They did a very nice job. They were very efficient. He called back right away and set up an appointment and he was very responsive on the phone, but we just had to wait three months for them to come out and do it because they were pretty busy. They came in and did the job in a timely manner. They cleaned up very well. It was an expensive job, but we had like three different estimates and they were very competitive in their pricing. The quality was very nice. They came when they said they would and finished when they said they would. They were very professional. I would recommend them to other people.
Description of Work: We used Pioneer Basement Solutions for waterproofing. They dug a trench on the inside of the basement and drilled out to the outside pipes and then put in a drain pipe and a sump pump. They also put up interior walls.

I found them on Angie's List and they came highly recommended. The comments on them were very good too. I had them come out and do the first estimate and didn't call anybody else. They did it and they were outstanding. They gave me a five percent discount because I was an Angie's List member, which was nice. They turned my wet basement bone dry and I don't have any more problems. What stood out the most was the overall standard of the owner and how long he has been in the business and how easy he was to work with. The only thing negative I would say is that they are so busy because they do such a good job and it was a long time between our quote and the work, but that is another reason why I used them. They must be doing something right if they have got a lot of work right now. They were a little bit later than I expected.
Description of Work: Pioneer Basement Waterproofing put in a custom internal waterproofing system that drains into my sump pump.

The basement has to be done on the whole inside but I didn't let them do that because of the dust issue because I have asthma. They were so very honest with me because I told them I was a severe asthmatic. He went above and beyond what he needed to do. They had to dig a big hole to put in the sump pump. I had a battery backup done and they couldn't put the battery in its place until the concrete dried. He told me I could just scoot the battery over. Then he looked at me and the battery and said not to worry about it and that he would come back the next day to do it. I am real little and elderly. He came back the next day and moved the big battery with me, which was nice. They tore up the yard to put in a long drainage pipe and they put everything back. They saved all the grass and put it back. I could not even tell where they had dug up the yard. I will eventually have to have the basement done and I will use them. I paid around $1,000 more for the battery backup. They were just exceptional. I would definitely recommend them. Their price was lower than other companies. They were right there when I called in with questions. They were perfect on their punctuality. I can't say anything bad about them. There was not one thing that I was not satisfied with. Everything was perfect and top notch.
Description of Work: I used Pioneer Basement Solutions to put in a sump pump and I talked to them and got an estimate for waterproofing the basement.

Everything went well, the guys were professional and curtious. The gentleman completed the job quickly, and no further problems have occurred. I had just had a good rain recently and there were not further leaks. Also, the supervisor on the job also took the time to teach me something about my existing system. And answered all of my questions that I had. When they arrived, they had laid down material to protect my carpet and cleaned up afterwards....all of the way to the entrance.
Description of Work: I had a section in the basement that was waterproofed because it was more of a barrier between the main room and the storage compartment. Unfortunately, it was still connected to the main walls, thus allowing water to flow through. The whole wall needed to be waterproofed. There were a couple of challenges: having cell blocks instead of cinder blocks and having a bar on the other side of the wall.

Extremely professional crew, hardworking. I was asked questions before they began. They worked three days, finishing the job on time. The basement looks much better, and with the company's high ratings, we're confident things will go well in the long run.
Description of Work: Removed old concrete basement sink, installed drain around outer walls inside basement, installed sump pump, installed vinyl on the same walls. Unhooked and moved washer and dryer, moved back and hooked them up again.

Signed a contract with Pioneer to perform basement waterproofing. Gave a deposit of $260 with the confirmation that the work would be performed in July because the company was booked until then. After approximately two weeks or more was called by sales person to let us know that the work would be performed on July 4 and 5. Questioned the individual about the July 4 date--never occurred to him that was the holiday. Was told he would call back with a different date. Weeks went by and finally got a call that Pioneer had called my city to get instructions on what was needed to do work and did not like what they heard. Could not understand what the issue could be since I have used a number of contractors from Angie's list and this is the first time I've gotten this response about the city I live in. Called the city for my reference and was told they required a permit and proof that a licensed plumber would be doing the install of a sump pump. Normal I would think for this type of work. In any event, got a call back from Pioneer late May saying they did not want to "jump through hoops" to do work in my city and would return the check. Which explained why it had not been cashed in such a long time--and after further thought--was probably a good move not to move forward with them. It is now June and I have to start over looking for a contractor which I am sure are completely booked by now. And this has been a very raining season and the work has to be done. These folks had an excellent rating, the reason we selected them--not so excellent for me.

Pioneer Basement Solutions out of the Canton, Ohio office. They came in as scheduled and finish ahead of time. They cleaned up as promised. I did not have to go back and cleanup anything. They covered my flooring from the front door down to the basement. They did everything as estimated and the price was better than any other company gave me. I would use them again, if any other issues were to arise in a different area of the basement.
Description of Work: Water was coming into the basement wall, from a concerte deck. they place a drain line across the back wall on the inside and tied it into the sub pump. They broke through the concrete floor with out disturbing the finished side of the wall. They also ran my patio drain line out further in my lawn under ground and did not distrube the lawn you could not even tell they did it.

It was a great experience. There was no pressure during the initial inspection and estimate. I was given two possible options to fix my problem. They fit me in the schedule quicker than expected when they had a cancellation. The crew showed up and did a great job without any mess.

They were prompt, clean, professional and did a wonderful job. The only problem: we had to replace a washer hose and utility tub hose because they leaked after the reconnect and they didn't tighten the gas hookup to the dryer tight enough and we had to have the gas company come out to fix (at no cost) the leak when we discovered it. In fairness-the gas valve was probably over 30 to 40 yrs old and needs to be replaced anyway.
Description of Work: Partial removal of old waterproofing system, replace with new tile and gravel, floor to ceiling vinyl, and installation of sump pump. They even moved out the old I beams to fit the vinyl behind them and then replaced them. All other firms would only abut the vinyl up to the I beam and not go behind.

It went very well. Ron came out to give me an estimate and he gave me options about what to do with some problem areas. We agreed on the panels and the crew came out a few days later and installed them.
Description of Work: They installed vinyl panels and trim on the walls of a room in the basement and on 2 walls that extended out from the room, which really improved the appearance. They were very nice and professional and I wouldn't hesitate hiring them again.

Ron and his staff were very friendly and professional. They arrived on time in 2/22/11 and 2/23/11 and completed the work in the time planned, despite adverse weather. They sought owner input and reviewed with owner what had been completed. Cleaned up after themselves when job was completed. Over all a good experience.

2 1/2 day project. Covered everything inside basement with plastic; clean up was amazing! Couldn't even tell crew was there. Outside I had to look closely in back yard to see where they trenched. My wife and I couldn't be more pleased. Completed a $15,000 basement project in fall 2007. We haven't had a drop of unwanted water in our basement!
Description of Work: Trenched 1/2 of basement, installed new drainage pipe then recovered with concrete. Installed 2nd sump. Tied all this together. Trenched outside behind house, installed new drainage pipe and replaced dirt and sod. Tied downspouts and this new drain into existing drain to sewer.

We solicited estimates from four companies. Pioneer was the most professional in its presentation. There were no high pressure sales tactics, the price was significantly lower than two of the others, & very competitive with the third. Outside of a little extra dust in the house from breaking up the concrete, the job was done neatly & very efficiently. Most importantly, after many years of a leaky basement, there has been no moisture anywhere since the job was completed over a month ago.
Description of Work: The company installed drainage on three sides of the inside of the basement, & put in a new sump pump. This require digging a trench about a foot wide along the perimeter of the basment, putting in the drainage pipes, & re-cementing the floor.
