Marcus and his crew are AMAZING! After noticing a wet rug in the basement, I asked four contractors to assess the problem. Three just looked at the basement and made recommendations. But Marcus more thoroughly evaluated the situation, including hosing the outside of the house to determine the source of the basement water. As a result, he was able to determine the best way to address the problem, installing a drainage system outside of the house, rather than inside as he initially suggested and other contractors recommended. Based on his assessment, Marcus created a well thought out, detailed plan. He was great at explaining the needed work and answering all my questions. Marcus’ impressive knowledge of his trade and problem solving skills are only surpassed by his commitment to helping customers. It was a difficult job. The house is built into a hill on rock ledge, so the crew encountered lots of rocks and tree roots, and had to lug equipment, materials and debris up and down the hill. But they weren’t daunted by the arduous labor required, even working until 10:30 one night to finish two dry wells before the rain predicted for the next day. The foundation was also parge coated, to repair numerous cracks and holes. The entire job was completed skillfully, with careful attention to detail. Marcus and his crew provided first rate, top-notch quality craftsmanship and were great to work with! I would HIGHLY recommend Effective Waterproofing to anyone needing waterproofing services.

Very please with Marcus and his father. They are terrific to work with. Marcus is a great communicator, assessed a crack in our foundation that was allowing water to seep in as well as additional cracks in the floor, and came up with a plan to resolve the problem at a fair price. They showed up on time and did a great job repairing all the cracks. They also worked well with another contractor we had working at the same time. I would highly recommend them.

Marcus and George did an excellent job resolving our foundation problem! They found the culprit, a crack running deep, fixed it and waterproofed the area inside and outside, treated the mold, and placed a sum pump to divert any water coming from the sloping backyard. And they did all this within the time promised! I highly recommend Effective Waterproofing team for their expertise as well as professionalism and value for the work quality! And they would clean the area daily which was a bonus!! Thanks a million from Teresa and Luisa.

Marcus and his crew did an amazing job getting my fieldstone foundation basement dry! The original plan to parge and paint was scrapped after he had already put a day's work into it. Marcus was still able to work within my budget to install a french drain system with a vapor barrier and sump basin and pump; in addition to a window well. I would recommend Effective Waterproofing to anyone without hesitation.
