Midwest Basement Tech.

Work went smoothly with no issues at all. Had 2 weeks of rain after the system was installed and it worked like a charm!

Excellent job. Done professionally and in a timely fashion. I'm extremely pleased with the work that was done and with the crew that did it. Highly recommended.

Bill showed up on time, unlike the other company we had called, gave a very knowledgeable synopsis of what he recommended we do, how it would be done and how long it would take. The estimate was considerably less than 2 other bids. We needed to rip out drywall and the studs behind in order for them to get in and do the work. While doing so we discovered the front wall was collapsing inward, I thought we would be spending a fortune to lift the house and replace the foundation wall. Bill came back, looked it over, recommended anchors instead, again the price was very reasonable considering the labor involved. The work crew showed up on time, both days they were there, they were prompt, polite, efficient and cleaned behind themselves as they went, so in the end there was not much cleanup left for them to do. I have recently purchased a new home and discovered it has a small leak in the basement.. I'll be calling Midwest.

The job did take longer then we where told by a few days. But we have no water anymore.

The workers showed up promptly the first morning - two guys that looked barely out of their teens and one somewhat older who introduced himself as the supervisor. Since I have asthma, I asked that they try to keep the dust down and I was assured they would. When I glanced down later, the only dust barrier they were using were a couple of old shower curtains I had left for them. Grit was everywhere upstairs, and then bugs of all kinds (spiders, beetles, gnats, etc.) began migrating upstairs, on walls, furniture, carpet, even my bedspread. I made a trip to Walmart that evening for bug killer, and I spent hours killing and cleaning up. It was a while before I felt safe enough to sleep. I was startled awake the next morning by the jackhammer drilling in the basement. Of course I asked for an explanation. The supervisor stated that when they had arrived that morning, they had knocked and rang the doorbell front and back and had knocked on the windows, all with no result. They then discovered that I had forgotten to lock the back door so they decided to walk in and start working. I found that the doorbells did not work, but I have a real problem with these guys just walking in my house. This made me so uneasy, I had all the locks changed ($45 we had not planned. My phone was next to my bed, volume on high, but I guess this alternative didn?t occur to them. The job was ?complete? on the third day. I was not able to inspect the basement until the next day, and I was really shocked at how bad it looked. The vinyl barrier was puckered and the tape was slapped on like an afterthought. The worst was the area we wanted to remodel. We had not planned to add paneling to the outside walls (from the photos in their brochures, the walls seemed acceptable even with the tape running through the middle. We couldn?t add paneling to the walls because the vinyl barrier had been stretched around the corners in a curve eliminating all ?corners?. The drain trough was also curved and did not meet the corners correctly. After discussing the issues with the crew?s supervisor (Steve Jones), he came out and performed a ?little? remedial work. He spliced extra material into two of the corners to make them square so now we were able to install paneling (another $400 we had not expected). The other two corners were not easily accessible so those had to be skipped for now. All in all, we spent a lot of money for a job of inferior quality. Our "finished" walls were a far cry from the one in the brochure provided by Midwest.

I have very good experience with Midwest Basement Technology, especialy the owner, Bill. I called them to come to estimate. They were fast to show up the next day and worked out detailed estimation in 2 days. I am very satified with their work and strongly recommed to you. The owner Bill is a very nice person. They even repared the places which were not in the original estimation without charging extra.

They came in and dug down all around the west and partial of the south side of my home. Nothing got better and they didn’t return any of my phone calls for a year. It was actually worse.They did not give me the guarantee until I pay them. I went to an engineer if the piers they put in didn’t work then they have to do it again.Called them out and someone else came out and they let me know I needed it on another side and there was an extra cost of 10,000.00. My kitchen floor is cracked and a lot of my home is out of place now for the damage.

I think they did a very good job. They cleaned up after the job. Overall experience, I am grading them an A. I am also going to use them in the future.

When I called for an estimate I was given a date and time. The owner showed up on time for the appointment, gave a written estimate. We approved the estimate and agreed upon a time for the work to be done. The workers were on time and efficient. Since the repair, the area has had several downpours and there has been flooding. The sump pump has been working overtime, but the basement (which always had a leak in heavy rains previously) was completely dry. So glad I checked Angie's list to find this company. If I had known the repair could have been made this well at this price, I would have done it years ago. AND we have a written, transferable warranty on the work.

They cleaned up thoroughly; they were prompt and arrived for the job on time. The work turned out great and I haven't had any problems since the installation. Certainly met my needs and I am completely satisfied with the work they did.
