This review specifically addresses the sales tactics and the proposal presented, not the quality of work as we declined to go with MidAtlantic. My mother got serious flood damage in her home after heavy rains. The salesman who came out for the ""free quote and explanation of your problem"" tried to sell my mother for TWO HOURS on a basement waterproofing system that was totally unsuitable to her house, which would have required her to tear out all her baseboard heaters and bathroom tiles so that they could install their system behind and underneath. The quote was $15,000 and my mother's answer was a firm no, which caused him to turn on his used-car tactics and bargain with her. This compared to another contractor (a mason) who came in, looked at the design of her house and land, and designed a solution that specifically worked for her house, for less than $5000!
These ""one size fits all"" waterproofing systems are highly questionable and the hard sell isn't terribly attractive either.
