After repeated basement flooding during heavy rain, we contacted VHP Services and couldn’t be happier. They installed a sump pump and backwater valve, explained everything clearly, and finished on time. Since then, our basement has stayed completely dry. Highly professional team.

VHP Services did an excellent job waterproofing our basement. The crew was respectful, clean, and very knowledgeable. They installed interior drainage and a sump system, and even helped us understand city rebate options. Worth every dollar.

We had water coming through foundation cracks for years. VHP Services inspected the basement, explained the process, and fixed the issue properly. No more leaks, no more stress. Honest pricing and great workmanship.

Our basement used to smell musty and had damp walls after storms. VHP Services installed weeping tiles and sealed everything properly. The difference is night and day. The basement is dry, clean, and safe again.

From the first call to final cleanup, the service was excellent. The team worked efficiently and kept us informed throughout the project. The flood protection system they installed has already proven itself during heavy rainfall.

Very impressed with VHP Services. They installed a sump pump with battery backup and backwater valve. The crew was polite, professional, and left the basement spotless. I feel much more confident during storms now.
