They got here on Monday at 9am finished on Tuesday at 4pm, they were always punctual and curtious, above all we were full of questions the whole time and they were there with all the answer. The crew was very polite, professional, and above all very knowledgeable. I commend Highland on their fine crew, it is obvious that they train them with the utmost of importance. I will defenitely use Highland again if the need arrises, and would highly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They had to jackhammer a trench all the way around the interior of the basement, install a drainage system of PVC pipe and gravel, to include the safe room. They then installed a top rated sump pump in the safe room to extract any future water. They completed the job by refilling and surfacing the trenches with cement. They covered all our furniture with plastic so as not to get dust on anything. The entire crew was very curtious and professional, and the best thing about it was that they finished it in just 2 days. They also washed down the walls and cleaned up after themselves........WOW!!

The property was vacant for several months before we purchased it. After purchasing the property and learning of the lifetime warrany offered by Highland, I called them. Phone call was not returned until I called again and complained. "Mike" called me and after letting him know the address of the property (which he knew very well) he immediately started explaining why warranty may not apply. Several excuses given to "prepare" me for this. Never the less I asked him to come and look at the situation. In the meantime I interviewed several waterproofing companies and each of them pretty consistently explained why the current system was not working (due to workmanship, shortcuts, etc. ) Based on the poor job done in the past, and the conversation I had with Mike on the phone - I cancelled my appt with him. Just not worth the headache and hassle of dealing with them. I will instead be using a different company and pay to have the job done correctly.
Description of Work: Waterproofing of residence was done by previous owners several years ago. Lifetime warranty (as offered by most waterproofing companies) is for the structure itself - not the resident. Therefore warranty transfers to each new owner. System does not work and basement continues to take on water. We recently purchased the home, and most previous owners had Highland come to stop leaking (several times) with no success.

Response from Highland Basement Waterproofing
We maintain a record of all calls and messages that we receive and the Member call was returned to him on the same day he called in. No previous calls from him could be found in our records. While the Member said his basement was wet, he also said at least one of the sump pumps was not working. I explained that any basement interior drainage system required a working sump pump to remove the water that is being collected below the basement floor and set an appointment with him for the following week to come to his house and answer any other questions for him. One hour before that appointment he called the office and canceled. We have no record of servicing that address for at least the past 7 years.

These guys were quick and honest. They did the job with as little mess as plausible. They could have made more money by trenching a tile drain all the way across my basement but found a way to make it work and make it affordable.
Description of Work: had a large crack in the basement wall that leaked water after heavy rains.

They did a terrific job! We haven't had any problems with the leaks since. This was a large, ongoing problem, so I really appropriated the quality of work they performed. They also charged a reasonable rate compared to the other estimates we received. I would highly recommend them.
Description of Work: They fixed two separate leaks, one interior and one exterior.

They came out within 48 hours after I called to give an estimate. They were willing to meet me late in the afternoon after work. They were professional. They came on time and did their work. They were very thorough and did a good job. They cleaned up after themselves too. We have not had any sewage in the area where there was a crack in the foundation since.
Description of Work: I used Highland Basement Waterproofing to fix two cracks in the foundation.

The crew of three was almost 3 hrs late to the job due apparently to some internal confusion. The job went quickly about 4 hrs. The ony complait besides the lack in punctuality was that an outlet box was pulled off the wall in order to install their membrane. The wall was damaged during this process and the guys did not repair it while they were there. When I told Mike about this later he did offer to repair however I had already taken care of this in order to allow painters to work.
Description of Work: I had about 15' of a subgrade wall waterproofed with the installation of a french drain and membrane along wall to direct access water over to an existing sump pump and keep it from running along the floor during periods of exended periods of rain

The office staff, salesman, and work crew were all very professional and prompt. The work plan was more sensible than other bids I obtained, and the price was cheaper, too. The waterproofing carries a lifetime warranty.
Description of Work: Mike promptly gave us a detailed plan of the work, quoted the price, and scheduled the job. A crack in the basement wall that was leaking groundwater during a period of rain was repaired. The crack was covered with a large sheet of plastic that extended into a hole they dug in the basement floor. The area was sealed so the water would flow into the existing drain pipes and sump pump. The job was completed and the work area cleaned in approximately two hours.

My husband was the one who met with the salesman for the estimate but said he was very friendly, informative and took the time to explain everything. He also pulled back our carpet to check the extent of the water damage - which the other company (WAY more expensive) had not done so I thought that was a good sign. He gave us our options and explained that we really didn't need to do the more expensive option which I appreciated. The actual work took a couple days if I remember correctly (unfortunately I took too long waiting until I wrote this review) but the guys were here just to do their work. I didn't feel like they were taking a ton of breaks or anything. The jackhammers were super loud so I tried to stay out of the house for that part. I work out of the house primarily so when I had a conference call I would tell them and they'd either wait to get the loud stuff done or do it before my call - which was greatly appreciated. They also showed me the work when it was finished, talked to me about the sump pump and the warranty, etc. I felt very comfortable with the whole process.
Description of Work: Installed new drain pipe in 1/2 of the basement. Also installed a second sump pump.

Called them on Thursday, and they sent a rep to check out the situation on Saturday. The rep was as NICE a guy as you get. He called before hand to make sure I was there and was respectful, thorough, and Nice! The crew came the following Monday, patched the crack and made drainage through the floor to the sub-basement drainage. It took about an hour.

My initial impression was excellent. The estimate and description of work was more thorough than others I rec'd and in the same ballpark financially. We agreed on a date, was told crew would be here by 7:30am and would take a day. I arranged my day so I would be home. After patiently waiting, I finally called the company at 9:30 and was told a previous job took longer than expected, but the crew would be here in the afternoon. At 5:30pm this poor soul rang my doorbell. After getting an earful, I told him he wasn't going to start this late in the day. The salesman/owner called later that evening and spoke with my husband. My husband agreed to have them do the work. He told my husband they would call the next day with estimated time of arrival. We never got a call. I called later that day and canceled the job. Very unprofessional behavior, a phone call or two just to update us could have prevented the cancellation and a waste of our time.
Description of Work: No services performed.

Response from Highland Basement Waterproofing
I DO UNDERSTAND THE MEMBER'S DISAPPOINTMENT THAT WE WERE DELAYED IN GETTING TO HER JOB. I TOO KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE TO ANTICIPATE THE START OF A LARGE PROJECT. WE TRY OUR BEST TO ALLOW ENOUGH TIME TO COMPLETE EACH JOB AND WE ACTUALLY HAVE AN OUTSTANDING RECORD OF STARTING ON SCHEDULE. HOWEVER, OCCASIONALLY AN UNAVOIDABLE DELAY WILL OCCURE, WHICH HAPPENED WITH THE START OF THE MEMBER'S JOB. WE DID RESCHEDULE HER JOB TO THAT AFTERNOON INSTEAD OF THE MORNING, HOWEVER OUR CREW ARRIVED AT HER HOME AT ABOUT 2:30 THAT DAY, NOT 5:30 , AS SHE STATED. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE THEY CLOCKED OUT AT A LITTLE AFTER 3:00 PM THAT DAY. ALSO I'M SURE WE DID NOT PROMISE HER TO START AT 7:30 AM. OUR CREWS CLOCK IN AT 8:00 AM AND OUT AT 4:30 PM ON A NORMAL DAY. WE TELL HOMEOWNERS TO EXPECT US BETWEEN 8:30 AND 9:00 AM, NEVER 7:30 AM.

The estimate we received from Highland was the most reasonable of the other six we had gotten (one was $13,000 more!). They started the job on time and finished the job exactly in the time frame they said they would. Very professional. We have since finished our basement and have had NO problems.

On two occasions I called Highland Waterproofing, both leaks were on the same wall and one was twice the size of the other and they just patched those spots. My basement has always been dry and never waterproofed before. The first time it was $400, and the second time it was $800.00 and it has not leaked since. I have no idea what they patched it with; total time for both jobs was about three hours more or less.
Description of Work: Highland Basement and Waterproofing Company repaired two different spots in my basement where the water came in after a very heavy rain. My house is 45 years old and about 1250 square foot.
