Description of Work: KIDD Enterprises / Your Dry Basement installed an advanced waterproof system in our basement that included a "Super Drain System" in a trench around the basement floor, a"health Safe" S.R. S. Unit and discharge, a Safe Shield Mold Release Treatment, and Enviro Seal Wall Treatment including the crawl space. They installed R.V.B. to seal the drain system and recementedI the trench. They treated the walls in the crawl spacethe same way, and they put a Flexi Seal over the crawl space and sealed it to the wall. They concreted the floor drains with Water Stop Concrete and installed 3 Enviro View Windows along with a clean up of the window wells. They sealed all exposed wall cracks and installed 4 "H" Beam structural supports on one wall that was starting to cave in. They also provided some topsoil to fill in the sink hole outside that was created by the caved in wall. Before they started, they sealed everything in the basement with plastic and duct tape, even up the steps to prevent dust from the drilling getting on everything. They used drop cloths taped to the floor to cut down on soil and dust where they walked through the hall to the basement. This was removed at the end of each day, and the floor was cleaned and area dusted. They hauled away all debris immediately.

Description of Work: Extensive work to ensure I don't get water in my basement: - removed/treated mold on walls - jack-hammered in a French drain, 18" deep around perimeter. This was much deeper than the other companies offered. - They removed the oil tank so they could both treat mold on wall behind it as well as dig the drain around the perimeter. Other companies suggested digging the drain out into the space around the tank rather than removing and reinstalling it. - Repainted walls with up-to-date moisture sealant - Installed dry-basement-specific "molding" around perimeter to prevent seepage - Installed drain around entire internal perimeter - Tied drain into outside drains - Installed sump pump system, with battery back-up - Also, at no additional cost, moved Radon system so less intrusive in room - hid it back in a corner. Enabled me to remove unneeded radon pipes from ceiling - Went above and beyond with the customer service: tidied tools DAILY, swept and cleaned DAILY, reconnected my laundry DAILY, and many other little extras so that I would not be inconvenienced. - I'm sure I'm overlooking a few things.... Also, because they discovered my entire foundation was on extremely solid limestone, the job took over a week longer than estimated due to the drilling time required. They did not cut corners and they did not try to charge me more. The owner seems extremely knowledgeable, having a background working in all aspects of the quarry business. He shows up regularly on-site, will participate in the labor along with his workers, and seems concerned about his own reputation and completing the job right. He noted that unlike with other trades there are NO REGULATIONS GOVERNING THIS BUSINESS IN PA so anyone can set up this type of business without any experience or training, and that he has tried unsuccessfully to work on this issue with his representative in the PA House. He says lots of his business is re-doing poorly executed work by fly-by-night companies that really don't know what they are doing. He seems very serious about guaranteeing his own work and notes that many of these dry basement places build fine print into their guarantees that leave the client hanging when their basement again springs a leak. When spending this much money, I researched a lot about the process beforehand and asked a LOT of question of contractors. I only invited out companies with good Angie's List and/or BBB ratings. This owner gave me satisfactory, intelligent answers to them all. And, if I remember correctly, he was the ONLY company owner who came out to talk to me. It was evident he had done this work himself many times, knew his trade, and wanted to maintain an excellent reputation. As for my basement? So far, so good....
