Protecting Freehold Homes from Water Damage Since 1996

For 29 years, homeowners across Monmouth County have trusted Premier Basement Waterproofing when water threatens their most significant investment. Founded by Nelson right here in Freehold, we've built our reputation on something simple: fair pricing, straight talk, and solutions that actually work. No pressure. No gimmicks. Just honest expertise from a local company that answers its own phone.

Our Story

Premier Basement Waterproofing started in 1996 with a toolbox, a truck, and a commitment to do basement waterproofing the right way—without the high-pressure sales tactics that plague this industry.

Nelson founded this company after seeing too many homeowners getting taken advantage of by commissioned salespeople and overpriced national franchises. He knew Freehold families deserved better: a local expert who would accurately diagnose problems, price jobs fairly, and stand behind the work.

Nearly three decades later, that's precisely what we deliver. We've grown from a one-person operation to a skilled team serving hundreds of Monmouth County homeowners, but our approach hasn't changed. Nelson still personally oversees every project, invests in the latest diagnostic technology, and operates by a simple mantra: overstaff, overdeliver, and keep your promises.

Today, we're not just waterproofing basements—we're protecting homes from foundation to finished space, with comprehensive solutions that solve problems the first time.
