-Vulcan Basement Waterproofing of NY started waterproofing --basements in the New York Metropolitan area in 1959.

When we first arrived on the scene, there was no company listed in the yellow pages for basement waterproofing; in fact, there was no listing whatsoever in the Yellow Pages for “basement waterproofing.”

Thankfully for the people of the New York City area, Vulcan was able to change that!

In the early 1960s, we operated out of a store front on Parsons Blvd in Jamaica, Queens. The demand for our basement waterproofing services began to steadily increase, as more and more people began to realize the importance of having a dry basement and what it did for their homes and the extra space it provided them.

During our early years of waterproofing basements, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing was the first company to waterproof basements on a year-round basis.

The need for this became more apparent as our experience waterproofing homes in Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island and Connecticut proved.

We concluded that in order to completely guarantee basement repairs we would need to deal with any and all kinds of seepage.

As a result, numerous methods including exterior coatings, French drains & crack repair became a big part of our business, but more importantly this diversity inspired us to develop our patented method, called “The Vulcan Hydrostatic Pressure Relief System.”

Once we discovered this revolutionary way to do basement waterproofing, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing NY expanded its operation to other areas on the East coast.

In 1969, Vulcan Basement Waterproofing moved its regional headquarters taking up an entire block on 76-28 Parsons Blvd.

The relocation allowed Vulcan Basement Waterproofing to fulfill the basement waterproofing demands of its ever increasing customer base.

We are now celebrating over 50 years in the same location, and can proudly say that we have thousands and thousands of satisfied customers in the New York Metropolitan area.
