Can anybody be a waterproofing contractor?
The barriers to entry into our industry are pretty small. Any handyman with a truck and a yellow page ad can call himself a waterproofing contractor. Over the past 50+ years, we’ve seen dozens of new waterproofing companies make a big splash in our area, only to close down their operation in a few months or years due to financial problems or the inability to service their customers. As with any type of home improvement work, it is a good idea to ask for references and check with your local Better Business Bureau to see if the company is in good standing. How long a company has been in business is a true indication of its stability and commitment. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
