BASEMENT CONSTRUCTION, US

Willie "The Basement King" has just finished the repair job on my wet basement. I had a beautifully finished basement until rainwater began seeing in. Willie and his guys did an excellent job drying out and waterproofing my basement. They also installed a sump pump underground along with... read more a professional style dehumidifier. They took care of everything in exactly the time I was told it would take. They were on time every morning and they worked until they got done what needed to be done. Willie is a very nice fellow and has a very confident attitude which actually made me feel a little better about my situation. If I ever hear of anyone having basement issues, I know who I'll tell them to call. Myself? Willie says I won't be having any more trouble with mine. Perfect.

I only have praise for Mr. King and his work on our basement. He came out, evaluated the job and sent a detailed estimate. When I called to ask questions, he took the time to address them all, in detail. He worked hard everyday until the job was... read more done, staying within the time limit estimate he gave us. Mr. King took many photos of the progress to show us the completion and he stayed within the estimate he gave us. He is extremely knowledgeable in basements and stays current of new things. He has contacted us a few times since completion to make sure all is well. I highly recommend him and am thankful to have found him.

Willie is extremely knowledgeable and removed all concerns with any future leaks. Great experience!!!

Willie King provides exceptional service for me on a regular basis. He is very professional, extremely knowledgeable and highly responsive if needed. I would highly recommend him for regular basement sump system maintenance and for complete renovation of those same systems.

It is hard to put into words, what Willie and his team pulled off in our home. We had 7ft of water in our basement when he arrived on the scene. He counseled us on water movement and management, he spent the extra time to ensure we understood... read more the entire process. Let’s talk Warranty service. When you hear Willie explain his lifetime warranty it feels unreal. Quite the contrary. With the complexity of our project he asked us to watch how things changed after his first session in the basement. We worked together to identify and attack the areas water was entering and he was able to work it all the way out of our home. Integrity Honesty Successful water eradication On time

It's been three years ago that I found The Basement Kings and they installed a sump pump and added some rock to help with drying up our crawl space. It worked like a charm, and they were very good at the work, worked hard, on time, honest and... read more good to work with which is hard to find these days! We had to replace one that failed in the first year but now two years later we're still chugging along and they will come out and inspect annually. Good guys! Thank you.

Update: Pump just needed a small adjustment. Contacted Willie and he came out personally and fixed it quickly. He backs up his promises and guarantees with solid actions! Awesome job! So grateful to have found The Basement Kings! Spoke with Willie regarding a sump pump situation. They... read more arrived within two days and installed the best sump pump system I’ve ever seen. Very professional and very high quality components. They understood exactly what we needed and did a fantastic job at a fantastic price! They went above and beyond what was requested and even did some extra work I didn’t expect. Shout out to Willie, Wayne, and Vincente! Thank you for a great job!

I was interested in purchasing a very expensive resale home with an unfinished basement but it had water intrusion and efflorescence issues that the previous homeowner was clueless about. Most Texans haven't even heard of efflorescence but it's the build-up of calcium and mineral deposits on the basement... read more wall (from hard water that penetrates the pores of concrete walls and leaves deposits after evaporating) that can be conducive for mold growth. Being from the east coast where basements are very common, I personally know how difficult it is to find a competent basement water proofing specialist even when there are tons of vendor options available. I was fortunate to find The Basement Kings who were willing to come out to East Texas, but my understanding is that they service the entire state and even Oklahoma now. The owner graciously talked to me for an hour as I interrogated his background and experience, testing to see if he actually knew his stuff. The owner was originally from the east coast also and very familiar with basement issues and related repairs. He also builds basements for new residential and commercial structures and can even retrofit them into existing buildings. The Basement Kings took several days to do the job where flat pipe was installed along/under the inside perimeter of basement where the wall meets the slab floor. The flat pipe is inclined to drain towards a bell-shaped sump basin in the corner. The shape is important to help prevent short cycling of the sump pump, otherwise the pump can wear out more quickly. The pump is hooked up to a backup battery with an alarm to help notify of insufficient power availability. The basement walls were coated with a proprietary waterproofing solution to close up the pores in the concrete/cinder block walls, and then a thick sheet of vapor barrier was installed from floor to ceiling. Finally, commercial-strength dehumidifiers were installed to help control humidity to the proper levels. For your awareness I did have to cover additional expenses like paying for an electrician to put the sump pump on a dedicated circuit, and also an irrigation company to install a French drain on the exterior of the basement's walk-in entrance. The repair effort was expensive, but there is comfort in knowing that the quality of work performed by The Basement Kings was high and 18 months later the results are holding up well.

The team of basement king was very professional and clean with their work when they water proofed my crawl space Mr. Is top notch

Great business! Super quick to find and fix repairs around the basement. Would definitely recommend them for basement maintenance.

Answer my question with good understanding.

I I had major drainage problems with a leaking basement. Willie has spent 3 weeks re-engineering my whole basement and as today we're almost done. My brother is structural engineer and he and Willie came up with an amazing plan. Willie is prompt, professional and... read more smart as anyone I know. He cleans up every night and put all his tools away. If you need the BEST you need Willie. FYI my brother needed some information on a product that was made in Canada. The salesperson ask who my contractor was and my brother said Willie King. The salesperson started laughing and said “Willie King is our go to guy. He the best in the business”. If you want it done right you need WILLIE!!

I needed information on a service they couldn't provide but they generously guided me on what should be done and referred me to a reasonably priced business that could.

We engaged Basement Kings for crawlspace inspection and cleanup services. Mr King did a wonderful job in explaining the options and which services would remedy the issues we had. Once hired for the services, they were prompt, professional, and diligent in performing the work on site, and cleaning... read more up each day. Would highly recommend Basement Kings for any crawlspace inspection and/or service.
