Walter's Masonry and Waterproofing is a wet-basement company first and a masonry company second. What its customers hire it for clusters tightly around keeping water out of a building — interior drains, sump pumps, foundation work — plus the brick, block and chimney repairs that tend to come with it. Its entire public history sits on Angi, where it holds 5.0 across 11 ratings with every single one at five stars. Those write-ups are the substantial kind rather than one-liners: they name the individual crew members who turned up and itemise what got installed and what it cost, which is the shape a genuine customer set usually takes. Two things temper that. It is one platform and only one platform, and the whole history lands in a single month of 2024, with nothing since. A number that has not moved in that long says less about the company now than 5.0 suggests. The credential is what to settle first. Angi's licence block prints a trade licence number carrying a PENNSYLVANIA locale for a company working in Massachusetts, and Angi says plainly that everything in that block is self-reported rather than checked. Waterproofing, masonry and concrete work of this kind is not among the trades Massachusetts exempts from home improvement contractor registration, so ask for the Massachusetts number directly and confirm it with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before signing anything. Where the company is actually based is worth asking too. Its Angi listing gives a Boston street address while the listing's own URL points at Fall River, and the jobs customers describe sit across eastern and central Massachusetts rather than in one town. The company also advertises emergency service, free estimates, warranties and veteran ownership, and shows 43 projects on its Angi gallery. A reasonable fit for a homeowner with a leaking basement who wants drainage and the masonry around it handled by one crew — provided you get the Massachusetts registration in writing and ask for references from the past year, since the reviews on file are not recent.

Guys were very professional, did a great job! We have some water leakage issues with our chimney. They came out to inspect our situation. I was extremely impressed with their professionalism. I am pleased with their work and would highly recommend them! [Cost stated: $1,200]

Absolutely thrilled with the job these guys completed on our 74 year old home in Dedham! It was a HUGE undertaking and they did it in 3 days! These men work very hard and leave the place spotless until they come back the next day! Some evenings they were here until 9 pm! They were polite, respectful and extremely neat!!! Our sales rep Richard was very professional and extremely knowledgeable in the field! He listened and executed the work we asked for! We highly recommend them and their final price was fair and reasonable for the thorough job they did! We welcome a dry basement finally! Now we can start planning for those renovations and a new cosy basement for grandchildren!!!! Thank you for the great job!!!

Guys were very professional, did a great job, they installed chimney liner, cap and repaired the exterior bricks of the chimney. Awesome job, and best of all no surprises in the cost, what they quoted me is what I paid. I would definitely recommend them! [Cost stated: $1,800]

I have just realized that I could not do more than to thank max again for the great job he and his team did. Not being from this area I could not imagine waterproofing issues when we bought the house. Max installed french drains and a sump pump completely fixing the leaks. I had a few estimates and I selected the local family type business. Never have regretted [Cost stated: $2,750]

I can't tell you how happy I am that my basement is now DRY!!!! Welber came out to give me an estimate, explained what he was going to do and once we agreed on a start date, he went to town and got the job done. He installed an interior French drain, and thought I could get away without a sump pump, and after all of this heavy rain, this assumption proved to be correct! I am very happy with the results, I no longer have a water problem in my basement! Welber is very professional, punctual, and knows what he is doing. His pricing is very reasonable, and I would highly recommend to anyone who needs to solve a water problem in their basement [Cost stated: $3,500]

What does basement waterproofing cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Walter's Masonry and Waterproofing. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Not sure which you need? Start with an inspection — many reputable companies assess free, and independent assessments run up to $500.
The wall run getting the drain — a full 30×40 ft basement is about 140 ft.
Estimated range
$7,600 – $15,000
Typical waterproofing project around $11,300
