Waterproofing a home calls for significant skill, which is why you should only consider licensed, fully insured and certified contractors.
Ask your friends, family and colleagues if they’ve had similar work done and which contractors they trust. Review all contracts carefully before you sign anything.
When interviewing contractors, ask yourself:
- Are they courteous and professional?
- Are they respectful of my property?
- Did they give me a detailed explanation of the problem and propose solid solutions?
- Will they give me a written estimate?
- Will they provide references?
- Do they have the required licenses?
Here are several questions that you should ask a waterproofing company as you search for the right service. Make sure to ask them all and find the right fit for your needs.
More importantly, it means that they have the experience and know-how to complete your project. They’ve seen almost everything that could possibly go wrong, so your waterproofing problem will not overwhelm them.
Experience is the key – Questions to ask.
- How Much Experience Does Your Team Have?
- Are You Licensed?
- Are you insured?
That means things such as liability insurance and workers’ compensation are non-negotiable. What if one of their workers gets injured on the job? What if their employee makes a huge mistake that compromises your basement walls?
- Do You Have References for Me to Call?
Many people make the mistake of taking the company’s word for their previous services. What kind of company doesn’t think they’re doing a good job on their projects? Their word isn’t absolute.
Any company with integrity will be more than happy to refer you to at least three references that you can call.
Maybe these references will start singing their praises, maybe they’ll just tell you about the great customer service. Either way, their approval is a good sign of high quality.
- What Are Your Recommendations for My Problem?
Different contractors have different answers, so don’t be afraid to ask around and see the different solutions that they propose.
- What’s included In Your Warranty?
Also, ask them about the duration of the warranty. How long do they provide it and what’s the best way to contact them in case something goes wrong?
