Services
Our interior basement waterproofing solutions are custom designed for every home and building. First Choice Waterproofing installs the highest quality primary sump pumps and battery backup sump pumps on the market. Protect your home from water damage due to unwanted water and excess moisture in your crawlspace.
Weather conditions, poor foundation building materials, inadequate labor techniques, and other outside factors can cause severe water damage in the lower level of homes. The installation of a basement waterproofing system prevents the water damage from ruining the home, personal items, and causing other structural damage.
First Choice Waterproofing installs the highest quality primary sump pumps and battery backup sump pumps on the market. A home sump pump system works directly with a waterproofing system to prevent water and moisture from entering the basement. The system channels excess water through the perimeter drainage system to the sump pump system in New Jersey.
Although crawl spaces are great for your safety and extra storage, this area below the home is more susceptible to unwanted water left from weather, excess moisture, high humidity levels, and mold growth. Homeowners with crawl spaces need to be aware of these issues that can arise and invest in proper crawl space waterproofing systems to prevent damage.
Homeowners need to be aware of foundation issues to prevent extensive structural damage to their homes. Foundations must be sturdy and level to support a strong structure above the foundation. Cracks in your basement walls or floors may indicate a larger problem, such as foundation settlement, and require immediate professional attention.

First Choice waterproofing was able to get my basement waterproofed in a timely and cost effective manner in order to assist me in getting my home ready to sell.
However, after selling that property it was found that the work (electric in particular) was done to a sub-par standard, disallowing the buyers to obtain a certificate of occupancy.
When confronted with this information, the people at First Choice began to claim I had authorized an electrician to use substandard methods in order to get the job done - this was clearly untrue as I never spoke with an electrician AT ALL.

I've waited through two downpours before posting this review and haven't waded through any water -- the basement is dry as a bone.
First Choice planned the French drain system carefully and accomplished the work in one day. Mine was an old finished basement with built-ins and tight spaces. Two companies required extensive demolition. Steve was reassuring that the work could be done without it and he delivered on his promise.
Wilson is a true problem solver and engineered the discharge perfectly. He worked skillfully with a crew of six, needing only an even cut along the bottom of the wall. They

Excellent service, both installation & customer service. Great company to work & deal with!
After a first time flood in our basement, we needed a solution to make sure it NEVER happened again. We got estimates from a couple of companies & FIrst Choice Waterproofing was by far the best, both in cost and warranty. (You can't beat a lifetime warranty that passes on to the new homeowner if we sell).
Steve Crow was the first person we met. He explained the whole process very clearly & answered all of our questions. He was knowledgable, super nice, & very compassionate. He worked with us on scheduling

Steve and his crew were very professional and up front with everything. They were on time and reliable. I had a question on the Labor Day holiday and Steve answered my call and question even though it was a Holiday. They explained the process to us from start to finish and were happy help us understand the work they were going to do. There was no residual mess, the cleanup was great. I'd recommend these guys for sure.

Steve came to my house to evaluate a small water issue in my boiler room. He immediately assessed the problem as minor and said hat his firm doesn't perform that type of service. He then spent time showing me exactly what needed to be done to mitigate the problem. I appreciated his honesty and would recommend that Steve be called by anyone in need of his services.

My water proofing the basement project went very well. I had 200 linear feet of work done and it's a world of difference as the basement feels dry, love the clean walls and their special patterned produce. I would definetly recommend them to my family or friends. "First choice is the only choice to go with"

After noticing water on my basement walls I started calling around to various waterproofing companies. I then came across First Choice Waterproofing. We set up a meeting and Steve came out and explained the entire process for their waterproofing system and exactly how everything would work. After our meeting we signed right then and there. We scheduled them to come about a week later. When the work commenced it was a streamlined process. They were clean, efficient and fast. In just two short days the process was done and the basement looked great. The best thing of all is we now know that our basement

I contracted First Choice Waterproofing to help with the water problem in my basement over a year ago. The French drainage system was installed and has been functioning well since then. To my surprise, Steve recently called to ensure everything is still working right. I will definitely recommend this company for the excellent customer service and quality work.

Very pleased with the work. Workers arrived promptly and got right to work. They finished in two days and left my basement and property clean. They were friendly and pleasure to have doing the work. Now a dry basement, thank goodness.
