Get matched with top foundation drain installation pros in Wilton, CT

"Our basement has a huge sloping rock in it-the foundation was built around it when the house was built in the 50's. Over the past 5-6 years, water has seeped in more and more at the top of the rock where it meets the ground right next to the foundation and rolled down the rock to the cellar floor, threatening to flow over to the finished side of the basement. First we put a new drainage system outside the house but that did not help. Five years ago we had another basement company come and they told us all we would need is a dehumidifier and that would dry up the water. We bought their big dehumidifier but nope, that did not make a dent in it, it has just gotten worse each year. I called CT Basement Systems late last fall and a very, very nice representative came, looked at the rock and the water flowing down it and was confident their system would take care of the problem. I have a friend that used them for water in her basement and she has raved about them and has never had a drop of water since her system was installed. I paid the deposit and the technicians came exactly when they said they would. They did a great job, were very professional and left the cellar area very clean in spite of all the dust that must have been generated by the jackhammering. I am very happy with the job they did. However, there has been one unexpected problem. Before the drain was put in, I had been buying absorbent socks, flood bags and all kinds of things to soak up the water. Now we just let the water course down the rock into the drain guard, which then funnels it to the sump. We discovered that some of the water drains down to our brick chimney, which abuts the big rock . Instead of continuing it's flow down the rock to the drain, some water is soaking into the gravel around the chimney and then coming out on the other side, where there is no drain guard, making puddles on the floor again. We think the rock needs a thin lip of cement to direct the flow down and away from the chimney area. So, I called the salesman. No call back. I emailed him. No reply. I called and left another message but nothing. I called the company and asked if they would give him a message to call me. No response. So, I can only surmise that they are completely uninterested in this, now that the job is done. I now have a mason coming to do the cement. It is too bad, because I was so impressed with the salesman when he came and also with the installers. I would recommend the product and the installation service beyond a shadow of a doubt. But the lack of customer service after the fact is a huge disappointment. I actually do not mind having our own mason come and do the job. If they had called me back, I would have told them that- I really just wanted to get their opinion on the problem. But they apparently just don't want to be bothered."

"I've got a 112 year old hose that is pretty solid, but it had a cracked floor joist and part of the flooring wasn't properly supported. I hired Kristian and his team to install a couple of lally columns to support a carrying beam and sister a couple of floor joists. Many contractors wouldn't even return my call because I wasn't looking to complete a huge remodel job, but Kristian came over, gave me a fair verbal estimate on the spot, and worked with me on timing to complete the project. Not only that, but the solution wasn't overly complicated. The job was straightforward, completed exactly as described in the time described, and there was no scope creep. If I ever have a larger need, they'll certainly be my first call. I would highly recommend K&X construction if you need any services that they offer."

"Rick did an amazing job fixing the crack in my basement foundation. The company is very professional, knowledgeable and affordable. I highly recommend this company to anyone needing waterproofing in their home."

"Very pleasant and responsive. Good quality work, Took a long time to install but I wasn't in a rush so it worked out."

"Someone called back right away and schedule to come to our home at 10am. They were 4 hours late. Two guys, one seem to be professional and knew what he is doing. They checked 3 bathrooms and drain pipe, and suggested I replace the flappers, seal one of the toilets, and put epoxy around the possible crack in one of the drain pipes. The whole job took less than an hour and cost me 620 dollars. I am new a home owner and don't have much experience, and I did not request a quote in writing, but I was told in the beginning that smoke test will cost 550, if it comes to it. They did not do it. I feel they used my inexperience to gain. Not to mention, that the problem of smell remained unfixed and I did not see any changes in how toilets work."

"I selected Schede Plumbing for my conversion from an oil fired heating boiler to a gas boiler. My selection was based on known referrals in the Stamford, CT area from other well satisfied customers. I could not be more pleased, nor rate give enough praise and thanks to Lou Schede and his expert technicians. This was a major project for me and I was very anxious as to how the how conversion would take place. It would require draining the fuel tank, cutting it into manageable pieces and removing it from my basement. The idea of a gas conversion process was a bit scary to me but Lou Schede walked my through was would be involved, assessed what the heating requirement would be for my house, and selected a gas boiler which fit my needs perfectly. It was only two weeks from the time I first contacted Lou until the time the installation took place. My goodness, three Lou Schede trucks and four highly trained, professional and very polite technicians arrived at my house at 8:20 AM and by 3:00 PM my new gas boiler was installed, tested, and providing heat. Amazingly diligent workers worked very hard and did an beautiful installation. It was like a work of art in motion watching them work. The fuel tank was drained, cut up and removed. the oil fill pipes from outside to inside the basement were removed flush with both the interior and exterior walls and were cemented over. Beautiful, as if the pipes were never there. What also impressed me that whenever I had a question for Lou he was always there, immediately. No complicated voice menuing system. You want Lou, you call Lou, and you get Lou...immediately. This was very satisfying to me and he was a real pleasure to deal with. Absolutely top notch in every respect. The price for the installation was remarkably affordable....more that 6 to 8 thousand dollars less then competing firms. Incredible. He even cleaned the chimney, which was required by the city building code, applied for the permit at his expense. This was a thorough, comprehensive one shop job. Other firms required a separate electrician to hook up the thermostat, a separate firm to drain and remove the oil tank, and a separate firm to clean the chimney. Lou and his staff did it all!. One firm and he and his staff did it all. This is amazing. Lastly, he even accepted credit card for payment upon completion of the installation. I can go on and on. I have nothing but the best things to say about Schede Plumbing And Heating. They have my highest recommendation and are now my go to plumbing and HVAC company. Thanks Lou to you and your technicians for thoroughly well done job and an installation experience that was truly a pleasure."
