Description of Work: Estimate and work were painless. Floodbusters installed the GrateDrain system along 3 of our 4 basement walls. They also installed a second sump pump. The whole experience was much more pleasant than our experience with another company which had installed a system along one wall years ago. They had 2x the crew, much less professionalism, and charged us $5k...for one wall. Idiots. | |Floodbusters is happy to answer any questions the homeowner has and will explain the installation process, the products involved, and their operation.

Description of Work: Floodbuster's INC, installed a new sump pump and drain system in my basement. The owner of the company was the person to provide my estimate and oversee the start of the work. Once work commenced, a foreman was assigned. The team worked quickly completing the task is the expected time frame. Work and clean-up was done neatly and swift. They were also flexible and came back a few times to fix things that I was uncomfortable with, including redoing an area to accommodate the tiling of my floor. I am very happy with the service and will definitely recommend them to others.

They were able to schedule us quickly and we liked how he explained their procedure. It was a small crack that had leaked one time, only a little, so we was scared off by other companies proposing crazy repairs, drilling into the floor, etc. So we were relieved when Floodbusters proposed something more reasonable and in line with what home repair experts were proposing online. The price was a little higher than some quotes, but we liked them and they gave us a better deal when we asked them if they could go lower. The guys were a little late on the day, but they did call to say they were running late. The repair on the wall was quick and the sump pump install was even quicker. They both did a great job. Be prepared that there is a little dust after they repair a crack, so move anything you can ahead of time. They did cover everything with plastic and tried to keep it clean, but dust just travels easily. We were impressed and would use them again.
Description of Work: Fix leaking crack in basement foundation wall and install second battery back-up sump pump.

They did a pretty good job. They do scheduling fast to come out and do the work. They said they would be here in a month or 3 weeks. Floorbusters came out on Tuesday and they did the job on Friday.

The price they quoted me was about $6000. The quote was too high. The fix was completely 180 from what the other three people had said. Their fix maybe was a valid fix; it just did not go along with what the others were saying. The guy that came out to do the estimate was pretty clean and he wasn’t real experienced. He came out pretty quick. He was also very professional.
Description of Work: Floodbusters Inc. came out about a month ago and did an estimate for basement waterproofing.

The guy who came out was nice. He was professional. I didn’t have any problems with him. They had different plans like economy plan, basic plan and things like that. I noticed that their price was structured. He gave me different options. He wasn’t salesy. I would not contact them again in the future; I would like to go with a provider who is lower in cost.
Description of Work: I got a quote from Floodbusters Inc to jackhammer my basement and to install a French drain.

We have had a super dry basement, never any problems since the job was done. Best ten thousand dollars I have ever spent. After spending years in the basement with a dry vac getting water out of the basement, I'm not sorry for doing this at all. We didn't have a drop of water after the big snow storm we had last year. I was impressed with how quickly they did it. Once they showed up all of that was done in three days. We moved where our sump pump was because where it was wasn't working and so they closed that up and put the new one in. They were fast, they came in, did the work, were reasonably clean, and their follow up was good. They were a good company to deal with, I would recommend them. It's expensive but what they do works. They did a good job. They weren't the cheapest but they weren't the most expensive either.
Description of Work: We had leaks in our basement so they installed a French drain around the perimeter of our house inside, a triple safe sump pump, a safety device to prevent the discharge lines from freezing, a dehumidifier, and a pressure release system to the dehumidifier.

Their prices were fair and they were reliable. They come back every year to do servicing.
Description of Work: They put in a sump pump and put in a new French drain and tied it into the sump pump and an emergency battery into the sump pump.
