Their crew arrived at the agreed time and proceeded to tackle the strenuous job of removing the drain tile system that had ceased to function. This tile had been laid some 30 plus years ago at an elevation that was barely beneath the surface of the pea gravel covering the earth under the crawl space. They also removed the original sump pit that was not installed deep enough. They then dug trenches for the new tile, and installed that and a new sump pit and placed our existing pump in it. When their task was complete they did a fantastic job of cleaning up. Because the earth beneath the pea gravel was wet it made a muddy mess but by the time they finished cleaning up the crawl space looked like new. Can't say enough about the professionalism and quality of the work over all. In addition when I first contacted this company, Austin, the owner, came out to see me and look at the problem. He talked with me about what was going on, I already knew from observation, and showed me some creative ways to correct the problem. He also worked with me on pricing in order that I would be able to afford to have the work done within my means. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend this company for their integrity and the quality of the workmanship.
Description of Work: Remove non functioning drain tile in the crawl space and install a new system of tiles at the proper elevation.

The real seal came out and did a complete look at the issue i had. They identified the location of the crack, gave me options to repair internal or external. They also ensured i understood the age and expected life span of the sump pump to ensure i would have no other water issues in the future. They quoted the crack repair as well as the price of a new sump but didn't pressure me at all. I went with the external crack repair. They worked with me to abide by my town permit process and helped me secure another contractor for concrete repair of my patio and answered all my questions in a timely manner. I would recommend The Real Seal.

We had several quotes and they were little more expensive. I went with this company because I found them on Angie's List and they offered a lifetime guarantee. And it is transferable to the next owner.

They were the top companies that have found on Angie’s List. They’re the only honest company that told me I do not need it. The guy that came over, Mike, was really professional. He basically told me what I needed, not anything more or anything less and I appreciated that. He came out here for a second quote. It was great.

I had crack in my basement foundation wall which began to leak significantly. I was in a rush and searching for help. I found The Real Seal for an estimate. I discussed the problem over the phone and his assistant was able to provide an estimate of the work. The estimate price was higher than what I paid because Austin was willing to match a lower estimate from another contractor. Austin came in at the scheduled time and took the time to answer my questions about what he would be doing. He was very professional and was thorough in his work. I would call him again, if needed and I would definitely recommend him to others in need of similar services. His work also came with a lifetime warranty. I think most other do as well, but it provided a bit of re-assurance.
