Testimonials for Baker's Waterproofing

Keith explains why he chose Baker’s Waterproofing over other companies in the area to fix his leaking foundation.

The Indiana, PA house that's been home to John A. and his family since 1957 has always had a damp basement. Basement water problems eventually turned into basement flooding episodes and led to structural foundation issues.  John decided to look for help and had the first company who came out to give him an estimate didn't really impress him. They didn't seem to have solutions to address all the problems he had. His father in law suggested Baker's Waterproofing based on the recommendation of an old friend who has a great experience with the company. When the system design specialist came to his home for an inspection and quote, was very impressed with the inspection and thorough explanation, with the products and solutions he proposed, and with the warranty offered. The fact that Baker's is a reputable, local, family-owned and operated business that has been doing business in Tri-State area (PA, WV and OH) since 1975 gave John the assurance he needed to know that Baker's was the right company for the job. "When they did the job, they came in on Monday morning and finished the entire job by Thursday afternoon and everything was cleaned up. We started with a very wet basement. We haven't had a drop of water ever since. So we are very pleased!" - says John

In 2001 Wanda R. was shopping for a new house and found the perfect home for her family in Brownsville, PA , Or almost perfect. There were cracks on the wall, including a big one along the entire back foundation wall, and water in the basement.  Wanda would have walked away from that deal, and from the chance to own her dream home. Fortunately the real estate agent, the home inspector, and the structural engineer assisting her in the buying process explained that the problems in the basement could be easily fixed by the right company.They all recommended Baker's Basement Systems for the job and even though she could have researched other companies she decided to trust her sources and the company they so highly recommended. "It really saved me a lot of time and anxiety that I was able to trust those sources and not have to worry about that at that time when I was making so many other decisions." -- says Wanda. More than ten years after Baker's Waterproofing fixed the basement, it is still dry as a bone, and the structural engineer who was recently there for the periodic inspection informed that the foundation walls haven't moved at all since Baker's stabilized them with a wall anchor system. As for the overall experience with Baker's "Everything went seamlessly. For all those reasons I continue to recommend Bakers. "

Florine M. 's home in McMurray, PA had a large and very wet basement, where mold and musty smells were becoming a huge issue. She called five different companies looking for a solution for these problems. Among them was Baker's Waterproofing, which came highly recommended by several of her neighbors who had used their services in the past. After looking at all their options, Florine chose Baker's Waterproofing for a number of very good reasons. She was very impressed by with the patented WaterGuard interior drainage system, which looked like a fairly superior alternative to the generic corrugated fabric offered by the other companies. Bakers is the exclusive dealer and installer for the WaterGuard System in the region. The system designer specialist who came to her house, was very thorough in his inspection and took the time to explain the causes of the problem, develop a customized solution to fit her needs and budget, and design a plan letting her know exactly what to expect before, during and after the job was completed. "I would recommend Baker's because of the professionalism, because of the products that they use, and I feel that the lifetime warranty that goes with me and goes with the next owner of my home, I thought those are all good, beneficial reasons why my neighbors or my friend should chose Baker." concludes Florine.

After many years struggling with basement water intrusion problems in his Shaler, PA home, Tim D. decided to call Bakers Waterproofing for help.  The french drain installed outside the house wasn't working and after every rain storm, water will appear in several areas of the basement. A basement Tim hoped he could use some day. He had gotten proposals from five other companies in the area, but Bakers Waterproofing was the only one presenting a solution that made sense to him. Tim says he would recommend Bakers Waterproofing to a friend or family member for three reasons: the no-pressure sales process, the superior quality of the WaterGuard drainage system in comparison with what was being offered by the competition, and the professionalism of the installers, who arrived timely, took great care of his property, and delivered on time.

The Valentics have been close friends of the Baker family for years, so when Marty and Jennifer discovered a wet basement in their Washington home and, later, an uneven driveway at their current home in Venetia, they knew who to call. "This changed our home for the better, because we were able to finish the game room. When we sold the house a few years later, that was one of the big selling points. We added a lot of livable square footage that, prior to us having Brian come out and the company doing the work, would've been unusable space." "For the home we live in now, we were worried with the settling sidewalk outside of our front door and the uneven driveway. The leveling process seemed very complicated, but after the guys did it, seemed relatively simple. I feel more comfortable with the kids playing basketball out on the driveway, because I know they won't sprain their ankles."

Bill had been experiencing basement water problems for years. He tried everything he could to fix the issue from re-grading to installing an external French drain. It worked for a while, until water made it through his foundation yet again, and he grew tired of it. That is when he hired Baker's Waterproofing. We completed the work in June 2000, and as of 2018 he is still enjoying a dry basement!

Dave Cain and his crew were perfect examples of Baker's employees...the kind of people you want in your house...friendly, kind, "get to your work and get it done right" people. They got the work done in a timely way and left the basement probably cleaner than they found it. Over the years I have told people about Baker's and especially how capable and nice the employees are. Thank you for doing a wonderful job for us. You are the best.
