Description of Work: Installed french drain around the entire perimeter of the basement. Installed two sumps that were upgrades from previous estimates and now standard choice as well as wired the battery backups and installed the backup pumps. System has worked flawlessly since it's installation. Couldn't be happier.

Description of Work: I am a new home owner who was told that my sump pump needed work. I called several companies to get estimates regarding the work needed so I could have the work completed. Mike was extremely responsive (i.e. I received a callback the same day and Mike came out the next day to inspect my sump pump). While evaluating my sump pump Mike was extremely willing to explain things to me and to answer my questions. As a result of Mike’s evaluation, it was determined that no work is needed at the present time, and the same day Mike emailed me a report and did not charge me for the evaluation.

Basement Lifeguard was referred to us by a friend who had work done by them and was very satisfied. Mike was punctual and very professional. We called him for an estimate for basement waterproofing, He was the first of 3 contractors that came out. He spent a lot of time with us and was very educated in the basement waterproofing methods. The only reason we did not choose him to do the work, was because we found another company that used a different form of waterproofing. We would definitely use him in the future.

We did our due diligence and got proposals from 2 other companies. One had a lot of reviews and most were good, but their price was a little salty. The other tried to tell me why I should hire them by bad-mouthing his competitors. A real turnoff. The deciding factor was finding Basement Lifeguard?s BBB rating at A+, but even more importantly, they were the only ones to have 0 complaints. None at all. Our house is a bit older and the foundation promised to be tricky. Mike reassured me that there would be no problems and the crew and he got the job done on time. I felt better knowing that it was being handled with the owner onsite. We?ve been getting hammered with rain since then and Hurricane Sandy left us a good bit too. It?s a great test for the system, which passed with flying colors, not allowing even a drop in our basement. Now the process of remodeling can be started with no concerns at all.
Description of Work: We got hit hard by the hurricane last year. Our basement was finished and the rainfall from Irene and Lee ravaged everything. We are going to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade things from before, like nicer trim, carpet, furniture, and some nice built in cabinetry. First thing we did though was get a full perimeter pressure relief system and 2 sump pits with pumps that would be certain to handle the volume of water from the last storm.

The first thing I liked was the comfortable approach Mike had when he introduced himself and listened to our concerns. He explained everything to us and had a proposal right away. There was no pressure and he let us think about the decision and call him with follow up questions. He knew exactly what to predict for the job which went just as he planned. He and his crew showed up right on time and had the job done in good time. The men were very polite and professional. In the end, the basement was cleaner than when they started. They are even coming back in the fall to do the remodeling. All in all, I would absolutely recommend them to any and all!
Description of Work: We wanted to address the on-again off-again water issues in our basement so we could have a den/playroom/storage room finished off. When the water came in, it could be a little puddle (1-2 hr rain) or last year's Irene (over a foot!).
