Armored Basement Waterproofing

I would recommend them to others. They warranty their work, life time on the structure of the house. They broom swept and the removed all the debris.

It went great! They finished a day early and cleaned up.

Jay came for a consultation and was great. Professional and detail oriented. He gave me a quote that was fair and explained the work to be done. Chris and his crew came on time, were courteous and professional, cleaned up after the work and explained the work done very well. They specialize in basement waterproofing and I would strongly recommend them to anyone looking for waterproofing services.

This was a very pleasant experience. Jay provided a prompt assessment, recommendation and estimate. The work crew was out within a week. They were polite, and did a neat professional job. It was a pleasure working with this small company. They'll be the first I call should I require similar work in the future.

WOW. I had a few companies come out to our house to diagnose a water issue in our basement. It seemed like it was ground water or maybe a problem with our french drain. The first two companies that came out wanted to charge us thousands of dollars to re-do our drainage system (and sign a contract). Jay Bengston came out to look at the problem, and diagnosed it as a leaking pipe! He diagnosed the problem correctly, even though it meant that he would get 0$ from us for his services. All we need now is a plumber. If I ever need waterproofing services, I'll be sure to us his company in the future. He was incredibly knowledgable and there was no BS from a salesman like a lot of the waterproofing competitors in the area. Incredible service.

Exceptionally well. The team was professional and efficient. I had a plumber out looking at the basement because we thought we had a plumbing issue. I had 2 others not able to figure out what was happening. These guys detected the problem right away and made it easy to schedule the fix!!

It went perfectly. We previously spent a lot of money to have another company work on the basement, and they actually made the problem worse. Jay was able to identify the problem and spent a lot of time explaining the process and the work to be done. He was very patient with us. Jay was on the job site overseeing all the work. The price was fair, the work was thorough, his staff were professional, and they cleaned up after themselves. I couldn't have asked for a better response. And I'm thrilled to finally have a dry basement!

Of all the contractors that we used on our home renovation, they were by far the best. We got 3 other quotes for basement waterproofing, and theirs was the best by several thousand dollars. They were the most professional of all the contractors that we worked with. They tried very hard to schedule the work around other constraints that we had. They were in and out on schedule and completely cleaned up behind themselves. The work was neat and well integrated into the existing basement. They completely cleaned up behind themselves. We haven't seen a drop of water coming in since the work was completed. Don't be swayed by companies with big marketing budgets and high pressure sales people. You won't regret choosing Armored Basement Waterproofing.

It was great! Jay, one of the owners, came out and gave us a fair estimate and was able to get the job done in a crunch as we were hosting our wedding at our home. The crew was punctual and respectful and cleaned up completely. Highly recommend

I've had basement water issues for years. I wasn't planning to deal with it, but we found a new house and decided to move. Now I was under a time crunch to get the existing house fixed and ready to sell. I called and spoke with Tara to get set-up for an appointment. Tara was great and answered all my initial questions. On estimate day, Jay (the owner) came out to my house and agreed to call me 30 minutes ahead of time so I could run home from work. Jay was already there when I arrived home. Jay did a full walkthrough both inside and outside of my house. Ultimately we decided on a new French drain along 2 walls and a sump pump. Jay also noticed a discoloration leak on the front wall and added remediation for that into the project. Chris led a team of 3 on construction day. They were on-time and very careful to keep the house clean. Chris reviewed Jay's write-up with me and jumped right in. Start to finish was about 5 hours and the house was left in great shape. From start to finish, Armored Basement Waterproofing was great. I would recommend to all my friends and family.

Very well! I called Armored Basement after checking Angie's List and having competitors come out. Jay came out and diagnosed the problem (no hard sell). He seemed to know what he was doing, and what competitors do say. Chris crew arrived on time and started to work. The crew covered up stuff in basement with plastic and started to do their thing. Jack-hammered out the inside perimeter of my basement floor, removed the old concrete, sump, drain hose, and then drilled drain holes into the cinder blocks (cells) above the footer, to allow water to drain from them into the dug up trench. Next they installed gravel, the new drain system, more gravel, then covered with cement, not to forget installing a new sump pit and 3/4 HP pump. Installed a new drain grate in front of the outside basement entranceway that drains into the new system. They were finished that afternoon. All of the workers were very personable, courteous, plus were ready to answer any questions I had. Jay, Chris the crew of 5 were very good, and Tara who scheduled the work was also very helpful. We recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing. They have great customer service, qualified experts, and prices that are hard to beat Bring it winter! Description of work: French drain & drain system, walls covered with vinyl, new sump well, sump pump.

Jay arrived at the scheduled time, was very professional. He inspected area of leak. Informed me that his company did not do the type of work to be done and he explained what was needed. Very pleased that he came out and inspected without charging me.

It turned out I did not need any work done (the water was the result of a sewer issue that was addressed by the city) - he was straight forward about it and I appreciated that he didn't try to sell me on something I didn't need. Scheduling and service was prompt and pleasant. If I do someday have a real basement issue, I will definitely call Armored Basement Waterproofing.

Good Job Armored Basement. Thanks Jay and Tara for the good communications with lining up estimate and timing of the work to be done. Price was good and work was performed as promised. Crew showed up on time and was ready to go right to work and had all of the supplies needed for the job. They were professional and I could tell they work well together. Finished the job in a very timely fashion and cleaned up the site when finished. Top notch job and will use Armored Basement again if I ever need a basement waterproofing job in the future. Thanks

Our estimator pointed out that there were holes from termite treatments in our foundation that were likely causing the water infiltration and advised against performing any work at this point beyond plugging the holes ourselves. I am very grateful for their helpfulness and honesty. The price they quoted if we need work done in the future was also very fair. It also only took one day to get an estimate from the time I called!

Excellent. They were on time, finished in one day and left the place cleaner than when they arrived. We have had some heavy rains and there are no problems.

Great! No sales pressure, just a good explanation of the work needed. The work team arrived early and worked neatly and carefully. Job was completed in less than half a day at a very competitive price. Concerns about the placement of the discharge pipe were addressed quickly and efficiently. A pleasure to do business with this company.

I had a very good experience with this company. The owner came out for an estimate and was knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions. I obtained estimates from other companies and Armored Basement offered the best quote. I appreciated that they didn't push for additional work that was not necessary. The installers arrived within the estimated time window and were done by noon. There was also no mess. They covered everything up that needed protection both in the basement and in the path to the door they were using in and out of the house. All the representatives from this company have been courteous, professional and respectful -- from the owner to the customer service representative the workers that completed the installation. I would recommend this company to others.

The crew and company have been excellent to work with! We met with several waterproofing companies before making our final decision. Ultimately we chose them because they made us feel the most comfortable with the work they would perform, had the best price, and were consistently reliable. We are happy with the work they did and would recommend them to anyone that needs waterproofing done on their home!

I was very impressed when they came to do an estimate for the job. After getting several other estimates I felt more comfortable with choosing them to do the waterproofing. They were very professional, arrived on time and completed the job within a day. They took the time to show me what was being done before the job was finished so I could see the entire process while being done.

The owner came out and took a look at my property after a flooding event. He provided a quote within 24 hours that was below other quotes we had gotten. He was very responsive over email and phone. The employees showed up on time on the date of the work. In fact they were 15 minutes early. I was told the job would take all day but actually took just over half a day. The old floor was jack hammered out, gravel put in the floor, new drainage ran under the floor and a new sump pump installed and tested. In addition, vinyl was applied to the walls so any water that did come in would be fed to the drainage system. The work looks very professional, the workers cleaned up very well after the job, they protected our hardwood floors going in and out of the house. They started early, ended early and did exactly what they were supposed to do. They also pointed out a bad electrical wire prior to starting the work which is a bonus because now I can get that replaced. I would recommend this company to anyone in a heartbeat. True professionals.

I?m admittedly a bit cynical when it comes to paying for house work to be done. I grew up in a contractor household so I prefer to do the work myself when possible instead of paying the high labor costs. Because of this, I looked at Armored Basement and other waterproofing service providers with a great deal of skepticism when researching who to go with for an interior perimeter french drain system. I took several estimates and no one felt quite right. I spoke with small operations and bigger operations like Mid-Atlantic. Mid-Atlantic had very high quotes and high-pressure sales which turned me off and the smaller operations didn?t appeal to me either. Armored Basement had the best online reviews and now I know why. Chris? team was quick and efficient Jay was patient and explained the process thoroughly and covered any questions that I had. Their office manager Tara was responsive and very helpful. When the work was completed, my unfinished basement was pretty dusty and my belongings were a bit scattered but it was reasonable. There were a few surprises that I didn?t think about like the wiring component of the sump pumps. If you don?t have an outlet near your sump pump you?ll need to hire a licensed electrician to do the wiring. I haven?t been hit with any rain yet, but overall I?m happy with the service. Make sure to ask plenty of questions and keep the lines of communication open. Discuss ahead of time where you want things like discharge tubes and sumps placed and you will be a happy camper. Also, discuss what will need to be moved and when you can move it back. I recommend Armored Basement Waterproofing. They have great customer service, qualified experts, and prices that are hard to beat.

Armored Basement took care of the unfinished section of our basement which had been causing all kinds of leaks and water problems. They installed a french drain and updated some of our sump pumps. From start to finish they made it easy -- Jay came out and took the time to explain our options and the crew was timely and explained what what happening throughout the job. They did great work.

Crew of six was on time and performed the work efficiently. Residual dust was expected & unavoidable. Clean up could have been more through same with post installation instructions.

A three man team showed up and completed the work within 3 hours. I am pleased to have my basement waterproofed--home is older, built in 1933 and has occasional water coming in from the concrete floor cracks and from the right side of the home when there is a hard rain. I got sick of running the wet vac during storms. This was the best quote and they have a great grade on AL and so I went with them. I haven't had a hard rain yet so I haven't seen the sump pump in action.
