Questions to Ask Your Basement Waterproofing Contractor

As a homeowner, you should have some questions prepared anytime you get work done around the house that requires professional attention. The house you have might be the biggest financial investment you ever make in your life, and you should be fully aware of what goes on inside. This is equally true for when you hire a contractor for waterproofing areas prone to water damage.

Making sure you ask smart questions and inquire about the processes involved is the best way to ensure you can understand why the problem occurred. It’s also the best way to ensure the contractor you’re speaking to is someone you want to hire

What Are My Options?

Some people think they can research their way through a professional problem, but that’s likely not going to be the case. You won’t be able to google a better understanding than someone who does the work for a living.

The idea here is to get familiarized with the different methods of waterproofing that are applicable to the problem you are facing. Every solution has its pros and cons. Knowing what they are can help you make the decision on what gets done to your house.

Are You Licensed? Are you Insured?

The area you live in will have its own laws and regulations put in place for which changes can be made to houses. This means that all contractors have to follow set guidelines in their work and submit certain paperwork to be licensed by the local municipality.

A licensed contractor will also have taken tests to ensure their work is safe and reliable. Asking for the license or insurance details may be awkward, but it’s the best way to make sure you’re working with a legal and reliable service provider.

Are There Any Guarantees/Warranties?

If you get a system installed in your house for waterproofing, or if you get some repair work done for any water damaged caused, you should know if there is a guarantee it will last. Ask if the company provides any guarantees for their services or if there are any warranties provided for anything installed in the house.
