We apologize that we were unable to help you. We won't take on a job that is out of our expertise and skill area and unfortunately the work you needed was not something we do.

Response from Adirondack Basement Systems, Inc.
[Member Name Removed], I apologize if there was any damage to your property or the clean up was not properly done. I was surprised to see your review as we were never made aware of any issues after your installation back in August. I am forwarding this on to our Production Manager and will have him give you a call first thing in the morning to find out exactly what happened and see what we can do to rectify these issues. Please don't ever hesitate to contact us if you have any issues or concerns. If there is ever a mistake made by any of our employees, we take it very seriously and do whatever we can to rectify the situation. I apologize for any inconvenience and we will do our best to make this right.

Description of Work: Ron Patterson preformed service on a Sanidry XP dehumidifier. The unit was under preforming moisture removal. Unit was running continuously. Unit tested and found to be low on refrigerant. The unit was refilled with refrigerant. The unit is now working with only infrequent operation to keep humidity at desired level (50% or less)

Description of Work: Adirondack Basement Systems installed metal supports on 4 walls of the foundation. The soil around our foundation is clay which expands and contracts putting a strain on the foundation.

They did a very thorough and professional job with the estimate. It took a long time for me to get an estimate. It took me more than 2 months to get an estimate.

Adirondack Basement originally came on September 22, 2011, but left because they thought there might be fuel oil in our sump pump. There wasn't. The soonest appointment we could get was three weeks later.
Description of Work: We had to have our ultra sump pump replaced after two floods within ten days. We had six feet of water in our basement for each, so sump pumps alone, not even with a drain around the room, weren't going to cut it. Also replaced the water watch alarm and our backup battery.

They are a very busy company and took several weeks for their estimator/engineer to get to us but when he did, he spent several hours measuring/examining and explaining their procedures, products and techniques. It was a couple months more before they could start the job but once started, they were fast, neat and courteous. The wall power braces actually pushed the basemant wall back a little. The drains along the wall were put in place after the jack hammered a trough for them, weep holes we drilled in the block to relieve any water build up, and the drain was cemented over - a really nice job. We got the triple safe sump pump system with triple redundency pumps - two electric motors and a battery powered motor -to ensure the water is out of the sump. They also installed a large dehumidifier which also drains to the sump. We also had their electrician install the two power lines from the breaker box to the two pump motors. They did a really great job and, given the work involved and equipment installed, at a very resonable cost.
Description of Work: They had to brace up the cellar wall which was being pushed in by water pressure, install a french drain along the wall and install sumps to get rid of any water that got in. They also installed a dehumidifier to keep the basement dry and mold free.

The project was estimated at four days. It took about 3 and 1/2 days. All work was performed professionally with materials as estimated. The workers cleaned up after themselves and took care to keep things as clean as possible.
Description of Work: The company dug out a trench around the perimeter of my basement interior, laid stone and installed plastic gutter system, new sump hole with triple pump system. They also installed plastic wall covering that drains any water coming in through the walls into the gutter system. Gutter system was concreted over. Also installed was a dehumidifier system and new basement windows.

I contacted them y email, they responded the next work day and set up a home vist. A couple of days later I received a package of material from the company detailing different drainage scenarios that caused wet basement, including "natural" events and solutions. The initial contact person was very knowledgable, came out looked over the situation and sat down and wrote a proposal. The day of the installation, the worked arrived on time, very professional and polite! He went to work and as it turned out there was not bed-rock in my floor that would have cost extra to be jack hammered out in order for the sump pump to be installed appropriately. When he had finished the work, his work area was cleaned (cleanest area in the basement). I talked with the office, they returned my call to inform me that the extent of the prep work was less and that I would be refunded. The entire experience was very excellent.
Description of Work: Reinstalled a sump pump, dug out the pit, installed collection pail, installed new pump, backfilled and concreted around new collection pail, redid the piping and exit through the foundation, buried the pipe aprox 15 ft from foundation Excellent job!

They are a very professional company that has their own array of basement waterproofing products. After years of water problems, I thought my basement was in horrible shape. Their lead salesman informed me that is was not bad at all. They could have sold me more products (e.g., new French drain, sump pumps) but informed me that mine were in good condition and they were not necessary purchases. From that point on, they called and e-mailed regularly to follow-up on scheduling and other details - including my satisfaction with the service, every step of the way. The workers were as advertised - courteous, hard-working and very clean. I highly recommend this company for anyone who wants to deal with water issues in their basement and/or improve the appearance of their basement. For 26 years, my basement always stressed me out. Now, I'm proudly showing it to everybody!
Description of Work: I had their wall system installed to cover water damaged poured conrete walls, one basement window was replaced and I purchased a commercial dehumidifier.

The technician was prompt in arriving, inspected the pump and saw the reason for the problem right away. He adjusted that unit and then looked over and made adjustments to the three other pumps in our system to ensure no issues would arise with them. Tested the pumps, reviewed the outside discharge arrangements, answered all our questions readily. He was courteous and took pains to clean up after himself. Very professional service.
Description of Work: Technician responded to our call that one of the newly installed sump pumps had problems shutting off during a heavy rainstorm. The problem had resolved itself but we wanted the company to check out the hardware.

Great job. Three men worked steadily Monday-Friday. They arrived on time, were knowledgeable and courteous, answered all our questions. Clean up was complete. The sales rep who estimated the job for us was most pleasant, took his time, offered suggestions, did not do a hard sell on items we declined to install such as windows and dehumidifier. The owner visited the job before work began to personally inspect the walls, ruling out any issues that were suspect in the salesman's photographs and might have made the work more complex and costly.
Description of Work: Excavated concrete floor one foot from wall around full perimeter, installed drainage system and two sump pump assemblies with all plumbing including trenching to front yard, drilled weep holes in lower courses of concrete block, sprayed walls with Moldex, covered all walls with Brite Wall panels as moisture barrier, sprayed foam insulation along sill panels at top of wall, covered drainage system with new concrete.

They have their people come out exactly when they say they will. They send you material before they come out which gives you idea for questions to ask. They are very intelligent. They asked what we wanted from them. They didn?t try to sell us. They gave us an appointment. They notified us a week before hand. They were punctual. The job lasted the amount oftime they told us. They are a very professional organization.
Description of Work: They put in a second sump pump in our basement to carry drainage away. We live in an area with a high water table. They put in a whole basement dehumidifier.

Salesman very knowledgeable and answered our questions. Installer very efficient and patient explaining what we needed to know about the unit and upkeep. Office staff very helpful. We love the unit and believe it will allow us to store more itmes in the basement that we were previously unable to due to the dampness.
Description of Work: Installed a humidifier system to eliminate dampness in basement. Water is extracted and drains into outgoing pipe.

They did good! The gentleman came out to do the estimate late in the evening. He did a full estimate for waterproofing, and he was very informative. They had to order the beams for the reinforcement, and it only took them about four hours to install those. The work was great.
