Due to our desperation and the fact that they were one of two bilco certified repair companies, , I decided to call them back on September 23, and I spoke with Patti and she was able to have Adam come out the same day and he gave me a verbal estimate of $4,500. We received estimates from other companies that were all between $2,000 and $2,500 cheaper then the quote I received from Adam. Patti had called me on September 25, to follow and to see if I wanted to have the work done for the estimate that they gave me and offered to include putting in steps for the same price. I told her I would have to talk to my husband and we would have to discuss it. I received a call back on October 7th and didn't realize I was put on a three way call. It was a highly pressurized sales tactic where they were trying to bully me into a commitment to have the work done. He then said that he could do the job for $3,500, I asked him for a written estimate so I could see the price break down. He said that I need to make a decision first about having the work done before he would give me a written estimate which I thought was ridiculous and unprofessional. They were very adverse to giving me a written estimate and wanted me to agree to the work before hand.
Description of Work: I received a mailing from Adam's Basement. I reviewed there rating on Angie's List and decided to schedule a free estimate for the problem we were having with a leaky bilco door. I called and spoke to Patti to schedule my free estimate on 8/28/13. An appointment was made for 9/4/13 at 4:30 PM for Adam to come out. On 9/4/13 at 4:30 PM, no-one showed up. We waited until 4:55 PM and called the 1-877-212-2767 number. I spoke to Patti to inquire why no one came out. She said that the appointment was never made. When I told her that I made the appointment with her she stated that she was out and a substitute person was filling in. I asked if her name was Patti as well and she had nothing to say. She apologized and stated that they were booked 2 weeks out if I wanted to make another appointment.

I am so glad I called and hired Adam Basement Waterproofing to handle our basement waterproofing needs. We just purchased a 1955 classic home in Newark that had watar, mold and mildew issues not properly addressed so we did what any normal person would do - looked for a high quality and professional basement waterproofing company and found Adam Basement. Overall we could not be more satisfied with the work delivered and executed by Adam Basement. Adam and his crew came on time and were extermely courtious and polite. The work (excavation, installation and finishing) was done in 2 days and the site clean up during and after the job was excellent. And the Customer Service quality scores high before, during and after the job.
Description of Work: Installed duel floor wall pressure relief system with weepholes, 2 sump pumps, exterior speedy drain, vapor bright on walls, used nugget stone & portland cement, and sprayed for mold remediation.

Adam Basement Waterproofing provided courteous, professional, knowledgeable service from start to finish. After the problem was diagnosed, the remedy was carefully explained and an extremely fair, good price was quoted without pressure. The crew was well supervised and worked thoroughly and efficiently, completing a large job in just two days. The complete basement waterproofing system, including sump pump with battery back-up and two new windows are all high quality. Our family is extremely happy with the finished product and highly recommend Adam Basement Waterproofing to those in need of this service.

The job went as scheduled and as promised. The guys showed up at 8:00 and worked until 6:30 and when they were done, they swept and cleaned up after themselves. They were polite and very hard workers. I still feel like it is a totally different basment..
Description of Work: Our basement has always been damp and dingy. I hated to go to the basment to do the wash. After having Adam Basment fix our water problem that seemed to be coming through the walls, it looks and smells 100% better. The bright white plastic that goes over cement makes it so much nicer. It feels kinda of finished without being finished. The smell is no longer there and we made it through Hurricane Sandy without one drop of water. Thank you Adam to you and your crew for such a fantastic job.

I cannot say enough good things about the service and quality of work Adam Basement provided us after Hurricane Irene hit our area in 2011. We had 2 feet of standing water in our 1000 square foot finished basement. While a restoration service removed the water, carpet and drywall, Adam Basement came in immediately and not only figured out why water was still seeping through our basement floor, but they fixed the problem permanently. Our basement has remained dry, even during the recent hurricane, Sandy. After assessing the damage and explaining our options, we were given a quote and guarantee. We were so confident, we didn't even get another quote. We hired Adam Basement right after we got a claim check from the insurance company. They were in and out in 2 days... very impressive for the amount of work and the high quality work they did. The crew that came in was professional and clean. There was no dust, dirt, or trash left after the job was done. The work was thorough and obviously a success, because we haven't had one drop of water in our basement for the first time in 10 years. Another thing I also am impressed about is the follow-up they have done with us to confirm that all is well. After a couple of bad rain storms and after Hurricane Sandy, they called us to make sure we were dry. I like that kind of service especially after spending so much money.
Description of Work: Assessed where water was coming into our basement; removed concrete floor around perimeter of basement; installed new French drain and water absorbing pebbles and gravel; sealed floor; replaced concrete; replaced old sump pump with high quality pump; and installed a second sump pump and drainage system.

They were able to complete the job in just one day, which was impressive given the amount of work. When a small amount of water returned, they came right out and saw a new problem and took care of it for free, as they knew I was short on cash.
Description of Work: I have had 3 floods in the 1.5 years living at my house and had enough. That is when I found Adam's basement who did their custom waterproofing system, and even with the large amount of water buildup in my yard; it still keeps most of it out. Because there is still a little bit of water, they are willing to go above and beyond by re-digging the problem water well the proper way to keep ALL the water out.

basement waterproofing, egress windows
  + 0 more
Originally, I wanted a Bilco door system installed. Unfortunately, after consultation with an engineer and strict code requirements, it was decided that a window well and egress window would be the best option. Admittedly the process was complicated and likely outside the standard procedure for the company, but I was not impressed with the level of competence displayed by the company representative, Steve. I won't get into all the difficulties which arose during the three months it took to get the project done, but I will say there were many. When the installation finally started, I did feel much better because Adam and his carpenter seemed to have the requisite knowledge to complete the job effectively. The project was done in a timely manner and ultimately passed inspection. However, after the first big rain the window well filled up with water and began to flood my basement, despite the system in place to prevent this from happening. I got in touch with the company to find out what options were available and was informed that there would be an additional charge to remedy the situation. Apparently, the waterproofing warrantee wasn't applicable to this situation because the work they performed was not the cause of the water leakage. They indicated that there was no way they could have predicted the large amount of water that ultimately entered the window well. I didn't want to pay them additional money to fix a problem that I felt should have been done correctly in the first place. I don't usually like bad reviews because it sounds like people are complaining about making bad decisions. I will agree, some of the blame clearly fall on me. I should have been more diligent in my research during every stage of this project. At the time I contracted for the work to be done there were no reviews for Adam Basement on this website. My goal isn't to bash Adam Basement. The owner and carpenter are both hard working gentlemen. Unfortunately I can not say the same for everyone that I dealt with in the company. I am writing this review merely as a and quot;heads-upand quot;, so that others can have adequate information to make an informed decision.
Description of Work: Installation of Scapewell window egress system and window. Because of the presence of water, a well tap system with a 20 foot french drain and new sump pump was installed to prevent water from entering the new window.

The crew did a lot of extra work removing brick borders and landscaping stones and did a beautiful job replacing them with a new stone border. They were exceptionally professional, polite and left the project each day leaving no mess behind. Steve, the company's foreman, gave us all the time we asked for and answered every one of our calls. He was as honest as, we think anyone can be, considering the unknowns in a project like ours. The cost of this service was another $10,000. When a company they recommended to dig up what ended being several huge rotting trees buried in our yard (that were creating sink holes) bailed out of the project half way through, Adam's Basement completed the project for us in a timely fashion. This involved hauling truck loads of debris and trees and bringing in truck loads of topsoil. This service cost us another $10,000. Although this project costs us way more than we planned (what project doesn't?), It was not their fault, rather we had a lot of problems that we were unaware of. In the end, we were very pleased with the results. Adam and Steve worked tirelessly to get the job done and follow through with everything and more of what we asked for. Highly recommended.
Description of Work: We had a custom made Bilco door installation that cost $10,000. They explained that pre-casted Bilco door systems often leak when installed against cement block foundations. The company's crew hand dug around the foundation because they felt that digging with heavy equipment could damage it. The well to the Bilco system was custom made from cement blocks and a wooden stairway was built by an excellent carpenter who customized the steps with 12 inch treads. The end result was an incredibly solid and attractive addition. We were amazed at how much they paid attention to detail and how professional they operated. We had an old french drain system replaced with a dual floor and wall pressure release system. About 1 1/2 feet of cement flooring was cut to access the pipes and was replaced so professionally that you can hardly tell it was disturbed. All of the exterior drains and downspouts were replaced and taken underground and two exterior underground drains were installed, along with a catch basin to divert water away from the house.
