OUTSTANDING SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM!!! ALL WORK WAS DONE IN AN EXTREMELY PROFESSIONAL MANNER WITH COURTESY GIVEN TO THE CUSTOMER AS WELL AS THE PROPERTY. THE AMOUNT OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE WHICH MR. PHILLIPS HAS WAS CLEARLY SEEN. HIS SON, RYAN, WAS ALSO EXTREMELY HELPFUL IN SUGGESTING CHANGES IN LANDSCAPING GRADE THAT WOULD RELIEVE ADDITIONAL WALL PRESSURE. ALL IN ALL, AN EXTREMELY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE IN TIME COMMITMENT, PRICE, SERVICE, AND COURTESY!!!
Description of Work: THE PHILLIPS COMPANY PUT IN STEEL SUPPORTS ALONG OUR BASEMENT WALL TO COUNTERACT CRACKS IN THE BASEMENT CINDER BLOCKS AS WELL AS WALL CRACKING IN OUR DINING ROOM.

HE SUGGESTED SOME REPAIRS I COULD MAKE ON MY OWN AND TOLD ME I'D NEED TO WORK WITH A DRAINAGE SPECIALIST TO PROFESSIONALLY SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HE SPENT A LOT OF TIME CHECKING THINGS OUT AND EXPLAINING THINGS TO ME. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME HE'S COME OVER TO DO AN ESTIMATE. HE'S ALWAYS PUNCTUAL, FRIENDLY, AND HELPFUL.
Description of Work: RYAN PHILLIPS CAME OVER TO DO AN ESTIMATE. THE DRAINAGE LINE FROM THE SUMP PUMP WAS BLOCKED SOMEWHERE UNDERGROUND, AND WE HAD WATER POURING IN THROUGH THE BASEMENT WALLS DURING THE HEAVY RAINS IN JANUARY.

BRUCE WAS MATTER OF FACT AND FORTHRIGHT. NO PUSHY SALES TECHNIQUES AND HE WAS HAPPY TO RECOMMEND THAT, IF I WAS CONFUSED BY THE CONFLICTING QUOTES AND RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OTHER WATERPROOFERS THAT I GET A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER IN TO INSPECT AND WRITE UP SPECS. I DID FOLLOW HIS RECOMMENDATION AND AM OUT $10,000 LESS THAN IF I'D HAVE GONE WITH THE OTHER GUYS.
Description of Work: PUSH BACK AND BRACE 3 BULGING BASEMENT WALLS. INSTALL DRAIN TILE AROUND PERIMETER OF BASEMENT TO DRAIN INTO EXISTING SUMP TANK. THE CREW REMOVED THE DEBRIS AND LEFT THE BASEMENT IN BROOM SWEPT CONDITION.

THE REP FROM PHILLIPS EXPLAINED WHY WE DIDN'T NEED TO WORRY CURRENTLY, TOLD US WHAT KIND OF BUSINESS TO CONTACT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND TOLD US THE 'SYMPTOMS' OF A WEAK FOUNDATION SO THAT WE COULD MONITOR THE SITUATION. SPENT ABOUT A HALF HOUR TO 45 MINUTES DISCUSSING THE SITUATION WITH MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF, ANSWERED OUR QUESTIONS, AND CHARGED US NOTHING.

I CALLED PHILLIPS TO LOOK AT SOME BASEMENT WALLS WITH LONG HORIZONTAL CRACKS THAT HAVE BEEN SLOWLY EXPANDING OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS. RYAN CAME OUT WHEN SCHEDULED AND SAID THE CRACKING WAS FAIRLY MINOR AND REALLY DIDN'T NEED ANY WORK AT THIS TIME. HE SUGGESTED WAYS OF MONITORING THEM TO DETERMINE IF THEY CONTINUE TO EXPAND. HIS HONESTY IS APPRECIATED.

RYAN WAS EXCELLENT. DID NOT HAVE ANY WORK FOR HIS COMPANY TO DO AND HE STILL TOOK THE TIME TO GIVE ME RECOMMENDATION ON HOW TO FILL THE CRACKS, WALKED AROUND THE ENTIRE BASEMENT TO GIVE ME RECOMMENDATION AND THEN EVEN TOOK THE TIME TO WALK AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE TO GIVE ME SUGGESTIONS ON KEEPING WATER AWAY FROM THE FOUNDATION. HE WAS VERY KNOWLEDGE AND PROFESSIONAL!
Description of Work: DISCOVERED LARGE CRACKS IN THE BASEMENT FLOOR THAT WERE NEVER THERE BEFORE AND NEEDED TO KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING THEM. RYAN SAID HE''D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT BEFORE AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY FROM THE DROUGHT. THE STRANGE THING IS THAT HE THINKS THE CRACKS WERE BEING FORMED FROM THE GROUND RISING BUT WAS GLAD TO REPORT THAT THERE WERE NO CRACKS IN THE WALLS.
