Real Seal was great. Ben was more interested in diagnosing the problem than selling me a solution. Once the diagnosis was made, George came out to fix things. He explained everything he was going to do before starting & he delivered. I woul recommend Real SEal for their honesty & interest in solving your problem.

I made an appointment with the Real Seal. Wow! I was impressed! The appt was easy to make, the man showed up on time (sorry I dont remember his name), and he was very professional and helpful. He inspected my basement walls inside and out, offered suggestions on things I could do on my own, then pointed out 1 crack that appeared to cause leaking. With my permission he sealed it and charged me $300. Here's the best part--more than a year later--not a drop of water in my basement! Even in heavy rains! I am a very happy customer, highly recommend Real Seal
Description of Work: I had a minor water problem in my basement, seepage during heavy rains that I could not determine the source of.

Jorge, the service person who did the work was a great combination of friendliness, professionalism and applicable information. He explained the work to be done and other areas where work might be needed. He answered all of my questions in detail and worked efficiently and carefully. This company has provided outstanding service since my first contact with customer service, during the in-home inspection and for the quality of the work done. When everyone you have contact with in a company shows the same level of excellent service, you can be sure it is a company value.. I wish I could give Real Seal an A+ rating. An estimate from a well-advertised competitor was over $700 more.

The first tech was very nice, thoroughly explained everything he would do. While he was waiting for apoxy to set, he offered to inspect the crawl space. It didn't feel like an upsell - I had been telling him about all the issues with the home (it was a foreclosure, so all expected), and he asked about it. He came back and showed me pictures and held a light for me to see where there was a huge crack under one of the main support beams under the living room. So I ended up having him fix that as well while he was there. This put the price up somewhat, but not terribly. However, a few weeks later after a big storm, I still got water in from the crack in the utility room. I called and they sent someone out as soon as I was available. He looked and said that it might be that the filler hadn't spread all the way to the top of the crack, so he went back in and redid it. He drilled up higher so we could see when the filler came all the way up. I've had no problem since then in several hard rains. Despite this, I was very happy with the company, their service and professionalism, and I would not hesitate to use them again.

The work was completed in one day. The crew kept at it. My only slight issue was the finish on the concrete was not very professional. It was lumpy, the stones in the mix were at the surface and it doesn't look smooth, but it is an unfinished basement.
Description of Work: Many leaks in a section of my basement were corrected drain tile was replaced and a new sump pump pit was added. After two years the repairs are still good without any leakage.

Everything went extremely well. The workers arrived on time, moved everything in order to do the job, cleaned up, and explained to me what had been done. I had a question after the work had been done, and Austin came right over to address the issue that was not a problem of the installation. And, the greatest thing is I have NO water in my basement! RealSeal is a great company, and I plan to hire them again in the near future!

The team arrived to do an inspection based upon what was purchased on Angie's List. Apparently what I bought was more than required for task at hand. Not only did they refund the difference, they went through results and gave honest feedback as to priority and need for repairs identified. Respected the integrity and professionalism of this team and they will have my business when the time comes.
