Moisture Barrier Systems is a Boylston waterproofing business whose profile says work is performed by Rick Herrick. The company describes foundation crack repair by injection, leak repair at water or septic lines, sump-pump installation, and basement or crawlspace waterproofing and encapsulation; the Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles also state a five-year warranty, emergency service, free estimates, and 31 years of experience. The written customer history is old but specific. In reviews dated 2007 through 2017, homeowners described cracked-foundation and basement-leak repairs, sump-pump work, moisture advice, and flooding response. They repeatedly praised prompt arrival, clear explanations, reasonable pricing, and professional completion; one 2011 account says the reviewer received recommendations for reducing basement moisture, and a 2008 account describes a whole-house assessment of water problems. Angi and HomeAdvisor each display 5.0 from 25 ratings, while the BBB profile shows an A+ grade and accreditation. Before booking, ask for current license and insurance details and confirm the warranty terms in writing. Porch lists the Boylston business among unscreened Worcester waterproofing contractors and states that its verified-license status is inactive, while the BBB and platform profiles provide accreditation or membership information rather than a current license number. The right fit is a homeowner dealing with foundation cracks, basement water, sump-pump needs, or crawlspace moisture who wants a small-operator assessment; confirm present availability, scope, price, and licensing status before work begins.
He showed on time, was personable, and completed the job.
Rick was reasonably priced and did a great job in repairing the crack and leak in my basement foundation wall. He showed on time, was personable, and completed the job in 2 hours, as promised. Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of this kind of foundation repair.
Pleasant, knowledgeable, explained what he recommended and did it. Timely courteous.
Excellent!
Gave great advice and delivered more than expected. He fixed leak in cellar and re-installed my sump pump and all is great. Best price around.
