Testimonials

My basement survived Hurricane Irene thanks to the wonderful waterproofing job by Arid.  Even when the power went out and the sump pumps stopped working, our French drains caught all the overflow and kept our newly finished basement dry.  Your team was professional, your price was fair and your system worked.  Thanks for a great job! 

—Jennifer C., Ridgewood, NJ

Not only does ARID do exemplary work, they are the nicest people to work with.  With Pat and Kara in the office and Patrick in the field, couldn’t ask for more to start with.  THEN the actual work, I can’t imagine you’d ever find a more professional group. Polite, impeccably neat, and they finished the job without fuss or muss.  I would recommend them HIGHLY. Thanks, ARID, for making a miserable job much easier. YOU’RE THE BEST!

I had a problem with basement flooding and decided to waterproof my basement.  Let me tell you, it was one of the best decisions I ever made.  I just went through hurricane Irene and not a drop of water entered my basement.  Many of my neighbors had flooded basements but mine was kept dry by the French drain and pumps that Arid installed. 

—Nelson G., Staten Island, NY

I had Pat and his crew come in and waterproof my basement after getting water at least once a year for every year I was living at my home.  Hurricane Irene would have nailed our basement, but after the waterproofing was done, not one drop got in.  Service was on time and worked perfectly. It was worth every penny. —Ryan D., Mahwah, NJ

Considering the horrendous weather this past weekend, 7+ inches of rain on top of an already soaked ground as well as a 6-7hr power outage, the ARID system performed flawlessly. THANK YOU ARID. —Barbara and Kevin M., North Brunswick, NJ

We live in an area where the water table is extremely high and have had drainage issues in our yard since we bough the house.  We had our basement re-waterproofed in December 2009 by Arid.  The first company that did our waterproofing when we first bought our house several years ago ripped us off big time (Atlantic Waterproofing, who went out of business a few years ago) ! We called Arid because we were getting leakage into our basement again.  They came PROMPTLY when called, and explained in terms I understood what was happening and why and how it can be fixed and all at an amazingly FAIR PRICE ! Less than half of what the other company charged.  They were at our house within the next week or so and completed the job in ONE DAY ! NO mess left behind.  It’s now March 2010, and we have experienced the WORST RAINS thus far in our area and happily.. NO WATER in the basement ! Not a drop.  We are in process now of re-finishing our basement, something we couldn’t do until we were 100% sure the water issues were taken care of. Thanks so much for the peace of mind. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! —Tammi S., NJ

After dealing with multiple instances of rain water flooding in my lower level, I reached out to Arid to fix the problem.  The Arid team was able to diagnose and fix the foundation leaks very quickly.  The team did a great job explaining the issue, the details behind their French drain system, and their pricing before it starting.  Their work was flawless and has completely stopped any water seeping into my basement level.  Prices were competitive and the services was extremely courteous.  I would HIGHLY recommend Arid to anyone with basement water problems !!!!! —Sahir A., Jersey City, NJ

They were fairly priced, on time and professional. They did work when promised.  There is a waiting list because they are so good.  While everyone else has leaky basements, mine is dry. —Sharon R., Mahwah, NJ

Look no further, Arid is the company to choose for all of your basement waterproofing needs.  We are more than satisfied with the French drains that Arid built in our basement.  The Arid team is professional, reliable, knowledgeable and their services are affordable which is so important in today’s economy.  The construction was complete in 1 day and Arid left everything spotless, we were really pleased.  Bring on the rain !   —Fran C., Chatham, NJ
