Shore Water Management System has put together a near-perfect run on Angi and HomeAdvisor — fifteen five-star ratings and one 4.5, with no complaints logged on either platform. The company works out of the Quincy/Weymouth area and covers towns from Braintree and Hingham up through Boston, doing basement waterproofing and foundation repair. Nearly every review names the same person handling the job personally — Gerald Edme, who a financing-site profile describes as the company's founder. Homeowners describe Edme walking them through the problem himself — explaining fixes like self-leveling concrete over an exposed French drain, and itemizing the cost before work starts. One customer who collected four bids says Shore came in several thousand dollars under the next closest and still finished ahead of schedule; another noted he worked around a tenant's move-out and move-back mid-repair. That kind of detail runs through reviews dated from 2022 into early 2025, with customers describing him as prompt, easy to reach with questions, and thorough about cleanup once the work was done. One recent reviewer called the job excellent "so far" but wanted to see it through a heavy rain before giving a final verdict — a fair standard for waterproofing, since a dry basement only proves itself in a storm. The company's own website also gives two different answers for how long it's been in business — "since 2021" in one spot, "10+ years of experience" in another — so that's worth asking about directly. Its website names Quincy as its base while HomeAdvisor's profile lists a Weymouth address, and we don't know which one is right. It also lists a registration number that hasn't been checked against the state registry. For a wet or settling basement on the South Shore, the pattern here is a fair, itemized quote and one person seeing the job through start to finish. Worth confirming the registration status up front, and if timing allows, asking for a reference who's been through a hard rain since the repair.
“Gerald Edme, founder of Shore Water Management Systems, had a vision: to build a waterproofing company that didn’t just fix leaks, but truly protected homes and exceeded customer expectations. With ten years in the industry under his belt, he knew the ins and outs of keeping basements dry and homes protected, but working for someone else wasn’t cutting it.”
Great service for a great price
Very good
Shore water management systems did an excellent job containing the water in my basement… They were very professional and made arrangements with my tenants when they had to leave and come back which was very commendable…
Excellent so far job but still waiting to have heavy rain to make my final decision on.
Gerald and his team are awesome
