Quick Overview

iHow this is made

This summary is generated from the verified data on this profile: services, service area, credentials, warranty terms and the company's Google review record. It is reviewed by an editor before publishing and refreshed whenever the underlying data changes. Nothing here is asserted that is not stated elsewhere on this page.

Editorial Standards

UTECH Waterproofing has 382 Google reviews and a 4.8 rating, a big sample for a Buffalo-area basement contractor. Roger Utech founded the company in 1967, and his son Mark has owned it since 2008. The office is at 683 Maryvale Drive in Cheektowaga, just east of the city line, and the crews work across Buffalo, Amherst, West Seneca, Tonawanda, Williamsville, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Clarence, Grand Island and Depew. Services cover interior drain tile, sump pumps and battery backups, wall crack sealing, foundation wall reinforcement, yard drainage, and demolition and clean-out. Estimates are free, financing is listed in its process, and reviewers describe clean, well-explained crack repairs and a basement that has stayed dry for years. The main complaints are about schedules and mess on larger jobs. Phones are staffed weekdays from 8 AM to 5 PM.

Editorial Review

Our Take on UTECH Waterproofing

UTECH Waterproofing pairs a 1967 family history with a 4.8 rating across 382 Google reviews, which is hard to match among Buffalo-area basement contractors. The recurring praise is clean, explained work and long-lasting results, while the weak spot is scheduling on bigger jobs. Get dates and warranty terms in writing, and remember the office sits in Cheektowaga.

    We are absolutely thrilled with Utech! They are reasonably priced with outstanding workers who are on time to site and answer all questions and most importantly great work. Job site was cleaned up at the end. We highly recommend Utech. They are honest company that will not oversell work not needed and pricing is reasonable. They will stand behind their work! Great job !

    Very organized team. Project manager A. LaBriola was personable, honest, and knowledgeable. The employee, Jandel, that repaired the basement wall crack was so efficient, neat, and respectful. I am very pleased with the work done.

    Had these guys install drain tile and a backup sump pump. Great communication on job start times. I worried about the ground being frozen but they got it done with no problems. The plumber was very knowledgeable so inspection went great. All in all, I'm very pleased. Update 10/6/26: Just took a star off because of an issue with the concrete that was poured after job completion. The weather was cold and the concrete didn’t cure properly. Come spring, it was all crumbling. I contacted UTECH a bunch of times this spring and they had the lawn repair guy who came take pictures but they didn’t repair it. Shouldn’t have been pouring concrete in such cold weather.

    I had a great experience with UTech Waterproofing. They repaired several cracks in my basement and did an amazing job from start to finish. The work was professional, thorough, and everything was handled cleanly and efficiently. It’s clear they take pride in doing the job right rather than just getting it done quickly. I’m extremely happy with the results and feel much more confident knowing the cracks were properly repaired. I would absolutely recommend UTech Waterproofing to anyone dealing with basement cracks or water issues. Great work and a great experience overall!

    Received an estimate from UTECH Waterproofing to repair a basement wall in my home Andrew did my estimate and was very professional and knowledgeable. He put me at ease as to what to expect and answered every question and concern I had. I would definitely recommend giving UTECH a call if you have basement issues.

Company Background

About UTECH Waterproofing

UTECH Waterproofing has 382 Google reviews, and in a city where lake-effect weather, wet clay soil and older block and poured concrete foundations keep basements damp, that is a lot of homeowners who cared enough to write something down. The company works from 683 Maryvale Drive in Cheektowaga, an adjacent suburb of Buffalo rather than the city itself, and its own website lists Buffalo, Amherst, West Seneca, Tonawanda, Williamsville, Orchard Park, Lancaster, Clarence, Grand Island and Depew as service areas. Roger Utech started the business in 1967 after four years in the Air Force. His son Mark, a University at Buffalo graduate, became a partner in 1996 and bought out his father in 2008, so it is still a family-owned firm.

The work centers on interior drain tile, sump pumps with backup systems, wall crack sealing, foundation wall reinforcement for bowing or tipping walls, yard drainage, and demolition and clean-out. For leaking cracks in poured concrete, the company says it seals the leak at the source between the foundation and the soil, without digging. Its website shows Basepump, Fortress, Chance and Hubbell logos alongside its sump pump and foundation pages. Estimates are free and the stated process includes financing options and annual maintenance.

Reviews give the clearest picture. Ryan, who lives on Tonawanda Creek, says vinyl sheet walls, drain tile and dimple board have kept his basement dry since 2016, and he reports a lifetime transferable warranty. Sue called her drain tile install phenomenal and the appointment pressure free. Two reviewers singled out a technician named Famous for tidy, carefully explained crack repairs. There is a dissenting voice too: one 1-star reviewer, Blair, described a job that ran close to two months instead of 17 days, with missed crew days and a pipe struck during drilling. Even a happy customer notes that jobs get messy and run longer than hoped. UTECH Waterproofing holds 4.8 from 382 Google reviews, read October 20, 2026.

It suits homeowners who want a long-established local specialist for drain tile, cracks or sump pumps. It suits less well anyone who needs weekend or emergency service, since the listed hours are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and the website does not mention emergency call-outs. Before booking, ask for a written scope and schedule, who will be on the crew, how floors and utilities are protected, and the warranty in writing. New York State has no statewide waterproofing or home improvement contractor licence, so ask for the company's Erie County home improvement licence number if it claims one, confirm insurance and workers compensation, and check City of Buffalo permit requirements with the Division of Permit and Inspection Services.

UTECH Waterproofing FAQs

  • Does UTECH Waterproofing need a licence to work in Buffalo?

    New York State has no statewide waterproofing or home improvement contractor licence, so there is no state number to look up. UTECH Waterproofing's website does not publish a licence number. Ask whether it holds an Erie County home improvement licence and request the number, ask for current insurance and workers compensation certificates, and check City of Buffalo permit requirements with the Division of Permit and Inspection Services. The company's own FAQ encourages homeowners to ask to see current certificates.

  • What are UTECH Waterproofing's hours and does it do emergency service?

    UTECH Waterproofing is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and closed Saturday and Sunday, per its Google listing read October 20, 2026. Its website does not mention emergency or 24 hour call-outs, so ask when you phone 716-893-8801 whether an urgent leak can be scheduled quickly. The office is at 683 Maryvale Drive in Cheektowaga.

  • Does UTECH Waterproofing offer a warranty, financing and free estimates in Buffalo?

    Yes to free estimates and financing: the company advertises a zero obligation free estimate and lists financing options in its process. It serves Buffalo, Amherst, West Seneca, Tonawanda, Williamsville, Orchard Park, Cheektowaga, Lancaster, Clarence, Grand Island and Depew. Its website does not publish warranty terms, but one reviewer reports a lifetime transferable warranty, so get the warranty in writing before you sign.

  • Is UTECH Waterproofing licensed and insured?

    We have no credential records on file for this company yet. Ask for the certificate directly from the insurer before booking work.

    Buffalo. Coverage is as the business describes it, cross-checked against where its recent documented work is. Confirm your address before scheduling, particularly at the edge of a service area.

  • Does UTECH Waterproofing offer emergency service?

    Emergency availability is not listed for this company. If you need an urgent call-out, check the ranking for companies that do list it.

  • What warranty do they offer?

    The website does not publish warranty terms. One reviewer reports a lifetime transferable warranty; ask for the terms in writing.. There are usually two warranties on a job: the manufacturer covers materials, the contractor covers workmanship. Get both in writing and check whether the workmanship coverage transfers if you sell.

  • How was this profile built?

    Credentials come from issuing authorities, ratings from the company's Google Business Profile with the date we read them, and the editorial take from our own review of estimates, warranty documents and public feedback. Anything the business told us is labelled as reported.

  • Can a business pay to improve its profile?
