Description of Work: The Hydra crew were prompt and very efficient. They placed several steel beams in my basement to stabilize cracked and leaking walls. They dug a trench around the entire perimeter and installed PVC pipe, filled the trench with pebbles, and installed concrete around all edges. They installed a sump pump and drainpipe through the front lawn. They made sure appropriate electrical systems were moved and reinstalled correctly. They did all this in three days without disrupting any major systems I needed to use. Best of all, I haven't had a drop of water in my basement since the work was completed, and we have had some heavy rain at times. Pat Kirby was wonderful, and I would highly recommend him and his crew to anyone who wants an affordable and permanent solution to their basement problems.

Description of Work: Pat from Hydra Basement Waterproofing was spectacular! We had to remedy issues in our basement to complete the sale of our house. Pat went above and beyond, making our buyers feel comfortable with the solution and working to meet our deadlines for completion. He was prompt with phone calls and with responding to questions/concerns. The crew, Noah and Rich, arrived on time, well prepared with protective floor coverings and necessary tools/materials ...as well as being knowledgeable of the product installed. They took the time to show and explain to me the stages of installation as it progressed. I would highly recommend this company without hesitation.

Description of Work: After a soaking rain over the weekend, I am excited to report that my basement is DRY. The waterproofing was installed by super professional and very clean team of Mark, Randy, Ricky and Noey. Each morning, they started with the green runway to keep my hardwood floors protected and at the end of the day, the basement was cleaner than the day before. During their installment process, several other home repair items were discovered. No high pressure pitch, just a thoughtful reminder of the needs of an aging house. |The team was great, the price right and peace of mind, priceless. Would highly recommend Hydra for Super Service.

Description of Work: Waterproofed our basement. They installed a perimeter drainage system inside, as well as replacing the sump system. The initial work was done around 2010. Most recently, they replaced a pump which died. Stellar service both times!

Description of Work: Pat Kirby paid a visit to examine our basement situation and give an assessment and an estimate for work needed. He was punctual, informative, and professional, and his price was very competitive with the other estimates received. We chose to use a competitor in this case but would definitely consider using Hydra sometime in the future.

Description of Work: Had the crawl space on the house encapsulated. Pat and his team were great to work with. Pat took his time evaluating the entire crawl space, explaining the work to be done with a clearly written estimate. The crew was on time, and finished on schedule. They left the work area neat and clean. Great job. I would highly recommend Hydra.

Description of Work: We had water problems in the basement and had three different companies come out to look at it and give us estimates to do the work. I was happy with the quote and the scope of work that Pat Kirby proposed. They came to do the work when they said they would be there and were very professional and cleaned up everything when they were done. We still had some water problems after the initial work was completed and they were very responsive in getting to the bottom of our problems. I would recommend them to anyone.

Always on schedule.
Description of Work: Pat KIrby and his crew are wonderful. I have used them twice in the last year to fix basement issues for my clients(I'm a Realtor.) Pat(the owner) is committed to doing a great job 100% of the time. He calls and gives updates on progress on a regular basis, and definitely cares about about every customer. He is always looking for the most economical route to fix the problem. I recommend him frequently to clients, and that's saying a lot, since if he did a bad job it would reflect poorly on me!

Perfect.
Description of Work: Pat gave us a quote for installing a sump system and internal drain system in our basement. His quote was detailed and he followed up several times after the quote. We contracted with Pat and he told us it would take three (3) days. He was right on. The work was professional, the guys on the job cleaned everything up and the finished project is absolutely professional. They were unbelievably good to deal with.

Response from Hydra Basement Waterproofing
I WAS TAKEN ABACK WHEN I SAW THIS REPORT AS THESE ARE NOT THE GRADES WE STRIVE FOR AND ARE ACCUSTOMED TO RECEIVING. I SENSED THAT MY PRICE WAS LOWER THAN ALL VENDORS, AND THAT'S WHY WE GOT THE JOB. I REMAINED AT THE JOB SITE WHILE THE WORK WAS PERFORMED BECAUSE I FELT THAT BEING ELDERLY MY CUSTOMERS MIGHT BE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH STRANGERS IN THEIR HOME. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT IN THE CONTRACT WE VOLUNTARILY RETURNED AFTER THE CONCRETE SET AND REASSEMBLED SHELVES, A LARGE ELECTRIC TRAIN SET AND REPOSITIONED MISCELLANEOUS FURNITURE. I WAS PROUD OF EVERYTHING WE DID, AND THANKED MY CREW ACCORDINGLY. I CALLED THE HOMEOWNER AND VOICED MY SURPRISE AT THE GRADES RECEIVED. I THEN ASKED THEM THAT, IF WE WERE REMISS, ARE THERE ANY CORRECTIONS THAT NEED TO BE MADE. I WAS TOLD THAT THOSE WERE NOT THE GRADES ASSIGNED, THEY WERE FULLY SATISFIED WITH OUR WORK, AND WOULD RECOMMEND OUR COMPANY TO ANYONE.

See above.
Description of Work: Pat Kirby explained in detail how his company installs basement waterproofing. While we liked the system, we decided not to go with it as we are moving and time constraints would not allow such extensive work. We have heard great things about Hydra and will keep this company in mind for future reference.
