FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Atlantic Coast Waterproofing will schedule a free interior/exterior basement inspection for the homeowners. We will then sit down with the owners and explain a little bit about ourselves, and the basements overall condition. From quoting to design and installation, you will be actively involved in the process and be able to speak with us every step of the way.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Our company was founded by my father in 1972. I got my start in this business in 1985. My father had me learn this industry from the ground up. As a young man I worked as a laborer learning my father's trade. Since then I have installed thousands of jobs and have never looked back. In 2007 my wife and I took the corporation over and I am considered an active owner. I enjoy bringing my knowledge to the customer and serving them over the competition.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
In our industry I believe there are two types of customers, pro-active and re-active. A pro-active customer will have us waterproof all four walls knowing that a faulty drainage system installed by the builder will eventually cause more problems in other areas. This type of customer might also be finishing their basement. A re-active customer may have us do partial work. They believe where the water is coming in is the problem and not the symptom. This type of customer might be selling the home and would let the new owner deal with any new basement leaks.
