Waterproofing Specialties, Inc. eliminated water from my basement, and gave me more usable space. I had called local companies to do the job, but they never called back, or wasn't interested into doing the job. Waterproofing Specialties was very prompt and very pleasant to work with. I have had water in my basement for many years, and they did a wonderful job eliminating it. I recommend them highly. Thank you!

I am very satisfied with the work Waterproofing Specialties did for me. No more water! My peace of mind was worth every penny. My only regrets is that I did not do it years ago!

For many years I struggled with a damp, soggy basement. Many attempts to correct the problem was never successful. I saw the waterproofing system advertised in my local newspaper. I researched the system and it sounded like the answer to my problem, so I contracted to have the system installed in my basement. The work was done in a very prompt manner. The installers were very neat workers and did an excellent clean-up afterward. Now, under all weather conditions my basement is dry and no musty odor. The waterproofing system is one of the best investment that I ever made. I strongly recommend it to anyone with a water problem. The waterproofing has increased the value of my home. c

We wished we had done this years ago when we purchased the house.  The guys came on time,  finished when they said they wood and cleaned up nicely.   Thanks again!

They do nice work and clean up the mess that they made.  They do their job quickly and efficently.  Before they came my basement flodded to some extent when it was raining hard.  Now my basement is dry even when it is raining hard outside.  I am very pleased with the job that did for me.  It was well worth the time and expense to have the work done.  Now I don't need to worry when it rains.

I was very pleased in the workmanship and the time it took to do my basement. I have had no water come in since it was installed. The job was completed in one day, they cleaned everything up and left my basement neat as a pin. I highly recommend Waterproofing Specialties, Inc. for that is what they are "Specialists".

Now we have no water and do not have to worry every time we get a storm or when the snow melts.  This is real piece of mind.  The workers were very quick and professional.  Thank you!!!

The system you did in the basement is great! No wet spots even with the spring rains. We did new windows several years ago and I thought that was the best investment we ever made, but you run a close second. Thanks much.

I consider the waterproofing at our church one of the best things we have done. The basement is fully able to be used, no water puddles anywhere. We are very satisfied with the work done and no more mopping up the water filtering into the fellowship area. Thanks so much for a job well done.

We are totally satisfied with the Dry Trak system that was installed in our basement. We no longer have a wet basement, since the house was built over a spring. We are able to enjoy it for the first time ever. We’ve lived here since 1970; the basement was always off limits. Thanks to Mr. Pura, that has all changed. My husband has an art studio, which he could not use before. We had one experience where it failed, only because the electric was off 5.5 hours.

We had cracks occur in one of our basement walls. We were concerned that the wall would continue to crack and eventually fall in. We had Waterproofing Specialties come in and put the braces on the wall to secure the wall. It is and amazing process and so far we have no new problems.

In the past, most heavy rainfalls caused our basement to get wet. After having your system installed 2 years ago, we have had no water.

The installation of “Water Guard” in a problem area of the basement took care of the water problem in that area. I am considering having another problem area of the basement done.

Not long after your work was completed, and you and your boys did and outstanding job! We installed new vinyl and carpeting in this church’s basement. Wow; what a difference! What a tremendous improvement! Then it rained, and rained for days on end, yet there was no moisture what so ever in the church basement. Instead, the water ran through the WaterGuard and the pump eliminated it. Were it not for what you did, several thousand dollars worth of carpet and vinyl would have been completely ruined, and many hours of labor totally wasted. We are profoundly grateful for your handiwork and advice. No more dampness; no more mildew; no more water damage. Honestly these people – some of them – were skeptical at the beginning; you’ve made believers of them and gave them back a real sense of pride in their church. Now they love showing people the basement!!

I had several issues with my basement. Humidity problems not solved by my dehumidifier; dampness in the crawlspace; and stone/brick walls that were beginning to leak. Waterproofing Specialties solved all three problems. In addition, leaking water from the basement door area was channeled to a drain. The basement is now dry.
