very well. We have had recent torrential rains with little to no water in the basement. Only on one day was there a small amount of water that seeped under an outside door into the basement and was mostly caught by a floor drain installed by TarHeel. Tarheel's estimate was lower than a competitor and much more extensive and professional than a competitor.

It was a very "stubborn", time consuming repair but they were always available to listen to my concerns and send a crew for immediate follow up. After several tries a major problem was fixed and I couldn't be happier with the results and the people that helped make it happen

The concrete decking around my pool was lifted up where it had sagged, but the cracks were not repaired, which I was under the impression during the estimate that they would be.

We never had them do any work for us. Their price was high, and it was difficult to see how their suggestions would be effective. Why would they tell you we'd had them do work?

Very well. Tim Martin did an excellent job of assessing the needs and describing the process. He was very straight forward and never applied any pressure at to get on with the paperwork. We had already had an environmental inspection done so we knew there was not a major mold problem. We agreed to having this done and the company contacted us later as to the time for the job. The team came in led by Brian and were very professional in their work the entire two days. Once complete they had us review what was done to make sure we were satisfied before providing us with the final bill. We have noticed an improvement in the temperature in the rooms above the spaces which is definitely an added benefit.
