Brilliant Basement Waterproofing is a basement waterproofing contractor. Its website lists crack sealing, crawl spaces, mold remediation, footing drains, sump pumps, dehumidifiers and ventilation, gravity drains and landscape drainage, names a service area of Windham, Litchfield, Worcester, Norfolk, Bristol, Barnstable, Plymouth, Essex, Franklin and Providence, and says the business has been operating for 8 years. Its home improvement contractor registration, number 198672, is active on the state registry. In a 2026 Google review, a customer had 4 drains installed and crack repair done "at a fair price," and after the job was completed "they came back out to rake and seed the area." Another 2026 review says Justin's team installed a sump pump with a battery backup system, and when the backup was beeping after the power came back on, Justin "immediately called back" and explained that hitting the reset button on the top solved the problem. A third 2026 review says water was funneling into the basement while they were there, and Jake's "crew cleaned up the mess and got everything fixed," with no water in the basement since. In a 2025 review, they built a small retaining wall for a basement water issue, moved and replaced the sump pump and fixed a few other issues, and no water had come into the basement since the job was completed. In a 2024 review, the job took about three days: getting drainage pipes in the ground and covering them back up, resealing the basement wall, and a day of clean up and touch ups. That 2024 review also says Justin runs the business with his brother. In a 2023 review, Peter, Cody and Nate did a storage room rip out, demo of the floor, excavation, an internal drain system and pump and re-cementing of the floor, and also replaced an old leaking bulkhead door and added underground gutter discharge extensions; that 2023 review says the basement remained perfectly dry through several multiple-inch rainfalls.
Brilliant Basement did a job for my parents and my grandma. Jake and his team were super professional. They answered any and all questions for us in a timely manner and did a clean, professional job. Water was funneling into my grandmas basement while they were there, and his crew cleaned up the mess and got everything fixed and we have not had water in the basement since. Would highly recommend them.
This company made my wife and I comfortable from the start of the project to the very end. The crew i give them 5 stars. They were very professional, friendly everday they came to our home. I would send my family and friends to them. They did an excellent job.
We had some drainage issues and a crack in the foundation. We had 4 drains installed and crack repair done at a fair price. Jake and Justin stand behind their work and their crew is professional. After the job was completed they came back out to rake and seed the area.
Brilliant Basement Waterproofing came to my rescue when my basement was repeatedly flooding. Justin’s team installed a sump pump with a battery backup system that has worked beautifully and it’s such a relief not having to worry when big rain storms hit. My power went off, my battery backup up kicked in, and when power came back on, it was beeping. I called Justin’s office and he immediately called back and said he’d be right over. He explained I just needed to hit the reset button on the top and that solved my problem. I highly recommend Justin’s company. They’re very knowledgeable and reliable!
We are very pleased with the work that Brilliant did. They were very neat, courteous and thorough. On top of that, they competed the job in a very timely manner and stopped the water. Brilliant exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend them. Jake and his team are the best!
