Chris Carney not only was able to come up with effective solutions to these two water leaks, he also performed related services in the basement which allowed it to remain leak free during our recent monsoons.
Description of Work: Faced with two water leaks in the basement in my OP house that structural engineers had been unable to successfully diagnose, or to provide helpful suggestions.

Marsee had installed a sump pump three years ago, which worked well (and still does). Another area of our old basement leaked in recent heavy storms, so they epoxyed the foundation cracks, jack hammered the concrete floor, built an extension of the drainage area by the wall so it would drain into the existing sump pump. It works great. The basement is dry. They cleaned up well, too. I'd recommend them, and I'd use them again (I just did!).
Description of Work: Marsee epoxyed cracks and created a drainage area to link with my sum pump.

Every thing was done to our complete satisfaction. They even recommended a plumber they had worked with before to redo the sewer work in the floor while it was all torn up. The Plumber was rainbow plumbing. We also use them to this day. We really liked the crew. Glenn said they were just like family, except louder. Jackhammers are like that. We were completely satisfied. if we ever need foundation work again we know who to call.
Description of Work: They have done two jobs for us. The first, 14 years ago, was a complete waterproofing of our basement in a 90 year old house, no small deal considering there is probably a spring under this place. That was considerably more than $600. I don't remember how much, but it was reasonable. We have never had a drop of water in the basement since. A couple of years ago they rebuilt a collapsing basement wall. Again, great job.

He was excellent. My basement was flooding courtesy of the construction work that was done. They never put sump pumps in and I never knew I needed sump pumps because I'm not from here so my wood was rotting. I had a brand new basement that was put in that was flooded as soon as there was a big rain which was not cool. I tried different stuff and then finally had to rip the floor up and put a brand system in and I was not happy about that. Marsee did a real nice job. They were very good. He had to rip up my floor and rip up my wall and put a drainage system. He did exactly what he said he would and it worked. I didn't have to check his work because he did his own quality control. I would recommend my friends.
Description of Work: We used Glenn Marsee & Son to put a drainage system in.

They had an A rating with Angie's List and the better business bureau as well. They had been in business in three generations. He was very quick and professional. His workers were courteous and clean and they wrapped up the job in 2 and a half days. I was very pleased from start to finish.

Marsee and Son, Inc., were highly recommended by those in the know as well as on A's List. We called them and two other companies for consultations and bids. Marsee was a bit higher, but due to his knowledge, years in business, and superior recommendations by all asked, we went with Marsee and do not regret a moment of it. They just completed the job, so their service is still fresh in my mind. Bill Marsee was on-site a couple times each day of the week the process took place. His staff members are incredibly hard workers, very polite, had spotless clean-up at the end of each day's work, and were just nice guys, to boot. They were also very considerate. I told them from literally within minutes of arriving the first day that my roses and landscaping are very important to me, so please, be careful of them! No damage was done to any of the landscaping, which is pretty amazing, considering that they had to put down plywood sheets each day and roll a bobcat over them to get to the basement windows, all within inches, literally, of my rosebushes and other landscaping. They did meticulous and careful work! My neighbor even commented that she couldn't tell, at the end of each day, that we were having major work done. I highly recommend Marsee and Son, Inc. Their professionalism was worth every penny, and Jeff is a great supervisor. A+.
Description of Work: Waterproofed basement: took up concrete and created a trench and drain system, then repoured concrete, added new sump pump, installed new basement windows, injected two cracks in wall. Large basement job; fair price for quality of service.

Very responsive. I was pleased with the service, explanation of work, and steps to take to avoid further damage. The price was excellent. The area that was sealed still had a leak a few weeks later. They came back out and took care of this. We have been 6 months without an issue. I was very pleased

We live in an older home, and discovered some new cracks that alarmed us. The Marsees had been recommended by the most reliable friends - - a contractor and a residential building inspector and we saw that they were equally highly recommended on Angie's list. No wonder. Foundations have been crumbling all over the metro in this drought, so we were pleased that they could get to us as quickly as they did - - two or three weeks, as I recall.
Description of Work: We discussed our house's problems, and were advised to buttress the garage with soil and to water the soil; and were advised to patch the brickwork rather than doing extensive (and expensive) foundation work. He assured us that the house wouldn't fall down any time soon (which is of course, what we feared.) They brought and installed soil, repaired and tuck-pointed the stone foundation. When we called some weeks later (having not watered the new soil as had been advised) with another alarm, we were again reassured. whew!

I did not use this company and would not recommend anyone that can only give you a "Guess Estimate" of the work to be performed.
Description of Work: Bill Marsee came out to give me a bid on foundation work. I was not impressed with him, when someone walks into your home and immediately puts it down for have a poured concrete basement and I should have never finished my basement. Wanted a bid on foundation work not someone to criticize my home. Very negative person and could only give me what he called a "GuessEstimate", so in others words who knows how me the total cost would be if I had them do the work! I would not recommend this company.

In reviewing the comments made, I would like to respond to the remarks the member made about our company. In my recollection, the basement wall was covered with sheetrock and I was unable to determine the extent of damage to the wall or make an exact estimate on the repair until the finished portion was removed. Our family has been in this business since 1910 and to the best of my knowledge, we have never had a complaint about our professionalism or quality of work. Bill Marsee, President

Bill Marsee is obviously a very knowledgeable worker.
Description of Work: I needed to have floor joists reinforced/repaired. I got an estimate from Bill, which was very reasonable. However, I did not ask him to do the work, because I got an estimate from another individual for exactly the same amount, and that individual was recommended by two other people. However, I think Bill would have done a marvelous job if I had hired him. He was punctual, courteous, professional and very knowledgeable. I have no doubt that he would have completed the work on time and that I would have been very satisfied. I would definitely recommend him to friends.

Glen Marsee & Son Foundation Repair, Inc. are not the cheapest contractors around. I got estimates from three contractors and Marsee was not the cheapest, but they had done work for me before and I liked the work they did. They have been re-building and re-pairing concrete block foundations around the Prairie Village, KS area for many years and have a good reputation. The actual work took approximately one week from start to finish, maybe a day or two more. Bill Marsee (owner) was on the job almost every day and I found them to be hard-working, professional, turning out a nice-looking product, and the clean-up was very good. I signed the contract on April 18, 2011 and paid them a deposit of 25% down. I paid them the balance of the contract on the day they were through work.

Description of Work: Glenn Marsee & Son Foundation Repair, Inc. replaced the attached garage foundation down to the footings and four feet of the basement foundation next to the inside back corner of the garage. In addition, they replaced two old basement windows with a row of 8" square clear-view glass blocks on the west side (front side) of the house. They also broke-up and re-poured the garage floor.

The owner came out with his crew to introduce me to them and to explain to me what they were going to do. Then they got on the job and it took portions of two days to finish the job. He was honest, thorough and cleaned up. His prices were fair and he followed up on his job. I will use him again in the future.

He was a very business minded gentlemen and provided good information and service. I'm very pleased with the support he provided and I was confident that he knew what he was doing. When they replaced the dirt back on the foundation I wasn't completely satisfied with the replacement of the exterior dirt but they did return to work on that part of it again.

The project went very well, took 2 days, very, very nice people. They came prior to estimated date.
Description of Work: Foundation was leaking. They did the following which is quoted from our contract "epoxy inject (9) nine feet of cracks in west wall. Excavate along section of west brick wall (4) four feet from porch to footing. Waterproof with mortar, foundation coating and 6 mil polyethylene from footing to grade level. Backfill for proper grade." On top of this, for no extra charge, they dug up and replanted my rose bushes that were in the way. .

The name of the company is actually Glenn Marsee & Son, not "Gene". I have used the services of Bill Marsee three times over the past 15 years and been very pleased. The most recent was to install ten vertical steel braces on my mother's basement foundation wall, inject epoxy to seal cracks in the foundation and install angle iron on the exterior of the foundation to support the brick fascia. Additionally, his crew created a swale to redirect water away from the foundation. Finally, the also did tuck-pointi repairs to the stone retaining wall along the west property line. As always the work was done promptly, professionally and courteously. They leave the worksite clean on completion. And when the city inspector came to approve the completed work, upon finding that Marsee did the work, he remarked that their work is always excellent. The structural engineer we used in securing the permit was a satisfied client as well.

As I was several years ago when I hired them to install an I-beam in my basement, I was very impressed with the professionalism of the Glenn Marsee firm. They turned up as promised and did a fine job in all respects. I watched them pour the new footing so now it is substantial and carefully done. They finished off the concrete block superstructure with an attractive coating and carefully cleaned up afterwards.
