The Foundation Expert

Description of Work: Sealed and braced a large crack in basement foundation wall. Everything went smoothly. The number one thing that I took away from this experience is that I did not feel cheated in any way. The work performed was excellent and an additional smaller drywall job was added without further cost. Very satisfied with this company and would definitely use again. This company also does home inspections.

Description of Work: Unfortunately, I purchased this service while I was out of the country serving in Iraq and my spouse did not schedule the actual work so it was never done. Not the company's fault. I was looking forward to getting their expertise.

Description of Work: provided written estimate of needed services to resolve drainage issues

Description of Work: Sam gave us an estimate for refinishing out basement. He and his carpenter were very professional and thorough. He offered a very competitive price and seemed very knowledgeable about his work. We ended up going with someone else but it was a very difficult decision. I would certainly recommend him to a family member or friend.

Description of Work: Samuel Weisgal, Chief Inspector, performed a thorough inspection of my home's foundation. He was professional, punctual and polite. I highly recommend him to you.

Description of Work: I called for help to check out the wavy floor of a house i wanted to purchase. While i didn't end up proceeding with the purchase, these guys were extremely helpful on the phone explaining what they can look at and how the survey is completed, as well as what the results may indicate. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them in for similar work in future

Description of Work: They prompty contacted us about our big deal as soon as we purchased. They are highly communicative. We never called them back due to travel and a lack of need.

Description of Work: No work was performed. This was an inspection only

Description of Work: I called three times and left messages with the answering service. They never called me back.

Description of Work: I received an estimate for what work was needed.

Description of Work: He provided an estimate in my crawl space for information purposes. He was very knowledgeable and informative. I have retained the estimate and when I have the money, I will call him. I wasn't having a specific problem so it wasn't urgent. I would recommend him highly just based on his professionalism.

Description of Work: It was coupon from Angie's list. They were prompt to set up an appointment but they were suppose to deliver a report which i never received yet they kept calling me to ask me about a follow up. I kept reminding her that I have not received the report. I finally received the report but it was mostly observation. No recommendations. It was useless. The owner Sam did contact me to offer me a return of the $99 dollars and an offer to come out. I returned his call but he was out of town. Tried twice but they have not responded to my phone or my email. I am through with them. I do not recommend them at all.

Description of Work: I NEVER RECEIVED MY SERVICES! We were scheduled to have to the inspection done on three separate occassions and two of which the company had to cancel and reschedule. I have no doubt that this is a good company but I like to get what I paid for.

Description of Work: WE had our unfinished basement inspected after we witnessed some flooding. They quickly identified the source and gave us a way to fix it. We were advised on preventative measures. The verbal report was great. We also received a written report with estimates. We were very happy with their service.

Description of Work: Our Basement was an absolute disaster! Over the years (the house is 40 years old) clay backfill under the carport and against a basement wall had pushed that wall off it's footer. It had been repaired 30 years ago with bracing and French drains, but the problem had returned and had gotten much worse. Every time it rained, we had water. Not seepage mind you, but a regular gusher that should have had it's own name! We called six companies to have a look, many of which never called us back. Two did and the one we went with, The Foundation Experts, were the only ones who said: "We have no idea what the problem is until we look at what's behind that basement wall." Sam Weisgal was very open with us about just how serious the problem was. He suggested they come do some test digging in the basement with no obligation to us and at minimal cost. We agreed. The integrity of the house was being compromised and the repair could not wait much longer. After discussing options with Sam and Dan, the job supervisor, we decided to go ahead. Over the Holidays and into the New Year the work was done. The car port and house were braced and the concrete torn out. The car port had a large open air space under it as the ground had subsided over the years. The length of the basement wall (30 feet) was dug out, by hand mind you, to a depth of 8 feet, and the clay hauled off. The old block wall was removed, The original footer was examined and found to be in good shape. A new wall was built in it's place that was braced through the center of the wall. An external drain system was installed that connected to the existing sump pump and French drains repaired. The block wall was coated in rubber and sealed. Many tons of gravel were brought in to fill the gapping trench. Luckily, due to the mild winter we were able to have the carport re-poured after a waiting period. The house bracing was removed and the work areas cleaned. We could not be more happy with the result or with the service received form The Foundation Experts. They were just stellar!

Description of Work: I called them to redeem a Big Deal coupon.

Description of Work: Had hoped to start by getting an estimate, however, I left a message and have yet to get a return phone call :o(
