Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing publishes information about basements, foundations, waterproofing, drainage, flooding, permits, and related construction topics because we believe practical information can help property owners make better decisions.
Please read this Disclaimer before relying on information published on this website.
Everything published on brooklynbasementwaterproofing.com is provided for general informational purposes. The information on this website is not an assessment of your building and is not professional advice about your specific property.
Every building is different. Properties can have different foundations, drainage conditions, construction histories, water sources, soil conditions, access limitations, and regulatory requirements.
Information on this website cannot replace an assessment of your particular property by an appropriately qualified professional.
We publish information about New York City requirements, including permits, filings, inspections, violation procedures, drainage requirements, and other building-related rules because these requirements can affect waterproofing, foundation, drainage, and related work.
Regulatory information changes. Codes may be amended. Fees and procedures may change. Agency requirements can depend on the building, property, proposed work, existing conditions, and circumstances involved.
Information published on this website should therefore not be treated as a determination that a particular permit, filing, approval, inspection, or professional certification is or is not required for your property.
For current requirements, consult the applicable New York City agency or a qualified professional advising you on the specific project. Where a matter requires legal advice, consult an attorney.
Where a project requires professionally prepared or stamped plans, consult the appropriately qualified professional engineer or registered architect. We will identify when we believe a project may require professional involvement, but the information on this website does not replace that professional determination.
Some pages on this website provide general guidance about flooded basements and other potentially hazardous conditions.
That information is intended to help you make safer decisions. It is not a substitute for emergency services or an on-site assessment by a qualified professional. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
Do not enter standing water where electrical power may still be present. Do not restore power to a flooded area until a qualified electrician has confirmed that it is safe to do so. If sewage is present, treat the area as a potential health hazard and follow appropriate public-health and utility guidance.
Waterproofing can address identified sources or pathways of water, but no waterproofing system can make a building completely immune to water under every possible condition.
Results depend on factors including:
Nothing on this website promises or guarantees a particular result.
Any warranty that applies to work performed by Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing will be stated in the written agreement for that particular project. No warranty is created or implied solely by information published on this website.
Any discussion of insurance, water damage coverage, sewer backup coverage, or what an insurance policy may typically cover is general information only. Insurance policies differ substantially.
Your policy and your insurer determine the coverage available for your particular loss. Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing is not an insurance adviser, and information on this website should not be treated as insurance advice.
Where this website discusses the cost of waterproofing, foundation work, drainage, or related services, the information is provided for general guidance. Actual project costs depend on factors including site access, existing conditions, the scope of work, materials, excavation requirements, drainage conditions, and whether permits or professional services are required.
A price cannot be determined reliably for every property from general website information. Any cost figure published on this website is illustrative unless expressly stated otherwise. Only a written quote or proposal provided for your particular project establishes the price for that work.
Project photographs published on this website are photographs of work carried out by the business and are published with the appropriate permission.
They are not stock photographs. A photograph of one property does not mean that another property will have the same conditions, require the same work, or produce the same appearance after work is completed.
Project information is limited to facts that we can document accurately, including the service performed, location, and year where those facts are available. Project examples should not be understood as a guarantee of a particular result at another property.
This website may link to New York City agency websites and other external resources. These links are provided because the information may be useful to property owners. We do not control third-party websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability, security, or privacy practices. The inclusion of a third-party link does not constitute an endorsement by the linked organisation of Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing or an endorsement by Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing of every statement made on that external website.
For current government requirements, always refer to the applicable official agency source.
Reading this website, submitting an enquiry, sending photographs, or communicating with Brooklyn Basement Waterproofing through this website does not by itself create a construction contract, professional advisory relationship, or obligation to perform work.
Any work we agree to perform is governed by a separate written agreement.
We make reasonable efforts to keep information on this website useful and accurate. However, we cannot guarantee that every page will always be complete, current, or free from errors. This is particularly important for information concerning laws, regulations, permits, agency procedures, fees, and technical requirements, which can change over time.
We may update this Disclaimer when the website, our services, or applicable legal requirements change. The current version will be posted on this page with its applicable Last updated date.
