Description of Work: Drainage needed for back yard incuding 100ft french trench with gravel to street.

Description of Work: They came out and said they would come out the next day. I stayed home from work and told them to give me a call if they wouldn't show up. They never even called.

Description of Work: We had a spot at the foot of the basement stairs that was like a mini lake, and there were other damp spots throughout the basement that was causing mustiness and mildewing of boxes, etc that were stored there. We got estimates from 3 different contractors who all had very different ways of approaching the problem as well as huge differences in prices. We weren't happy with any of the three, but after a little research, we figured out what made sense to us. One contractor refused to change his approach, and one made some minor changes but the plan still was unacceptable. However, Tom and Jon Kelley listened to our comments, then made a second trip from Binghamton to discuss the project. They were completely flexible and came up with a new proposal that fit our needs exactly. The plan was to trench around the outside walls, installing a drain line that ran to a sump pump in one corner of the basement. There was a second drain line and pump in the back part of the basement dedicated to draining the mini lake we had in that area. They scheduled a 4 day job, but got their part done in 3, and then the electrician came in for half a day to make the final connections. The fellows who did the work were both fairly young, very polite and respectful, and cleaned up thoroughly each day after work. I couldn't believe how clean the basement was after they spent a day jack-hammering out portions of the concrete floor. The place was cleaner than when they arrived. It has been a month now, and there is no longer a lake in the basement. There are still a few damp looking spots in the middle of the floor where water is apparently seeping up through the old concrete, but the basement no longer smells musty. I was hesitant to put sump pumps in the basement because of the noise, but these models are super quiet. I heard one run for the first time just yesterday. The only downside is that we felt the job was a little pricey. However, we got what we wanted and are very pleased with the results, so would recommend this company to others.

Description of Work: Complete crawlspace renovation - clean-out, insulation, and encapsulation. This was a large undertaking at my house because the crawlspace was a huge mess. We have a very peculiar foundation that is 1/2 trailer framework and 1/2 conventional floor joists. The underside of the trailer portion still had large tattered swaths of the original insulation blanket, which had become a palatial nesting area for many rodents. Also, the original trailer axles and tongue were still in the crawlspace. Tom and his crew removed all this debris, dismantling and extracting all the unneeded rusting steel components through the crawlspace windows. Once all the cleaning out was complete, the crew got to work insulating, sealing, installing a sump drain pipe, replacing cracked blocks and many other tasks in preparation for the encapsulation. Finally they performed the encapsulation itself, which, in concert with the previous work, turned the crawlspace from a moldy, mildew, rodent infested pit of despair into a tidy, cleanly, accessible space that no longer invokes dread at the thought of venturing down there.
