THEY ARE VERY PUSHY; USE SCARE TACTICS TO GET THE SALE. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE. THEIR PRICE WAS HIGH AS WELL: ALMOST TWICE AS EVERYONE ELSE GAVE US.

THE GENTLEMAN CAME OUT TO INSPECT MY CRAWL SPACE FOR WATERPROOFING. HE WENT INTO THE CRAWL SPACE AND LOOKED AROUND AND TOLD ME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND HE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS NECESSARY TO WATERPROOF. HE SAID THE MOISTURE WAS FROM SOME VENTS THAT I COULD JUST CLOSE OFF. I ADDED A DEHUMIDIFIER PER HIS SUGGESTION, AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE IN ORDER. HE DID NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE CRAWL SPACE. I APPRECIATED HIS HONESTY.

THEY WERE ABLE TO DO THE ESTIMATE WHILE I WAS AWAY FROM HOME. THEY FAXED THE ESTIMATE TO ME IN A PROMPT MANNER. VERY FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND GOOD TO WORK WITH. WILL USE THEM IN THE FUTURE FOR THIS APPLICATION WHEN FUNDS ALLOW.

EXCELLENT JOB. BEST HOME IMPROVEMENT WORK I HAVE HAD DONE ON THE HOUSE. NO MORE SMELL, I CAN CONTROL THE HUMIDITY AND NO MORE BUGS IN THE BASEMENT.

WE WOULD GET ANOTHER ESTIMATE BEFORE USING THEM.

VERY PROFESSIONAL AND LEFT EVERYTHING CLEAN.

MR. DEERING WAS ON TIME, ANALYZED THE SITUATION, EXPLAINED THE PROCEDURE, BUT SAID THE CREW MIGHT HAVE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO HIS PLANNED PROCEDURE AS THE JOB UNFOLDED. THE CREW DID NOT COME ON THE DATE AGREED UPON, DUE TO A DEATH IN THE FAMILY OF THE GENERAL MANAGER. THE CREW CAME A DAY LATER. THERE WAS A CREW CHIEF AND FOUR WORKERS. THEY ARRIVED AT 9:00AM, WORKED UNTIL 12:00; THEY RETURNED AT 1:30 AND FINISHED AND WERE GONE BY 3:00PM. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THEY OVERCHARGED US, AND WHEN WE TALKED TO THE GENERAL MANAGER ABOUT OUR COMPLAINTS, WE GOT A LETTER DEFENDING THEIR PRICING HABITS. IF FIGURED GENEROUSLY ON OUR PART, THE COMPANY CHARGED US ABOUT $500.00 AN HOUR FOR THE ESTIMATOR, THE WORK CREW CHIEF AND THE 4 WORKMEN'S TIME. THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS. WE ASKED TO SPEAK TO THE OWNER. THE GENERAL MANAGER PROMISED TO HAVE HIM CALL US. HE NEVER DID.

THE KID THAT DID THE WORK HAD A BAD ATTITUDE AND WAS SORT OF NASTY TO WORK WITH. I JUST WASN'T REAL HAPPY WITH THE EXPERIENCE.

THEY HAD AN OPENING FOR DOING THE JOB WHEN CONVENIENT FOR ME. CREW ARRIVED ON TIME, WORKED DILIGENTLY UNTIL JOB WAS COMPLETED AND LEFT NO MESS BEHIND. JOB LOOKS JUST LIKE I EXPECTED.

THEY WERE APOLOGETIC ABOUT THE COST. SERVICE WAS FAST AND PEOPLE WERE WONDERFUL, WITH GREAT QUALITY IN THE WORK.

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE, VERY RESPONSIVE, WORK WAS PERFORMED QUICKLY (IN A SHORT TIME FRAME)

THE GENTLEMAN THAT CAME OUT GAVE AN ESTIMATE ON OUR CRAWL SPACE TO WATERPROOF AND JUST SIMPLY POINT OUT WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THE GENTLEMAN DID NOT TAKE THE TIME TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT HE THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE DONE AND WHY. HE SIMPLY WROTE UP AN ESTIMATE AND HANDED IT TO ME. THE ESTIMATE WAS 5 TIMES THAT OF THE OTHER COMPANY THAT LOOKED AT THE AREA AND I FELT I WAS BEING TAKEN. IT SEEMED LIKE A PRETTY ELABORATE SYSTEM, BUT THE GENTLEMAN DIDN'T REALLY EXPLAIN WHY HE THOUGHT IT WAS NECESSARY OR ANY OTHER ALTERNATIVES. WE HAD IT FIXED BY SOMEONE ELSE AND ELIMINATED ALL PROBLEMS FOR A LOT LESS MONEY.

THEY DID NOT GIVE ME ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN. THE PRICE WAS QUITE HIGH.

THEY WERE ON TIME FOR THE ESTIMATE. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR FINAL INVOICE, THE PERSON WHO PROVIDED YOUR INSPECTION AND ESTIMATE WILL BE CALLED A ''SALESMAN'', AND THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE. AMERICRAWL HAS ONE SYSTEM WITH SEVERAL VARIATIONS, AND IT'S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT, THAT IS WHAT THEY WILL PUSH. GIVEN THAT, THE SALESMAN WAS POLITE ON OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER. HOWEVER, HE WAS RUDE TO MY WIFE'S OFFICE STAFF ON THE TELEPHONE WHEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE THE WORK. THEY PERFORMED THE WORK THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO AND DID A NICE JOB OF CLEANING UP. THE OWNER, MARK RALPH, WAS VERY HELPFUL IN ANSWERING ALL OF MY QUESTIONS WITH GREAT DETAIL, AND WAS ALWAYS POLITE. WHEN I HAD QUESTIONS AFTER THE JOB WAS COMPLETED, THE FOREMAN RETURNED TO OUR HOUSE THE NEXT DAY AND INSPECTED THE CRAWL HIMSELF. UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVEN'T HAD A MAJOR RAIN TO TEST THE SYSTEM YET. THE WARRANTY IS PAGES OF LEGAL JARGON AND EXCLUSIONS.

THE CHEMICAL USE TO KILL MOLD HAD AN ODOR AND WAS NOT AS SAFE AS THEY STATED IT WAS.

THEIR PRICE WAS THE LOWEST AND THEY GAVE US A BETTER PRODUCT THAN WHAT THEIR COMPETITION WAS OFFERING. THEY COMPLETED THE WORK IN 2 DAYS IN THE POURING RAIN.

HE SAID THAT WE DID NOT HAVE A BIG ENOUGH PROBLEM TO WARRANT THEIR SERVICES. HE SAID HE DID NOT SEE ANY SERIOUS WATER PROBLEMS AND SUGGESTED A COMPANY TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES OF THE CRACKS IN THE WALL AND THAT THEY WERE NOT BEING CAUSED BY SOMETHING HE COULD FIX, BUT FROM SOMETHING ELSE. HE WAS VERY HONEST AND SPENT OVER AN HOUR CRAWLING THROUGHOUT OUR CRAWL SPACE. HE CONDUCTED A VERY DETAILED INSPECTION.

I HIRED THEM TO FIX A SAGGING WALL. THEY MADE ME BELIEVE IT WAS GOING TO BE A HUGE JOB ($2,500). THEY WERE HERE LESS THAN 3 HOURS. FRIDAY THEY DID THE WORK, I NOTICED THE HUMP IN MY FLOOR ON TUESDAY. THEY CAME BACK A WEEK AND HALF LATER, SAW THAT ONE JACKS WAS UP TOO HIGH, SO THEY LOWERED THEM ALL TOO MUCH AND ALL THE JACKS FELL OUT. MY HOUSE IS 100 YEARS OLD AS THE EXPERTS THEY SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT THE HOUSE IS BUILT ON A BALLOON FOUNDATION, THE WALLS ARE NOT ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR I HAVE HOME INSPECTORS AS WELL AS OTHER COMPANIES THAT HAVE CHECKED ON THE WORK AND HAVE SAID "DON'T PAY THEM, THERE IS NOT ANYTHING THAT RESEMBLES $2500 WORTH OF WORK." I'M A SINGLE MOTHER AND THEY JUST TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME.

THE PEOPLE BROUGHT ALL OF THE EQUIPMENT, FIRST PUTTING DOWN PLASTIC THRU THE WALKWAYS. THEY FINISHED THEIR WORK WITH A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF MESS. THE PEOPLE DOING THE WORK WERE CONSIDERATE AND PLEASANT. THE WORK WAS FINISHED IN A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME. CLEANUP WAS GOOD.

THE SYSTEM PREVENTS MOISTURE, RADON, DUST, ETC...

THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN THEIR ESTIMATE OR SERVICE REQUIRED AS WELL AS THE COMPANY I SELECTED. THEY ATTEMPTED TO PRESSURE ME ON PRICE BY STATING THEY NEEDED A COMMITMENT IN 7 DAYS TO KEEP THEIR PRICE. THEIR QUOTE DOCUMENT IS FILLED WITH CONTRACTUAL TERMS AND LEGALESE.

DAN WAS EARLY FOR THE ESTIMATE. NOT A PROBLEM, SINCE I GOT HOME SHORTLY AFTER HE GOT HERE. TOOK A LOT OF TIME WITH ME TO GO OVER EVERYTHING. HE GAVE ME A DECENT PRICE COMPARED TO OTHER ESTIMATES I HAD BEEN GIVEN. I'M NOT SURE I'M SOLD ON THE ENCAPSULATION SYSTEM {OR THEORY}. THAT'S THE REASON I WENT WITH ANOTHER COMPANY INSTEAD.

NO HIGH PRESSURE SALE. WORK WAS COMPLETED AS QUOTED. GREAT CLEAN UP.

CREW DID A GREAT JOB, VERY PROFESSIONAL AND GREAT CLEAN UP.

THEIR SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE A LITTLE TOO INVOLVED AND EXPENSIVE. THEIR SUGGESTION MAY BE CORRECT, BUT I AM SEEKING OTHER OPINIONS. I CANNOT SAY IF I WOULD HIRE THEM FOR A FUTURE JOB UNTIL I HAVE OTHER ESTIMATES.
