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

Bakers is the exclusive dealer and installer for the WaterGuard System in the region.

"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.

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."

Marty & Jen V. used Baker's Waterproofing services a few years before, to waterproof the basement in their former home. That is why when the driveway and sidewalk in their new home in Venetia, PA started to show signs of sinking, they knew just who to call.

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.

We completed the work in June 2000, and as of 2018 he is still enjoying a dry basement!

That is how he knew he couldn't have any other system installed in his own basement. "We chose Baker's Waterproofing primarily not because I work for them, but because we are the best in what we do. It is the best company I've worked for and I knew they would do the job right". - says Tom

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.
