Your Project Advisor

Our Estimators

Hi, I’m Cole

My experience at Better Basements is as a Project Advisor and a Crawl Space and Basement Tech. Before construction I was a Real Estate Agent for 2 years on a local team. I do miss the hard labor of crawl space and basement waterproofing, but meeting homeowners is really fun and I think Real Estate primed me for meeting homeowners where they are at.

I am engaged to be married (to my boss’s sister actually) on June 22, 2025! We met at the University of Idaho where she was their soccer goalie and I ran track. We were both involved in FCA at the time.

My favorite movie is, The Martian. Who doesn’t love themselves some Matt Damon?

Case Study

Fun Commercial Project I Advised For

A property manager needed help with a flooded crawl space that was in desperate need of repairs. We cleared out the space, installed two sump pumps with drainage, sealed off all the holes from animals, and added a new vapor barrier. Now, it stays dry, repairs are easier, and maintenance is simple.

Waterproofing Video

My Favorite Waterproofing Education Video

Proper basement drainage placement

This is my favorite basement waterproofing video because Mike, WAS one of these installers for years. And when he saw the plague of their failures he did the right thing and of course corrected his business. Waterproofing the right way isn’t easy, but changing your business is even harder.
