C&M Construction Waterproofing is a small, owner-run waterproofing outfit in Malden — Maxsuel and his wife run the crew personally — built around the basement-and-foundation problems that keep homeowners up at night: water in the basement, cracks in the foundation wall, a damp crawl space. All seven of its Google reviews, posted in 2025, are five-star. The 2025 reviews describe concrete fixes rather than vague praise. One homeowner had a sump pump installed in a 125-year-old basement specifically to stop it from ever flooding again; another called the company out for exterior drainage work at a Malden house and reported no water buildup around the foundation since. A third saw cracks forming in a foundation wall, got them sealed with the process explained step by step, and came away confident in the repair. In a crawl space job, C&M installed a vapor barrier and treated an existing mold problem, and the homeowner said the musty smell was gone afterward. One basement refresh also included replacing the vapor barrier along the walls and painting the floor, posts and stairs — sanding the posts and the French-drain area first. There isn't a downside on record yet — with only seven reviews, all posted close together, there simply isn't much history to check against. Good fit for the classic wet-basement and foundation-crack calls around Malden, especially for anyone who wants the sump pump or drainage system explained as it goes in; given how new the review history is, it's worth asking for a couple of recent local references before committing to bigger work.

We hired Maxsuel and his team to refresh our basement, and they absolutely exceeded expectations. They replaced the vapor barrier along the walls, and painted the entire basement floor, posts, and stairs. They meticulously sanded all the posts and the French drain area before painting, and even repaired our basement stairs. The quality of their work is outstanding — you can tell they truly care about the details. The team was professional, friendly, and incredibly respectful throughout the entire process. It’s rare to find a crew this committed to both craftsmanship and customer service. Our basement has been completely transformed. Highly recommend!
Reliable and well-prepared professionals! The team was punctual, respectful, and transparent throughout the process. Maxsuel explained every step clearly and exceeded our expectations. High-quality service!
We had lots of water in the basement and called this company. They came and installed a sump pump . They did an excellent job, and we haven’t seen any sign of water since. They are kind people and they worked very clean and organized. I would recommend them to anyone .
Extremely serious and committed company. They performed the exterior drainage at my house in Malden with precision and efficiency. Since then, we’ve never had problems with water buildup around the foundation again. Excellent work highly recommend!
Max and his wife were the most professional team when it came to communication, punctuality, and attitude - I have never worked with a better duo. They were able to quickly install a sump Pump system in our 125 year old basement to ensure it would never flood again. We are very impressed with their work and will utilize them for ALL home repairs and construction needs in the future.
