Shore Water Management System

Shore Water Management System is a Quincy basement-waterproofing and foundation-repair contractor built around one person: general manager Gerald Edme, who a 2024 profile on Forward Financing describes as bringing roughly a decade in the industry to launching his own shop. The website says the company has served Weymouth, Quincy, Braintree, Hingham and the Boston area since 2021, and its 15 Angi and HomeAdvisor reviews are almost unanimous about what people call them for — 14 of the 15 describe solving a wet or unstable basement, not general handyman work. Homeowners who hired Shore between 2022 and 2025 keep circling back to price and follow-through. In a 2022 review, a customer said Shore came in several thousand dollars below the next-closest bid and finished sooner than proposed, with Gerald supervising the project start to finish and answering every question along the way. A 2023 review credited him with itemizing a quote the day after assessing the job and finishing a day ahead of schedule; another from the same year described choosing self-leveling concrete to cover an exposed French drain, with the schedule held and the result described as leaving the homeowner 'extremely satisfied.' The written record runs through early 2025, with reviews on both Angi and HomeAdvisor continuing to praise fair pricing and clear communication. A few things are worth clarifying before signing on. The company's own materials don't agree on how long it's actually been doing this: the website claims both 'since 2021' and '10+ years of local waterproofing & foundation experience' without reconciling the two, and its Angi/HomeAdvisor profile claims 'over 15 years' in construction on the same page as a '5 years of experience' business highlight — Better Business Bureau's own record shows the LLC was formed in 2021. BBB also rates the company B-, citing an unanswered complaint on file. And per its own FAQ on Angi and HomeAdvisor, Shore does not offer emergency service, worth confirming up front if a basement is actively flooding. Shore reads like a small, owner-run crew hired specifically for foundation and basement-water problems — French drains, self-leveling concrete floors, full waterproofing — rather than general remodeling, despite 'General Construction' appearing on its directory listings. Get the itemized quote in writing, plan around the lack of emergency service, and it's worth asking directly how long the company has actually been operating.
