Description of Work: Installed a dewatering system in my basement to prevent flooding. |Have not had an incident since. Love it! Would recommend it if you plan to stay in your home. Will still need a dehumidifier if you have a basement. Do not know about crawl space.

Description of Work: They did a very nice job, even figured out a way to attach the new wall to an existing concrete wall. Of course, we haven't had a heavy rainy spring or flooding since they did the work so I won't know for sure that the system works until the next 10 year flood

Description of Work: On this service call, they replaced the original support braces with longer supports that spanned five floor joists instead of two. Their research concluded that correction was needed to prevent the two joists from twisting and to provide more even wall support. There was no charge for this upgrade. The original installation was done in 1993.

Description of Work: If you want a salesman to sell you a new system this is the place to go. If you are looking for a technican to help you locate/figure out your water problems, look elsewhere first. The salesman is talented. But I am not convinced that what I got was really what I needed to fix my water problem. The laborers who did the actual work were WONDERFUL. They resepcted my home, wore protective shoe covers and covred my hardwood floors with canvas. They were were professional and personable. The entire project took over a year--delays/rescheduling on our part and theirs. THey do not replace inside walls...so be careful here. The materiel used on outside walls they replaced could not be purchased anywhere so my walls were not going to match. After much ado, they did come back and fix the walls and they do look nice now.

*See services performed section*
Description of Work: We inquired about a waterproofing estimate as our basement walls were slightly bowed in. The service guy was professional, however this company or he himself lacked integrity. We were told that the damage to our basement walls were headed in a dangerous direction if we did not get them fixed immediately. The cost estimated around $5,000 just to waterproof our small basement. Something just didn't sit right after looking at the estimate. Not to mention, the service guy said if we agreed to the job, he would take off $500 that day. He tried all kinds of sale tactics so beware!! He made us think our basement walls were going to cave in and our house was in danger of collapsing! So just to be sure, we had yet another contractor come take a look. This was a general contractor from our local area who was not out to make a buck, but to provide honest workmanship. You can just see the honesty and humility in a person right away. As it turns out, we did NOT have major damage to the basement walls and our house was NOT going to collapse in at any given time. There was nothing that needed to be done. I will never recommend this company to anybody who is looking for honesty in a company. We were fortunate to have been spared $5,000 for repairs that were NOT necessary. BEWARE OF INTEGRITY!!!

I don't understand their ill feelings towards our company. They invited us to their home in 2003 for a proposal and then again in 2012 for the same repairs. In 2003 they said they were going to sell the house and didn't want to make the investment then. We use a very specific process for designing systems for the homeowners that ask us to their homes. We use a two pad system. The first page is a fact sheet, were we ask the homeowner specific questions and write those answers down. The second page is an accomplish list. This page is used in conjunction with the fact sheet answers and the homeowners responses to build their very own accomplish list of things they want addressed in the building space. Once this accomplish is built with their permission, we use our laptop to provide them with a presentation of products they want. Together with a drawing of their building space and a list of products and the use of pricing directly within the software, we create a proposal with pricing for their approval. Sometimes the pricing may need to be adjusted to fit their budget. We accomplish this with the use of other products that have less features and benefits or by simply removing certain products from there accomplish list to assist in lowering the overall price. We do our very best to accomodate every customer the best we can. We have never claimed to be the cheapest or lowest priced company in any of our markets, but we do pride ourselves in having the best products, best warranty and the best certified and trained systems design specialists and installers in our markets.
