Brian came over to look at several issues. He gave us good advice on how to set up drainage to avoid too much water being dumped in one place from our only downspout, good advice about our porch that’s separating from the house, and also about a detached garage wall that’s bowing. There was nothing that would make sense to offer us at this time, and he did not try to sell us anything that is not actually necessary. This level of integrity if rare in the business, and we truly appreciate it!

Too expensive for me!! There are several other providers that can eliminate the water in my basement that are much more reasonably priced. Had 4 providers quote on my problem. This company was by far the highest priced solution. I doubt I would ever use them for anything.
Description of Work: Chose not to use them as they were double the cost of 2 other providers and 50% more then a third provider. I don't need a cadilac to drive to the west coast!

Response from ENGINEERED FOUNDATION SOLUTION
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review regarding your experience with Engineered Foundation Solutions. We would like to take a moment to clarify a few things so that other members who might read your review have a better understanding as to the circumstances surrounding your situation. On September 30, 2015 we received a message via our answering service at 8:05am from you stating that someone was needed to check your basement due to water coming in between the floor and the wall. Upon receipt of your call, the message was immediately delivered to our Wheeling office. Please keep in mind that your call was received the day after our Wheeling territory received 5” of rain in one day. Our office returned your call within twenty minutes of your initial call to gather all of the necessary facts regarding your basement. We called you again later that same afternoon to let you know that we were dealing with a large amount of calls and we were working diligently to arrange a technician to visit your home. The very next morning (October 1, 2015) you were again contacted by our office to arrange an appointment date and time. You were subsequently scheduled to meet with one of our waterproofing technicians on October 8, 2015 at 3:00pm. Our waterproofing technician arrived exactly on time, as scheduled at 3:00pm on October 8, 2015, to perform an extensive evaluation of your basement. After his evaluation, he provided a verbal estimate for the cost of our waterproofing services. As a common procedure, our proposals are typically created offsite so that our in-house engineers are able to review the technician’s findings and make any necessary suggestions. After the engineers’ review of our technician’s findings, pictures, videos and what was verbally proposed to you the scope of work was changed slightly. These changes were verbally communicated to you via telephone the very next afternoon (October 9, 2015) and the written proposal was emailed to you that same evening. We understand that our firm is higher priced than others. We offer top of the line products and services and, yes, we are the Cadillac equivalent when it comes to these products and services. If you are interested, I (Owner of Engineered Foundation Solutions) will gladly meet with you to discuss why we are higher priced and the numerous reasons why we are different than other firms. With all of this being said, we are struggling to find the justification behind your ratings as we did everything possible to accommodate your needs. Our products and services certainly differ from others and our pricing reflects that difference.

They are professional, and use quality materials. They are very expensive. I would recommend them to others, if they had the money.

They were very professional and efficient. They provided a guarantee on their work.
Description of Work: They installed carbon strips on my garage foundation to keep it from bowing. The foundation was starting to bow slightly and they installed the carbon strips to keep that from happening further.
