfortunate position of dealing with water in a basement. They responded quickly to my initial call for a quote. Helped problem solve and talk through potential solutions to a complicated waterproofing job that resulted from flooding. They came in with a great price on the bid. And the work was performed on time and in a highly professional manner. Im grateful for their work and help on our basement!

We contacted several contractors for estimates to repair water problems in the basement. All of the contractors gave us reasonable estimates, but I liked the fact that Jay took a minimal approach and only suggested fixing the areas where the water was actually intruding. All other contractors wanted to install perimeter drains completely around our basement and claimed all cracks were from water pressure. Thus far, the basement has been dry and the drain installed in our basement window well drain is working perfectly. I would definitely recommend them.Shari Jackson

I’m admittedly a bit cynical when it comes to paying for house work to be done. I grew up in a contractor household so I prefer to do the work myself when possible instead of paying the high labor costs. Because of this, I looked at Armored Basement and other waterproofing service providers with a great deal of skepticism when researching who to go with for an interior perimeter french drain system.I took several estimates and no one felt quite right. I spoke with small operations and bigger operations like Mid-Atlantic. Mid-Atlantic had very high quotes and high-pressure sales which turned me off and the smaller operations didn’t appeal to me either.Armored Basement had the best online reviews and now I know why. Chris’ team was quick and efficient Jay was patient and explained the process thoroughly and covered any questions that I had. Their office manager Tara was responsive and very helpful.When the work was completed, my unfinished basement was pretty dusty and my belongings were a bit scattered but it was reasonable. There were a few surprises that I didn’t think about like the wiring component of the sump pumps. If you don’t have an outlet near your sump pump you’ll need to hire a licensed electrician to do the wiring.I haven’t been hit with any rain yet, but overall I’m happy with the service. Make sure to ask plenty of questions and keep the lines of communication open. Discuss ahead of time where you want things like discharge tubes and sumps placed and you will be a happy camper. Also, discuss what will need to be moved and when you can move it back.I recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing. They have great customer service, qualified experts, and prices that are hard to beat.

About a week ago I had Armored Basement at my house to waterproof our basement. Yesterday I had them come back and do one of my rental properties. Although it was a different crew of workers, they were as courteous and polite as the last crew. When I arrived at the location they were all ready there ready to work. Not a minute late. When showing them in they had put down runners to cover the wood floors and covered up my tenants belongs. After the work was completed the basement was cleaned up. There was an old area rug that was wet and moldy from water damage and when i asked if they could take the wet and moldy rug. He replies yes, and that was a huge problem that i no longer had to worry about. Thank you Armored Basement.

I just want to say these guys are the greatest, I called on a Friday someone came out to give me a estimate within a few hours as I requested. I liked the way jay presented himself as well as explaining to us what our options where. He was very polite and listened to all of our concerns. Which is very hard to find now days. The price was within our budget as well as cheaper then most estimates we received. We opted top go with Armored basements because of how knowledgeable they where. Not too mentions the price was 1200 cheaper then our cheapest estimate. We scheduled the process for the following Saturday the work was done to our satisfaction, the crew was clean and very concious of our belongings. They treated us like we where family and even gave our dogs treats. These guys did a fantastic job from A-Z. I have already reccomended them to my friend which was in need of her basement being done as well. I will give these guys a five star all the way around....Hard to find this type of workmanship and professionalism.

Ive already had my basement flooded a couple of years ago and a lot of my personal stuff were damaged. When I realized that my basement had another leak I was automatically upset and I realize I needed to resolve this problem ASAP. A friend of mine referred me to Armored Basement Waterproofing since they had previously done business with them and had all good things to say about this company. I contacted them and they came out that same day to give me a free estimate. The following day my basement was leak free and I felt pretty comfortable that the problem was resolved. Armored Basement Waterproofing was very knowledgeable and professional and I would definitely recommend this company to any and every one. Im a very satisfied customer!

I had a leak in my basement After getting estimates from several companies we decided to call Armored basement.. They came out the same day an gave me an estimate that was way better than the other three companies that came before. Jay explained everything in details about what need to get done to resolve the leak. A few days later they showed up on time like they promised started an completed the job that day...they cleaned up after the job was completed... I would recommend usingArmored Basement Waterproofing to anyone who needs their basement leaks fixed as well as waterproofing ect....

I am extremely impressed with the integrity, expertise and knowledge of this company. I had two well known waterproofing companies come out before calling armored waterproofing. Both B-dry and Mr. Basement misdiagnosed the problem which had a very simple solution. I have French drains that have been installed and two sump pumps (both working properly), however, with all the recent rain our basement has flood numerous times. I really couldn’t understand why there water in our basement since there is a drainage system already in place. The solution offered by B-dry was to dig up my backyard along the foundation, reinforce it and increase the width of the already installed drainage system. B-dry also stated that there are not enough weep holes in the walls and they would need to drill every three inches to relieve the water that is being housed in the wall. According to the tech, if I was to wait any longer the walls would crack and buckle and if that was to happen they would have to put in steel beams. He made it seem like there was a real urgency to get this work done or it would be Armageddon. He quoted $5000.00, but he said he would give me a deal at $4,500.00 after a 10% discount. I had scheduled Mr. Basement to make sure that what B-dry was saying is accurate. The tech from Mr. Basement came in looked around my basement for 5 minutes and said while my sump pumps are working, they are too small for the area and I needed install their no water system. He explained that my drains are being clogged and I needed a bigger sump pump like their system. Their system will vacuum water from the drains and I won’t have any flooding. I asked the tech from Mr. Basement if they are going to dig outside, he said no, you don’t need that, that’s a lot of money. I also inquired about drilling weep holes and the concern that the walls might buckle due to all the water being stored in them. The tech responded, they can drill more weep holes if I wanted them too, but the wall is not a concern and the system they will install is 100% guaranteed. Mr. Basement quoted me $3500.00 for their system and the work. Fortunately, I called armored and avoided paying thousands of dollars for something that is easily fixed with less than $100.00 in materials. Not only did they accommodate an earlier appointment date, but they came out after hours to check the problem. The tech explained that there is a very easy fix to my problem. I have recently finished and insulated my basement, due to the moisture in the walls when it rained the insulation was getting soaked and the water was not getting down into the drains. A piece of dry wall was removed and some water was ran to demonstrate that this is the root of the problem. The sump pumps did their job and so did the drainage system. The tech from armored explained that there are too many salesmen in the industry; they didn’t know where the problem was resulting from or didn’t care because they are trying to peddle their products. There was no charge for the visit, and not only did armored basement save me thousands of dollars if I went with one of the other companies, I would still have this problem occur. I am truly thankful to Armored basement for not taking advantage and helping me solve the problem!

Great company. Armored basement waterproofing did a excellent job with my basement. I recommend this company to anyone with water problems.

Loved these guys. They are so nice to deal with and they do great work!

Excellent experience. Armored was the last company of 4 to come out and quote our job. Jay was the only co to actually diagnose our problem (for free) instead of trying to sell us on something we didn’t need. The other 3 companies (all salesmen) quoted us $5-10k to do unrelated, unnecessary work, when all we needed was a $400 plumbing job. Jay saved us thousands of dollars even though it didn’t benefit him at all! That type of honesty is very refreshing, and unfortunately all too rare. I have already recommended Armored to all my friends and family in the area.

Armored basement waterproofing came out to my house to diagnose my basement water problem. Im so glad I called them. I had already planned on spending thousands of dollars to have the problem fied. However this company saved the day. After cutting some drywall out of the way. The inspector Jay found that a hole had been drilled into the wall by my electrician. To feed a wire outside. The the electrician failed to seal the hole. Jay took the time to seal the hole property. No more water. I asked him how much I owed him and he said dont worry about it. I love this company. If I ever have another problem this is who Im calling.

Honest company, top quality work, family owned and operated. By far the best in the business.

All I can say is thank goodness for Armored Basement! I cant say enough about how professional and honest this company is. I had a couple of other companies come out that wanted a few thousand dollars to fix a minor water problem. Jay came out and was able to get pics inside of our wall through an existing area that opened up (which btw no one else thought of!) and right away was able to diagnose the problem. He figured out it was more of a landscaping problem and we also needed to seal around our chimney something he felt we could do ourselves! Even though I didnt end up needing their services at this time, I am confident they would do great job and will call them for any future waterproofing needs for sure!

Excellent job! Water seeped into my basement pretty much every time it rained, and it was miserable. I did some research and called a couple of companies, but Armored Basement had the best explanation of what the problem was and what needed to be done. I researched them and read a lot of different reviews before going with them, and am glad I did. It was a pretty big job, but they were in and out in one day and did a great job. I used to worry every time we got a heavy rain, but now I dont even think about it. Jay and his guys did a great job, and I definitely recommend them!

I had the pleasure of working with Armored Basement on one of my investment properties. The basement had significant water issues so we interviewed 4 companies before deciding on Armored Basement. I was most impressed with the customer service side and consistent follow up throughout the process. The guys showed up on time and got the job done in one day. The dug the perimeter of the entire basement installed the drainage pipes, vapor barrier on the walls, 2 sump pumps, and drainage system in the window well. All work was done professionally with no issues. I look forward to working with them again on my next investment property.

Im not one who write reviews, however I had to take the time out to thank Armored Basement Waterproofing for putting my mind at ease. Its always easy to criticize businesses for not doing a good job but not give credit when exceptional customer service was given. Ive had several companies came out to give me an estimate for the leak I had in my basement. Armored Basement Waterproofing stood out the most because he was very knowledgeable, honest and most importantly he explained every single detail on what would have to be done to ensure that problem will be resolved. I felt more comfortable after talking with this company than any of the others. The job was completed in a timely manner and Im very satisfied. I would highly recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing to anyone who is encountering basement leakage.

Ive had basement water issues for years. I wasnt planning to deal with it, but we found a new house and decided to move. Now I was under a time crunch to get the existing house fixed and ready to sell. I called and spoke with Tara to get set-up for an appointment. Tara was great and answered all my initial questions. On estimate day, Jay (the owner) came out to my house and agreed to call me 30 minutes ahead of time so I could run home from work. Jay was already there when I arrived home. Jay did a full walkthrough both inside and outside of my house. Ultimately we decided on a new French drain along 2 walls and a sump pump. Jay also noticed a discoloration leak on the front wall and added remediation for that into the project. Chris led a team of 3 on construction day. They were on-time and very careful to keep the house clean. Chris reviewed Jays write-up with me and jumped right in. Start to finish was about 5 hours and the house was left in great shape. From start to finish, Armored Basement Waterproofing was great. I would recommend to all my friends and family.

Jay called me back within the hour after leaving a message requesting a quote. Was able to meet with me the next day and was quickly able to fully assess the issues, provide a solution and a fair, reasonable quote. He told me he would be able to get it done within the next 2 weeks (which was fine with me), but he got a crew out there just a couple days later and did all the work on Saturday and Sunday.They arrived punctually both days. Derrick and his crewed very friendly and polite and worked hard, fast, and well together. Derrick checked often with me while they were working to see if I had any questions and explained everything they were doing. They did all the required demo work to be able to access all the areas they needed to get to, including emptying a disgusting, moldy bomb shelter type of room under the front porch (I just purchased the property). It was a big job and I am shocked they were able to complete it all in just 2 days.An example of the amazing service: They originally trenched around an old disconnected heating oil tank, as he had discussed and agreed on. After speaking with a couple of the crew, I reconsidered and decided to remove the tank immediately. I hired another guy to take it away (free metal removal), but a couple of the guys jumped in to assist us with cutting it and carrying it out of the basement. This was way outside of their scope of work, but very much appreciated. They then went back and trenched against the wall where the tank had been removed from to be able to install the drain system around the perimeter, and then reconcreated the entire area. Also, I called Jay after they started working as asked how much to add an additional 80 feet or so of waterproofing liner beyond where we originally agreed. They did not charge me anything additional for all of these extra items. They really went above and beyond and it was very appearant that their main goal really was to make sure I was happy with the job they did.I renovate houses so I know I will need their services again at some point. I would never even consider using anyone else for any waterproofing needs. Thanks Jay!

We are new home-owners and knew about a wet corner in the finished part of our basement. The carpet covering that corner was constantly moist and we were made aware of that problem by our home inspector. We consulted two basement waterproofing companies who offered a free assessment of the problem. One company-representative had already come and it was obvious that he was a salesperson. He looked at the adjacent, not finished basement room, and saw cracks in the floor (which we knew about, we had a foundation repair already). He didnt look at other possible causes, but immediately held his prepared talk about water veins in the earth and how we needed a trench for a few thousand dollars, which would basically damage all our basement walls and would mean we would need to take out a newly installed shower as well. Later, my father-in-law discovered that the concrete of the driveway right above the wet corner was severely cracked forming a hole and that water poured there immediately drained down that crack. The salesman didnt even look at anything outside. Instead, I received multiple phone calls from him the following weeks, asking me to nail down a date to do the trench.Jay Bengston, the owner of the company and the second to assess our corner, came himself to do the inspection - no salesman or non-professional. He looked at the corner, inspected the walls of the unfinished part of the basement thoroughly, and looked at the outside of the house, too. He suspected the crack in the concrete as well and ran water down that crack for 15 min. with a garden hose he brought himself. The water immediately showed in the corner of our basement. He advised us, even though he wouldnt earn anything from us, that we should simply fix the concrete and see whether that would do the problem. Also he made us aware of the frame of our entry door, which is damaged by water as well. He also advised us on our rain gutters. He left without charging us one dollar. It became very clear to us that the first company we consulted sent a non-professional salesman to sell us their expensive product, which might not have even have solved the root of the problem. I can only recommend Jay Bengston and his company! He seems to be an honest and very experienced professional who would not do a job that wasnt necessary! If we ever had waterproofing issues again, we would definitely go with his company!

Great work. Great Price. Friendly crew

I interviewed 4 contractors, all of whom had A ratings on Angies List, to solve a wall reinforcing problem. Their recommendations ranged widely,as did the prices. The last contractor, Jay Bengtson of Armored Waterproofing, answered all my questions clearly, logically and completely; he also researched and sent me information on an alternative reinforcing method.Jays crew arrived punctually, and was professional in every way, considerate and polite. They worked industriously, completing the job in 2 days – demolishing existing studs, placing 10 I-beams, interior trenching and drainage system, concrete cover, white Duraskrim on all the walls, 2 new sump pumps, and all debris removed, including an old concrete laundry tub, which they replaced with a new one. The price was in the middle of the range of 4 proposals I received. The job was excellent, and I recommend them without reserve.

Wooooow where do I began, when water started trickling in my basement after a few rainy days I was extremely shocked! My house is only 11 years and all I could think was about I dont want my finished basement to get flooded. My HOA send out a book for the top rated company to use I called 3, 2 got a answering service and 1 came out. The company that came out tried to sell me waterproof system which required digging up the entire parameter of my house ohhh not to mention costs over 10k...What?!??? Frustrated to say the least, I decided to just ask Siri on my iPhone. I know it sound crazy but thank goodness I did. I asked Siri for the best waterproofing company near me and Shazam there it was Armored Basement! This was a Saturday mind you I called and they were open booked me an estimate right away! Jay came out on time very friendly and knowledgeable, identified the problem right away and got me in the schedule. Two gentleman came out about a week later fix the problem in less that 2 hours. They were very friendly and willing to answer all my questions my husband and I are confident that our problem is resolved! I would definitely recommend this company! Thank you Siri 🤗

WOW. I had a few companies come out to our house to diagnose a water issue in our basement. It seemed like it was ground water or maybe a problem with our french drain. The first two companies that came out wanted to charge us thousands of dollars to re-do our drainage system (and sign a contract). Jay Bengston came out to look at the problem, and diagnosed it as a leaking pipe! He diagnosed the problem correctly, even though it meant that he would get 0$ from us for his services. All we need now is a plumber. If I ever need waterproofing services, Ill be sure to us his company in the future. He was incredibly knowledgable and there was no BS from a salesman like a lot of the waterproofing competitors in the area. Incredible service.

They were affordable, professional, trustworthy.

Best in the business no doubt about it.

I received three estimates for waterproofing a portion of my basement where I was having a problem. Not only did Armored basement have the lowest price of the three, they also had the best plan for location of the sump pump. The other two companies would have had it located in a very visible and obtrusive location, but Armored placed it under the stairs, unseen and virtually without noise. Also, one of the other companies made me aware that there would be an awful lot of dust as a result of breaking up the concrete floor. Armored had a method that produced almost no dust at all.After the work was done (in one day), I noticed a very small leak coming from the discharge line. Armored Waterproofing fixed it a few days later in about 15 minutes.Jay was very friendly and answered all of my questions, and addressed all of my concerns. They offer a lifetime warranty on the work.
