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, I’ll be sure to use his company in the future. He was incredibly knowledgeable and there was no BS from a salesman like a lot of the waterproofing competitors in the area.

Incredible service.

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, it’s just a thing that can happen if you don’t 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.

Here are a few of our latest reviews:

18 August 2014 – “Better than I could have expected.  I made an appointment for Jay to come and inspect my basement because we were having a problem with water leaking in during heavy rains.  Jay was the 4th contractor we spoke with about our problem.  Unlike the previous 3 companies, all of whom recommended various sizes of french drain systems, Jay provided a unique solution that was based on what he saw, was reasonable in scope, and (shockingly) did not involve his company!  Jay recommended that we regrade in a couple of places outside the house rather than do any other type of remediation.  Each of the 3 other contractors recommended putting in french drain systems that would require jack-hammering out much of our basement in addition to pulling apart a recently installed bathroom and cost in one case tens of thousands of dollars.  Jay was absolutely focused on identifying the source of the water and recommending the right solution – not selling his services – and I am truly grateful for his honesty and integrity.  I will call him again if we have any other water issues.”

13 August 2014 – “I contacted Armored Basement Waterproofing for help and assistance with an ongoing leak on the first floor of my three story townhouse.  I had contacted several others waterproofing contractors over the past 3 – 4 months with mixed to no response because my problem wasn’t in a basement under ground.  The ones that did come by recommended a sump pump solution to the tune of $4000 – $6000, that would require foundation drilling, which didn’t sit well with me.  When I contacted Armored Basement Waterproofing, they stressed that they would search to find where the leak originated before recommending a solution and they did!  Armored Basement found that my leak was being cause by over grading of the ground between my next door neighbor and myself, e.g., it was graded to high and water was coming in between the structure and the foundation. Their Expert showed me the problem in grading, tested the area to ensure it was where the leak was, dug out and leveled off the ground properly to allow correct drainage, and only asked that I provide them with a good review on Angie’s List.!  The Armored Basement Expert was the only service provider that took the time to inspect my problem, test to ensure it was the problem, and take the proper action to resolve the problem.  I highly recommend them and will being contacting them again should the need arise!!! THANK YOU ARMORED BASEMENT WATERPROOFING!!!”

I’ll leave you with one question.  Why call anyone else and risk dishonest pushy sales techniques?  Call Armored Basement Waterproofing for a free inspection, zero sales pressure, and an honest assessment.
