E & M Waterproofing

Pictures don’t really do it justice. They did an incredible job with the dry well that they added to our house. They removed and replaced the old one which wasn’t functioning and was also flooding our basement.

E&M recently installed a French drain in our basement. Very easy process from the quote through to installation. The crew that did the install showed up ready to work hard and paid attention to detail as well as answered any questions we had throughout. The owner also came on-site as well as followed up afterwards to ensure we were satisfied. Great job.

Eddy and his crew were a pleasant experience from start to finish. No sales pitching, No BS, No bad-mouthing other companies (like all of the others did). Great results and appropriately priced work. Basement perimeter drain was installed and cleaned up in half of a day! Just short of miraculous.
This is the company with which to do business.
Eddy, thanks again! System works 100% as expected.

My basement was flooded after tropical storm Elsa, so I requested E&M waterproofing to come take a look and to give me an estimate. Matt came to look at my basement and then he said that what I needed was just to install window wells around my basement windows. He even told me what to get from home depot and how to do it. What an honest man and business. I have never seen anything like that. If I ever have any water problem in the future, I know for sure who to call. Call them. You won't be disappointed!!

I am a tough critic and normally visibly and verbally dissatisfied with customer service and experience. E&M Waterproofing is the exception. Ed is fabulous and their work is top notch. After doing some work for us months ago we had what we thought was a problem with flooding. turns out it was not flooding. Ed was here in 15 minutes to diagnose the situation, find the problem, (faulty de-humidifier) and leave happily without any charge. He is the best!!!

When hiring a contractor to do work on your house, you hope they’re professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and that they do a good job for a reasonable price. Ed and his team are just that. Ed diagnosed the problem and he and his team fixed it. They had to dig along a specific section of my foundation, repair any cracks and attach a water barrier to the foundation. They were mindful of my in the ground sprinklers and replanted the plants and bushes that they needed to temporarily move. Everything put back perfectly.
I waited a year to write this review and my basement is still bone dry. I wouldn’t

We have been using Eddie for the past 10 years. I've never come across a more professional, hard-working, kind man that you know you can trust and will be there in the blink of an eye to offer help. He stands by his work 100%. Living in an area with a high watertable, our crawlspace is bone-dry because of him. He has come back numerous times to tweak our dewatering system to make it better for us. Thank you for your hard-work Eddie, there aren't many guys out there like you anymore.

I wanted to update my review about six weeks later. I am still so happy with the job E & M Waterproofing did on our home. It's been snowing so much and lots of rain and melting so glad we are still dry. I am so glad we did not go with the company that viewed me only as dollar signs and wanted to go with a nuclear solution like a french drain that would have just let water continue to flow into my basement and be pumped out. It may not have even worked and I was going to have to replace all tile/dry wall in my basement.

Eddie suggested the problem be tackled from the outside rather

So I wake up in the morning and step down onto my rug, my first thought is "is the rug really cold, but no...can't be...water" "fml". The water was coming from the space where the tile meets the wall.
I went onto Home advisor and requested contractors to contact me for quotes for whatever it is that had to be done. I had three quotes.
-The first from Vulcan. Vulcan came out and just looked at the inside of my basement then gave the quote around $3,700 which included excavating, ripping up some tile adding a tube along to a sump pump they would install. The quote included

Had some water in the basement that was seeping through the rotted wooden frame / siill that sits along the top of the concrete foundation. I could not see this or did not know this but his estimator came out a few weeks ago and explained this and gave me a quote for a repair. A number that I felt was very fair and reasonable given the expertise needed and the labor to be performed.

Eddie called a day later to review quickly, and we set a date for the repair.

He called again, texted actually, the day before the work was to be done, to confirm he was coming at 8 am the next day.

They showed

Whelp! My basement continued to flood and I needed to move forward with the install. I would absolutely recommend them. This team came and moved so efficiently I was able to go into work that same day. The owner showed up towards the end of the install and went over everything they did. That night we had a ton of rain and even with the tarps removed there was no leakage. I will absolutely be using them for the other side of my house when I have my driveway redone.

You can't beat these guys. They're prices are reasonable and they work fast and neat. They even replanted some bushes that needed to be dug out.
I have a background in construction and the two other contractors I called wanted to install french drains and sump pumps, which was way beyond what was required for the modest amount of water I was getting in this basement.
Steve came, looked the job over and his solution was in line what I thought was required. The price he gave me, then and there, was very reasonable. In fact it was a fifth of french drain guy one and an eighth of french

This company was super fast in returning my call, spoke with Eddie, who was super honest and knowledgeable. Saved me from costly and unnecessary repairs. I would highly recommend them.

We have been using E & M for over twenty years and they have been a pleasure to work with . I would highly recommend anyone with waterproofing or sump pump problems to use them. My husband is a general contractor and has used them professionally and in our own home. Excellent ,prompt and professional service.

I just want to thank Eddie and his team for being upfront, honest folks, which are hard to find in the industry. I had a few leaks in my basement which led me to consult a few other basement companies whom all guided me to French drains costing 10k+. I was blown away by the cost and magnitude of the work needed for just a few basement cracks. Eddie came by our house and basically told us there is no need to do a French drain as it was overkill. He recommended we waterproof our main leak and then he would patch up a smaller leak for free, all at a fraction of the cost of his competitors. It’s

Ed was most professional when he came. While his is a top-level, highly rated business with rave reviews of his work, surprisingly, he is NOT out to enrich himself and profit from the problems of others. He explained that first I needed to do basic things to divert the water from coming into my home, and later if the problem still existed, I would need to contact him to get a french drain. I have to say that I have never met anyone more helpful or honest. If you have a problem with water entering your home, Ed is the first person anyone should call! Extremely thorough, helpful, and honest! It does

I dont know why, but these guys charged me 7,000$ less than the next closest estimate for the french drain in my basement. And as far as i can tell the work they did was awesome. the owner answers my calls immediately for any question. My basement which had serious water issues has been dry ever since. Fo real

Eddie, the owner, came to our house to give us an estimate. He seemed very honest and was not looking to just make a buck off of us, like other companies do. Upon inspecting, he wanted to help us resolve our problem by finding the root of the cause. Although he was unable to help us because the problem seemed to be out of his expertise, he suggested where we can go to find the right people to help us. I highly recommend them.

Eddie came early this morning on a recommendation. He wasn't trying to up-sell us anything or talk us in to any overkill remedies for our basement.

Was completely straight and told us that the basement is fine, to do some grading of the dirt outside and tweaks on the gutters. Said he doesn't want to waste our money on something we don't need.

A real class act!

I would highly recommend E&M waterproofing - they solved a number of leaks and water issues in the basement of a newly purchased house. Ed took the time to make sure the job was done correctly: I can attest that his guarantee on his work is a true commitment to his customers! Ed solved persistent issues that other waterproofing companies couldn't.
Ed also installed a de-humidifier in the basement after I was very satisfied with his waterproofing work. This was a great choice and using Ed and E&M waterproofing was one of the best decisions I made after purchasing my new house.

Eddie was amazing! All contractors should behave as professionally as he did. He was honest and refused to sell us anything because he said our situation did not warrant the kind of solutions that cost extensive amounts of money. He gave us simple, inexpensive solutions. I was so impressed with his knowledge. On another note, as a woman I am not surprised when contractors only speak to the men. I am a woman who takes an active role in "typical" male scenarios. He spoke directly to both my husband and me and couldn't have been more professional, kind and informative. I only wish

Fantastic! After the amounts of rain we just had proves that their solution worked! Steve came for my estimate and after getting others I called Steve back because I was confused that everyone had something different to say. He was patient & explained everything. I felt very comfortable & trusted what he said. The guys arrived on time! They were friendly & knowledgeable. They dug out about 12' around my house. There was no mess when they left. All the dirt where is was supposed to be. They even saved me some big rocks for my garden. I highly recommend E&M!!!

I had a crack repaired earlier this morning by E&M waterproofing. They were punctual, professional and Eddie even showed up to the job site which I appreciated. If I ever decide to fully finish my basement...there is no doubt that I would call them.

Their prices are fair ( even got a second quote ) and come with a 10 year warranty...at least for my service.

I try to leave positive and negative reviews on Yelp to help my neighbors....E&M is good to go IMO.

I had some water issues in my basement, and set up an appointment to see what could be done to fix the issues. Matt came to give me an estimate, and he was not only knowledgeable but beyond honest about giving me a solution to my problems. Matt explained I didn't have any major issues, explained what was causing the minor issues, and how to fix them. It turns out it was an easy fix? and could be done by myself. Even though I didn't use their services, I am confident that they are a good company. It's hard to find an honest company that tells you what's wrong, without just selling

Eddie the owner is super knowledgeable. Crew arrived on time and did a clean, thorough job installing a French drain in my basement. Very competitive pricing as well. Happy, dry basement owner here! Highly recommend!

Just used these guys today. I found them Home Advisor, which is very good by the way. They were professional and quick. I didn't have to do anything to prepare the area. They showed me a video of what they did. I had a crack in my boiler room that was allowing water to creep in. Sealed it from the outside and now I have no worries. Would absolutely use them or recommend.

This company is very professional. They arrived on time and provided a detailed plan to trouble shoot my issues. There are a lot of shady contractors and "specialists" in NYC so finding a good one isn't easy. I highly recommend them this company.

It is all about customer service with E&M. Eddie and his team did a great installation and have followed up on any issues and needed tweaks over the past 7 years.
a model for all contractors!
