Excellent. Hard working crew that did an excellent job. Crawl space clean, odor free, less moisture in home.
By having this done we later discovered we had a plumbing and ac leak in the crawl space. With the recent rains in Dec/2014 we were so happy to have a sump pump to handle the heavy rains and know our crawl space was not flooded.
They just left and couldn't wait to get underneath and look. I am very pleased with the workmanship. If you look at the photos (hey angie can I post photos?), they fastened this 20mil reinforced plastic sheeting to the sides of the foundation using rivets. Not a bit of dirt or debris to be seen. The crew was very professional. Very polite, lots of drop clothes to protect the floors. Their workmanship was very good. If they were my crew, I would be very pleased.
Just a word of caution - not a deal breaker but...the first day required a lot of dirt work. Invariably the house became dusty. I would have put painters tarp over couches and other soft surfaces. Second, don't be surprised to have some smell of epoxy - the material they use to glue the sheets together. It goes away in a day. It's part of the install which makes me happy they use it. So far I'm very happy with the job.
The crawlspace itself is only high enough for an army crawl, so I can only imagine the difficult of doing all this work in such a confined space. Overall I'm quite pleased with the finished result.
Later, I had a similar visit from a competing company and found their rep to be somewhat pushy -- he started outlining the solution before actually inspecting the crawlspace and surroundings of our home. We had a busy Spring and Summer, so I did not have a chance to get this job done. In August, I contacted Adam again to check on some technical questions and to confirm that he would still honor the original quote. He came around to the house again to take a look at the site and confirmed that he could do it for the original price. I had been concerned about whether they could dig the entire perimeter, since we are on very rocky ground. The second company had backed off when they saw the rocks and ended up quoting very tentatively for just a small part of the work that I wanted done.
So, we decided to go ahead. Adam was fully booked for the next 3 months, so the earliest we could start was Thanksgiving week. Finally, the date came around -- Alex was our crew captain. They arrived on time on the first day and got to work. They managed to complete all of the work within two days, despite running into some boulders and other obstacles, and were cheerful and professional all the way through.
We won't know how successful this drainage solution is until we get a heavy downpour, but fingers crossed that the problem is solved. I'll upload an update once we know how effective the work has been.
Definitely a good experience, so far, though. If this Winter goes well, we may consider doing the crawlspace lining and encapsulation with this company next Summer.
The company jiggled there schedule to fit us in very quickly and work began. They drove from Novato every day.
The guys that came out were professional, polite and worked very hard. Crawling around in 2 foot of space, digging sump pumps and laying down huge areas of membrane in the dark and filth takes a certain kind of worker.
Billing was clear, the contract was concise and followed the rules associated with general contractors.
Felicia in the office was very helpful.
our 2000 ft crawl space is clean, brighter and smells a lot better. Lets hope that pump does its thing when the wet weather finally arrives!
thank you we totally recommend this company.
