Great Basement Waterproofing: 4-Ever Water-Tite

Need help Choosing a Waterproofing Company or Contractor? I had a great experience with 4-Ever Water-Tite at my Ferndale residence.

There isn’t a specific method for choosing the right basement waterproofing company, but I found a few things that made my choice easier, before I chose 4-Ever Water-Tite. I based my choice on the following items and I could not have been happier!

The Better Business Bureau is a great resource for customers to rate a company’s performance. The BBB covers complaints and investigates how the company handled those complaints. This can indicate how much a company stands behind their service and products. 4-Ever Water-Tite is accredited on the BBB with an A+ rating and when I scheduled my waterproofing they had no complaints filed against their business.

Company history

A reputable basement waterproofing company should have an established and verifiable history of taking care of their clients. 4-Ever Water-Tite has been in business since 2000, and has a large customer base.

Awards and certificates

Basement waterproofing companies that are leaders in the industry will have received awards and certificates showcasing their talents and ability to provide quality service for their customers. 4-Ever Water-Tite has won numerous awards, including Angie’s List Super Service Award three times in a row.

License and Insured

Never hire any contractor who isn’t licensed and insured. Every one of 4-Ever Water-Tite’s installers meet all licensing requirements, and they are insured well beyond the cost of my entire property.

Written Contract, Guaranteed & Free Estimate

Written contracts are necessary to protect both you and the contractor. A red flag should go up anytime a waterproofing company suggests doing a job without having it in writing. Always get any guarantees and warranties in writing before the job starts. 4-Ever Water-Tite provided me with a written estimate and a professional contract. They also guarantee their work with a transferable lifetime warranty.

Conclusion

Regardless if you need only a sump pump installed, crawl space encapsulation, or foundation repairs, 4-Ever Water-Tite has a proven track record. I would recommend them for any basement waterproofing that you might need. I had an interior system installed and I could not be happier. There is no more water in my basement and I think I might hire 4-Ever Water-Tite to finish my basement. I hear they do a great job remodeling as well.
