Morganville, New JerseyWe have lived in our home for almost 7 years now, and during all this time we have had a huge flooding problem. The prior owner had the basement waterproofed by Mid-Atlantic Waterproofing with a lifetime warranty transferrable to us. Within a few months our basement began to take on water; since then, it has been an ongoing battle: they either ignore us, or do not fix the basement right.
We have been forced to gut our finished basement twice. We have thrown away numerous personal belongings. Earlier this year, after getting the runaround & no results for 7 years, we decided to call as if we were a new customer. We had two different salesmen visit: The day after the second salesman's visit, he called my husband's cell phone and said that the system was done by Mid-Atlantic, was still under warranty, and that they were going to fix it.
For the next few months, we had visits from different employees, and we were getting periodic phone calls, but no work was ever done. The last contact was May 16, 2006. An employee came and jack-hammered 3 holes into my floor. A foreman was supposed to come look at the holes; 3 weeks later, we are still waiting ( the second time this has happened). Messages left have gone unanswered. Today we had a huge flood. We have no hot water, because the pilot light is flooded out. We had to turn off the central air, because it was giving off sparks. Also, our phones are not working properly, because the wiring is wet. This situation has cost us in the tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention our time. We need this basement fixed correctly. I think we have waited long enough.

Inside drain tile and Baseboard perimeter systems do NOT stop/prevent water from entering cracks and other openings on the Outside, either through the basement wall or above ground openings which include openings around basement windows,open mortar joints,siding,around doors etc.
These are MOST homeowners problems! So...most do NOT need any drain tile or baseboard system, hello?

Outside repairs do not relieve hydrostatic pressure
Michigan dude, get off your soapbox. Inside systems work just fine. Like anything, they won't work if they are not properly installed. There are a lot of fine companies on the East Coast waterproofing basements from the inside. Wake up! Nobody uses cove base systems anymore.
How are you going to prevent water from getting under a footer and building up under the floor? You can't...Einstein. The water issues are a lot different on the East Coast than they are in Michigan. The soil is much different, and the construction process and materials are not identical to Michigan.
If I can keep water out of my basement by not tearing up my patio...deck...driveway...yard....flower bed...garden..etc, I will choose the inside sub-floor pressure relief system everytime.
You are on here putting your 2 cents in on companies that are out there ripping people off. For every one complaint on here, there are THOUSANDS of satisfied customers that are extremely happy.
Aqua Technologies is owned by an a hole. He is a huge rip off artist....always has been....always will be...Mid-Atlantic has horrible service.
