Before Choosing a Basement Repair Contractor

How to Choose a Basement Contractor Windsor Essex Chatham Kent London 36Here are seven points to consider if you are looking for a contractor to repair your wet basement:

  1. The number of years the company has been in business.
  2. Testimonials or reviews from past customers.
  3. Is the company registered with the Better Business Bureau, and what is their standing?
  4. Does the company offer warranties? Are the warranties transferable?
  5. Does the company have a full-time service department?
  6. Does the company dabble in many aspects of home repair, or focus solely on basements?
  7. Does the company offer financing?

If you are experiencing a leaky basement, you likely want a permanent solution… and fast! Before booking the first available contractor, please consider:

  • The demand for basement repair specialists depends on the weather. If a contractor is readily available to immediately start the job, you might take pause.
  • An accurate inspection can take upwards of an hour. The basement is a complicated area of the home with many components. Attention to detail during the inspection will lead to a more accurate understanding of the problem and ultimately the best solution.
  • The repair estimate should be documented, detailing not only what needs to be done, but also why it needs to be done.
