New York businesses filed under foundation and waterproofing work, open and reviewed.
Roofers, plumbers and insulation companies with a side service were left out.
Services come from what each company says on its own site.
No answer on the site means "no information yet", never a guess.
Every listing starts from public business data for New York companies filed under foundation and waterproofing work. We kept businesses that are open and have Google reviews, merged duplicates, and left out roofers, plumbers, insulation companies and other trades that list waterproofing only as a side service.
Then we read each company's own website and recorded the services it names, such as wall anchors, piers, drain tile, sump pumps or crawl space encapsulation. When a site does not say, the listing says so instead of guessing.

A crack in a basement wall or water on the floor after a storm is stressful, and the first company you call may not be the right one. Some companies listed here mostly keep water out. Others mostly fix walls and foundations that have moved. Many do both. This guide covers what to look for before you sign anything.
Water coming in is usually a waterproofing job: drain tile, a sump pump, sealing cracks or encapsulating a crawl space. Walls that bow, floors that sag or doors that stick point to a structural problem that calls for wall anchors, braces or piers. A good company will tell you which one you have after an inspection, and many listed here say they offer that inspection for free. Weather matters here: New York averages a little over 40 inches of precipitation a year, total precipitation has been well above average since 2000, and 2-inch downpours have become much more common.
New York State does not license home improvement contractors, but some counties and cities do. New York City requires a Home Improvement Contractor license from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection; look one up with DCWP's business search. Nassau County (license search), Suffolk County (license search) and Westchester County (licensed contractor search) license contractors too, and Putnam County runs a mandatory registration program. Elsewhere, ask your city or town. The listings on this site show whether a company states a license on its own website. This site does not check licenses.
Under New York's General Business Law, a home improvement contract must be in writing and signed by everyone, and you must get a signed copy before any work starts. You may cancel until midnight of the third business day after signing. The contract must also explain how the contractor handles payments received before the job is finished.
Each city, town and village enforces the state building code itself, so permit rules are local. In New York City, most construction needs a Department of Buildings permit, and underpinning work must be shown on approved drawings. Syracuse lists foundation and site work among projects that need a permit. Ask the company who pulls the permit. If the job means digging outside, state rules require the excavator to notify 811 at least two working days, and no more than ten, before digging starts.
Each listing shows the services a company names on its own website. A service under "No information yet" means the company's site does not say. Call and ask.
Each listing is an open New York business with Google reviews that does foundation repair, basement waterproofing or crawl space work. Roofers, plumbers and other trades that only list waterproofing as a side service were left out. Owners can claim a listing to fix details or add photos.
No. A basic listing is free. Companies can pay for a featured spot or a premium listing, and those are always marked as featured.
No. A listing shows whether a company states a license on its own website, but nothing here is verified. Check the contractor's license or registration with the official agency before you hire.
Waterproofing keeps water out of a basement or crawl space, with drain tile, sump pumps, crack sealing or encapsulation. Foundation repair fixes walls and footings that have moved, with wall anchors, braces or piers. Many companies here do both. Each listing shows which services the company names on its own website.
New York State does not license home improvement contractors, but some counties and cities do, including New York City, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester. Putnam County requires registration. Ask which license the company holds and check it with the county or city before you sign.
New York rules require the excavator to notify 811 at least two working days, and no more than ten working days, before excavation starts. In New York City and Long Island the center is New York 811; elsewhere it is Dig Safely New York. Ask your contractor whether they place the request.
