Milwaukee Basement Leak Repair

Excellent experience from the estimating process thru installation. The estimation process was a combination of evaluating the leaking and moisture issues in my basement and a short course on on the science of hydrology, basement construction, history of waterproofing industry, basement water proofing failure modes and solution options, and financial trade offs. During the installation process, the crew foreman understood my need to be included in the process and technical details. This allowed me to confirm the current failure modes that were predicted and verify the process that was sold to me. The installation team exceeded my expectations for quality of work, respect for my home during this major home improvement, and clean up. Each leader I worked with during the process exuded great energy, expertise, pride and joy in their work. You can't fake joy and that is what help Everdry to gain my trust.

We moved into our home in 1999, which at that time, had Everdry Waterproofing Warranty for our basement. Since then we have finished off our basement. In the 18 years of being in our home, we have only had 3 times when we had Everdry come out. Once when we had a tiny pin whole leak in a wall. They came and dug down on the outside of the foundation and treated the problem inside and out. Once they replaced our sumpump. And last time they came and helped us when we had a frozen pipe for our sumpump. No charge except the $25.00 yearly fee. Our basement is dry and comfortable thanks to Everdry.

Successfully waterproofed our basement within three days. Well run operation- prompt, courteous, professional, hard working and well prepared for the job. Interior and exterior excavation was done by hand with care to existing property. Very pleased with the final result & would highly recommend.

Based on the foundation being brick, there was not the option to add weeps. Additionally in the middle of February, I did not want to excavate the exterior. Therefore the waterproofing was done from the inside. Renew added a rigid board covering onto the foundation interior which will direct moisture downwards to the new drain tile system and now the basement is humidity and moisture free. Very pleasant folks to work with too.

The previous owners hired Everdry to waterproof their basement and we pay $25 per year to keep the warranty in effect. We have only needed to call them once to return as a new leak appeared. They were very professional and dug out around the basement and re-sealed the wall and the hole where the gas pipe comes through. They also said the warranty covers replacement of sump pumps something I replaced myself. I will remember this the next time a Sump Pump goes out. Other than that, the basement has remained completely dry 15 years after purchasing the house.

It went well, from estimate to finished job. Workers we knowledgeable and professional and cleaned up after themselves.

I noticed a very small leak in the basement. So I called a few places. One person just told me to regrade the landscaping outside of the offending area. Another gave me a quote to just bust up a small section and replace that part of drain tile for a mere $900. Then came the big guys, the ones who wanted to do all sorts of excavating. A large competitor "ballparked" me at $60,000 (he wouldn't even give me an exact quote). Then comes Everdry. The sales pitch was overwhelming. Yes, both my husband and I had to be there and the guy talked A LOT (roughly 3 hours) and I will admit he was somewhat pushy, hailing the benefits of their work. He drew quite a few diagrams showing us there process of only digging 2-feet down rather than all the way to the footing. They would only dig down to the footings if they found cracks they needed to fix. They were quite expensive, but about half the cost of the major competitor. Even though we were addressing only a small leak, we knew we had other problems since we had an older house. Like any sales pitch, we were given the "you have to act now to get the deal" spiel. He said they were booked for 2 months but would put us on a list if they ended other projects earlier than expected and got an opening. We were called a mere three weeks later. I can't rave enough about the crew though. They were hard-working, courteous, and on-time. They did the job in roughly 3 days. After it was done, I was wondering if we went overkill on such a small leak, but a few months later, our neighborhood had a giant storm in which many basements flooded. Ours did not!! I cannot say for sure it was because of their work, but I am happy that I didn't have to find out. Their lifetime warranty guarantees their work for as long as you pay the yearly service fee. We did have to call them back a few times to fix one corner of the house that was started leaking but they were very responses and acted in a reasonable amount of time. Since they fixed that corner, we haven't had any problems since. We even referred them to our cousin and received the $100 referral bonus. In short, their sales tactics can be pushy, but our work crew was great and we are satisfied with the work that was performed.

Our property is on a high water table and for years our basement flooded every spring. Everdry met with us to explain our options. They completed the work expediently and were very considerate. While it was not inexpensive, it was well worth the money. I'm happy to say that we have not had ANY flooding since the work was done several years ago!

I called for estimate and Everdry came to my house. The salesperson spent over 1 1/2 hours giving me a sales pitch which included destroying drywall on my basement walls, taking pictures, giving an elaborate sales pitch with colored markers and generally being condescending. During the entire sales pitch the salesman refused to go outside and look at the exterior of the house and the grading. Despite the long sales pitch, the mobile printer and colored drawings the quote provided included only a price on a pre-printing brochure. For weeks after the sales pitch I received repeated phone calls from ever-dry asking for another appointment so that the manager could come out because "he had ideas on how to save you money". This company is one step below used car salesmen. Do not let them in your house.

I’m very pleased with the work done. Everything was explaining before and while the work was being done. In addition, Al was communicating with us almost daily to inform us of the work progress. He responded to my text messages quickly. The men left the inside & outside of the house very clean.
