Overall, very smoothly. Roger did most all of the construction and was outstanding. He was punctual and handled all City of Avon building code requirements, which included meeting with inspectors. With Roger's experience, he was able to formulate a plan for our basement that turned out really well. I learned very quickly that I could rely on Roger to take care of all the details, and he did. I'm very satisfied with my experience with The Basement Guys. Thank you!

The estimate was very reasonable and included waterproofing the problem walls; putting in a new sump pump with a battery backup, an outside ice guard; new drain from the house to the street on the outside connecting the sump pump and two rain gutter downspouts; sealing any cracks inside and out on the exposed block walls; and a mold treatment to the affected walls. The work was scheduled quickly and completed in three days. Everyone was very professional and made sure that the movement of dirt and dust through the rest of my house was kept to a minimum. They also cleaned up after themselves on a daily basis. A supervisor stopped on site to review the work and answered any of my questions. I have now used two different waterproofing companies for two different houses, at one I used Ohio State Waterproofing and more recently The Basement Guys. Both did good work and solved my water issues, but Ohio State Waterproofing is extremely high pressure and plays a game in the pricing and is much more expensive even after they drop their price as part of their game plan. If you need basement waterproofing make sure The Basement Guys is one of the companies you contact.
Description of Work: I had continuing leaks through the walls in my basement and basement recreation room. I needed the walls waterproofed and a transferable warranty since I was about to put the house on the market for sale.

Company made a follow up call to explain that they did not come to the appointment because they could not reach me the day before to confirm the meeting. I checked my messages and found that they did not leave a message. However, a new appointment time was arranged, their representative arrived on time and the review of conditions, estimate and presentation of their solution were all handled very professionally.
Description of Work: They made an appointment to review my basement condition and propose a fee and failed to show or notify me that they would not be able to make it.

It was quite the dirty job and they placed plastic down in kitchen to keep the mess to minimum They could have done a better job of cleaning up the area of the yard used to mix the cement. I'm probably being too picky but keep that in mind if you do use them. I would certainly hire them again. The guys worked very hard and it was hard work. They responded very quickly to resolve an issue with the sump pump shortly after the work was complete. .
Description of Work: Replaced interior drain tiles around the perimeter of the basement. Added a battery back up for the sump pump.
