Description of Work: Christian came in to look at the leak in our basement which started after we ripped up then re-did our driveway. He did an outstanding job of presenting likely causes and what could be done to remedy it. He gave us all options and did not try to steer us towards the most expensive. In fact, he listened carefully to our situation and then presented a cost effective solution which appears to have been done the trick. I would highly recommend him.

Description of Work: There was an initial quick communication stating they were away. 2 weeks after the date of return no communication. Emailed and their response was to come the next day. Replied stating that was too short of a notice and ask for 2 other dates. No reply. Due to communication problems I no longer felt comfortable with this company and cancelled.

Unfortunately we are sorry to hear this issue. We researched the conflict and found that Angie's list Calendar was not working properly. We're sorry for the confusion.

Description of Work: The company is installing an interior french drain system in our basement. The work is still on going but they are doing an amazing job. The workers are professional and hard-working. We cannot wait for the final results. Our basement already seems improved. They even pointed out another issue that we should get resolved that everyone else missed.

It was fine. We’re still considering moving forward with the estimate. He was professional and nice. I just need to get some other estimates and make sure that we will actually going to do the work. He certainly walked me through every place and showed me different things. The price to give me an estimate was very reasonable. It took him a little time to give me the estimate back.

We spent a great deal of time carefully reviewing all areas. Mr. Sundahl provided a very detailed commentary as we proceeded and I learned a great deal. He found no areas that needed work, did not try to sell me any further services and warned me that some "problems" were meaningless. As an example... vertical hairline cracks in the external concrete that covers the concrete block foundation r not an issue. I also learned that concrete block foundations are more porous, cheaper and less reliable than poured concrete foundations. Good lesson should we ever again build a house.
Description of Work: Mr. Sundahl performed a thorough external and basement inspection (Angie's List Deal) for water/foundation damage.

We have not done any work with them. They worked out very well. It was probably a month ago. It was very easy. My husband handled it, so, I am not exactly sure. He came over into our house and looked at the basement we were concerned about and had it to the basement dry. It is our house that we currently remodeling. We are just starting that process now. We will soon have our information for you on the contractor we showed and on the three companies that we used for clearing some trees of the property. We talked to several different contractors and each contractor had their own story about what needed to be done but we did not use to do their story. I think they were professional. So, now, we are going with our general contractor but we wanted to do some research before, we had a sense of what might be going on in this basement, so, we called the 2 professionals to specifically specialized in basements, that is what we did. He is going to put in some reducing stuff, and french drains. I like him, he was good, and he had a good product. If we work, we have not thinking about redoing our whole basement, he surely might actually redoing the whole house, have someone definitely would be considerate, and he is very knowledgeable. $13667 is the total investment of the service.

Description of Work: "Sundahl Restoration inspected the foundation of my home and proposed a solution to the ongoing problem of flooding in both the basement and the garage. The house was built in 1959 and another waterproofing system had been installed decades ago. It was never truly effective though. Water seeped into both areas with almost any rainfall. | |Sundahl's solution took about 2 full days and several workers. They dug a trench around the inside perimeter of the foundation and installed pipe to carry water to two new pumps. These pump the water away from the foundation. | |Although there's been only one significant rainfall since the work was done, it's clear that this solution works. Prior to it's installation, an inch of rainfall water would have flooded both areas. There's been absolutely no water and even the musty ""basement"" smell is gone. | |I'm pleased with the way the project was handled from start to finish. Christian Sundahl and his foreman were great to work with, very professional. I was informed what would take place and how, and then invited to come and see the work as it progressed and to ask any questions. I would definitely recommend them to others. "

The guy that came out is selling his work. He just went into my basement look at the floor and then he came upstairs and gave me a bid paper with the cost of the work and it cost 11,000 whatever money and we went around the house. I expected really more from them. I think those guys are just selling whatever they're doing to make big money. I told them that I cannot afford the project and the guy was kind of disappointed. He tried to convince me that I really have to do that. He's professional and everything but he is just selling his job, a job that makes him a lot of money. I would not use them in the future. They're really pushy.

Response from Sundahl Restoration LLC
[Member name removed], I appreciate your feedback; however I'm not sure you are qualified to evaluate my performance, as you were not present for the 15 point inspection. I in fact met with your wife. At the time of the inspection, your wife was not willing to completely tour the basement with me, as she was afraid to go into the unfinished portion of your basement due to the condition and possible mice. My evaluation of your basement is very clear, you have a large crack in the floor due to hydrostatic pressure, and this is in need of repair. Additionally, you have water seepage from the walls and white powder also known as efflorescence. You also have cracks in your walls, which is indicative of a water problem. Whether you choose to take care of it or not, it WILL present issues in the future. I encourage you to research online and see what others say about aforementioned issues. I invite you to have additional waterproofing specialists evaluate your situation. I can assure you, they will give you the same assessment and complete the work for a much larger cost. In regards to me being "pushy", I have to disagree. As you stated ”he was professional” how can someone be professional and “pushy” at the same time? It has been two weeks since my visit to your home, and I have not followed up with you or your wife, so I can't be all that "pushy". The only issue that is "pushy" is the water that is causing your walls and floors to crack. I have been waterproofing homes for over 15 years, and although this is my livelihood, I don't look to overcharge my customers. I also offer a lifetime transferrable warranty on all work I perform. This is something no other waterproofing company offers. As I recall, your wife mentioned that another contractor dealing with your floors called attention to this very issue. Also, if your wife didn't respect my opinion, why did she then ask me for a recommendation of a company that deals with well pumps, because your well tank is in such poor condition and leaking. I spent over an hour in the basement and walking around the exterior of the house with your wife, who understood the situation. It’s unfortunate that you feel the need to negatively comment on my work, when you were not truly there to speak to it. I can understand that you may be apprehensive because of the cost, but I must tell you, the previous owners delayed correcting this issue, and that is why you are in this situation. My estimate to repair your foundation was for less than one percent of the cost for the home. How could it would be unwise not spend that to stabilize what is holding up your entire investment. You are not obligated to use my company or even fix the issues that I've pointed out. I simply came to evaluate what you asked me to which includes: 1.) Landscape Drainage (your home is on a hill; therefore all water from rains flows downhill and builds up against the home, similar to a dam, which is why your front yard is always muddy). Also this is why your basement is damp and leaking too, all concrete acts a wick. 2. and 3.)Gutters and Down Spouts (are in excellent condition, and require no servicing). 4.) Foundation Cracks (I visibly saw cracks in the walls from the interior and exterior of the structure; therefore the cracks need to be repaired or the basement will continue to leak). 5.) Crawlspace Ventilation (since you have a crawlspace with access to the basement, no ventilation is needed. 6.) Vapor Barrier (there are none in the house; therefore nothing is required). 7.)Sump Pump (there is no sump pump; therefore one IS NEEDED, which was included in my estimate). 8.) Basement Floors (Large crack that runs across the entire width of the floor, which signifies that the floor is broken in half). 9.) 10.) Basement Wall and Overall Mold Conditions. (Due to there being evidence of some mold on the sheet rock, this shows that water has at some point penetrated the basement). 11.) Structural Wood in Basement (there was no evidence of any damage to the wood in the basement). 12.) Condition of Dry Wall/Visible Cracking (Other than possible presence of mold, there were no other visible issues to note). 13.) Floor Condition (In conjunction with the floor crack, the flooring in the finished area of the basement was bouncy and sagging possibly due to water under the floor, but at time of inspection I was unable to validate this, without damaging portions of the floor by removal). 14.) Interior Doors (Doors were difficult to open and would not shut properly due to moisture in the basement which is why there is a dehumidifier mounted in the wall in the basement. The dehumidifier was not running at the time of the inspection and was placed there by previous owners who likely knew they had a moisture problem). 15.) Exterior Doors/Windows (There are no exterior doors in the basement and the windows are above ground level; therefore no repair is needed). In conclusion, I performed this 15 point inspection and reviewed the issues with your wife at the dining room table. I offered a solution to these extensive issues, and provided a price quote. I feel you did not like my pricing, therefore you felt the need to slander my business, my experience, and my expertise. Not everyone can afford to do this type of work, which is likely why you were sold the home in this condition. Your basement is larger than most people’s basements, which means it requires more care and more work. If you read my reviews, you will see my pricing is right in the ballpark of where I priced your estimate, which is a deal considering the size of your basement. You stated in your feedback that I just went into the basement, looked at the floor, and then came upstairs. How is that possible when I provided such extensive information in your estimate, which I have again detailed above? Not to mention a full detailed schematic of the basement. In doing further research as a homeowner, I encourage you to look at the terms and issues listed above. You will find that the information is accurate and coincides with other situations similar to yours. There are only two ways to resolve the situation, one is to excavate the perimeter of the home and install a new exterior drainage system, as well as to re-waterproof the walls; however in order to perform this according to CT Building Standards, everything within a 10 foot radius must be removed, which will include your walkway, front stoop, bushes, gardens, and your back deck. The second alternate resolution is to do an interior water management system, which is what I have recommended as a cost savings to you. Just because you didn’t like what it was going to cost you to repair your foundation doesn’t give you the right to illegitimately rate my company the way you have.

We are extremely happy with the work that was done to waterproof our basement. We had just bought our home, and quickly learned that with heavy rains, water was coming up through the basement floor. While it was only an inch or so of water, we wanted the problem resolved. Christian, the owner of the company, came personally to look at our basement and give us a quote for the job. He took a lot of time to review and explain in detail how he intended to address our problem, and answered all of our questions. The job took about a day and half to complete, and Christian and team drilled up the concrete to install french drains, a sump pump, and put in a dry well in the backyard to pump the water into. While the work did create a lot of dust, they were careful to block off the doorways so it did not get into our kitchen which is right up the steps, or our garage which is next to the basement. We have had absolutely no water since the waterproofing was done, the best test coming over the past week, with heavy rains a few days ago and more today. We have also called Christian a few times with follow-up questions, and has been incredibly responsive. He is a true professional and someone we trusted to have in our home when we were not there. We definitely recommend his services.

After talking with a number of different companies and getting bids, we went with Christian Sundahl because he had the most sensible approach, was willing to handle some simple redo work that was not related to the main job (basement waterproofing), and was competitively priced. We also were impressed by his responsiveness right from the start - and I can't say enough about how responsive he has been, even after the job was completed and paid for. We will use him again if/when other redo needs arise.
Description of Work: Trenched 3/4 of basement perimeter, removed old/mildewed materials, installed new pump system, refinished floor and walls. They also refreshed the basement stairwell with new carpeting and paint.
