I wish we knew about B Altman Basement Waterproofing before we had a parade of French Drain salesmen promising to cure our basement water problem at a very high cost to us. Unlike our neighbors, who did install French Drains that ultimately clogged and never cured the water seepage problems, we chose to fix the problem instead of allowing water to continually degrade the foundation footings. Thankfully, a construction expert recommended Barry Altman. Barry's expertise, professionalism, honesty, and long history of success was a breath of fresh air. He examined the basement and pinpointed the problem areas, explaining how the water was getting in and what he would do to permanently fix the problem. And he did just that, at a cost much lower than the average French drain installation. The job took just 2 days and Barry's men (Ramon and his partner) were on time, professional, and respectful. They left our basement immaculate and permanently protected against any water problems. After years of headaches, we finally have a dry, clean-smelling basement that we can use as extra living and storage space. The recent downpours and local flooding were the ultimate test of Barry's work and we're thrilled to say our basement is as dry as the upper rooms of our house. As my father used to say, a house is only as good as its foundation. And, thanks to Barry, our biggest investment has increased in value and will still be solid and dry decades from today. read more

From the first time Barry came to our house to review the scope of work and provide an estimate, we knew that we found the right guy for our waterproofing needs. He was extremely thorough in his review and took time to explain how they would approach our project. His pricing was very reasonable for the amount of work that was involved. We felt very comfortable moving forward with Barry and his team. As promised, Barry and his workers came to our house, on time, as scheduled, and got right to work. Their work was done neatly and his guys were professional in the way they carried out their work. Most importantly, their waterproofing work stopped the water from coming in. About a month later, we had an issue that was outside of the original work area, and asked Barry to come back and address this new area. He came back and set his guys up, and took care of everything, and was very reasonable on the cost for the extra work. Our basement has remained dry and we're very happy to use him in the future, should we need to. All in all, working with Barry has been a pleasure, especially considering that dealing with water issues are usually not a joyful experience. But when you have the right people in your corner, it makes all the difference. Thanks a lot Barry and team! Definitely recommend B. Altman for all your waterproofing needs!!! read more

Upon a recommendation from a friend, I called Barry of Altman's Waterproofing for help in repairing my foundation cracks. Barry came that same day, diagnosed the problem, explained what needed to be done, the procedure he was going to use and the materials needed (among them, liquid epoxy). Within a week my basement cracks were fixed. He also guaranteed his work for my lifetime, a guarantee that could also be transferred to the future owners of my house. Not only was the work neatly done but the entire area was washed down and the floor cleanly swept - making it unnecessary for me to do nothing but move displaced objects back into the area.

We had a bad crack in our foundation which caused a major water issue in our finished basement. As soon as we called Barry at B.Altmans, he came over and gave us a detailed outline of what was needed and that the product and method he uses eliminates any outside digging or French drain. He gave us a very fair price and instructed us to make sure the wall was dry and then the work could be done.

We are very happy with his work and highly recommend his company. read more
