"Our basement needed assurance that the existing sump pump could handle rising water levels under our home. It was recommended that we install a second sump pump alongside the existing one, with piping exiting water discharge to the outside. The Installer (Mr. Bernard W.) took care of everything in a very professional manner. His work was superb, especially clean and cosmetic in every respect. Thank you for your superior services!"

"He built a custom home for me, and he did a great job. There was a lot of extensive work that went into the home and he was able to complete all of it and got everything I wanted incorporated. Highly recommend James!"

"I bought a house in 2021 that had significant water damage leaking through the walls onto the concrete floor in the basement. After researching multiple companies around the area, I reached out to Basement Gurus. Ashley, Boni, Josh, and owner of the company Dan Kelly, all went above and beyond to make sure that there would be no more water damage. They installed a French drain, vapor barriers, and more. The owner Dan Kelly personally came out to make sure that the work got done correctly. This company is the best around, you won't be disappointed."

"I was having some issues with water coming into the basement through the foundation and walls during rainy weather. Not flooding, or even shop vac-able volumes, just enough to be annoying and require mopping. Dominic and his crew were here today to install an under-floor drainage system and a new sump pump. I was dreading the demo (I have a concrete floor) and the mess involved, but these guys came prepared for everything! They used dust abatement measures to protect all my basement-stored items, and they removed and hauled all the debris away when finished with the excavation. What really impressed me was the concrete restoration upon completion. I've previously had a sewer line replaced through the basement floor, and the contractor really "botched" the floor repair. I can't describe how different this experience was! The concrete installed today is immaculate! Dominic takes pride in his work and with good reason! The new concrete is perfect! I am thrilled!"

"Two man crew come out and leveled three sections of my sidewalk in about two hours. Everything looks great. You can't tell any work was done."

"Was on time , work on my foundation was very well done. I would have no problem recommending JR construction."

"The crew did a great job. It was not an easy job (150+ year old house)."

"The contracted the work off to a third party. Jon took longer than expected. The windows was installed pretty good from the looks. Communication could have been better with knowing the job will take longer and what types of trims I wanted for the windows. As the contractor that was hired for this job by this company. Did a good job with putting up decent trim. As for the new windows they look great. I purchased the myself and hired sentri homes to install them. I will need to have a my siding on my house redone to be closer to the new windows so the gaps are not so obvious. That was not expected at first. But from old storm windows and not knowing how they were put in originally. There was some unknown things that was learned from the job being completed. I will have the siding of the house slightly done to match really good for what I wanted later on. My only concern is better communication with sentri homes. Overall they were great when I did talk to them."

"In 2007, I purchased my present home. Unbeknownst to me, the current owners lied on the disclosure form. They stated there were no water problems in the basement. On my first home inspection, I noticed the back basement walls (cinder block) appeared freshly painted.
I did have a home inspection. The report found there was some evidence of water penetration and the inspector recommended I speak to the current owners. The owners again reiterated the basement had no water problems.
About 6 months after moving in I noticed dark spots ?coming through? the painted cinder block walls. Also, the walls were very damp. At first, I ignored the spots. However, 2 months later my basement walls were wet and covered with large black spots. I called my plumber. When he inspected the walls he informed me it was mold and the water was penetrating from the outside. 
To be brief, my home is a condo. I informed the condo management company. Over a period of almost 3 years, I have to ?battle? them to correctly fix the water problem. The association had a landscaper make two attempts to correct the water problems both attempts failed. Within a few months the black mold quickly returned.
Finally, they were going to hire an engineer to inspect and make the necessary recommendation. However, they informed me that decided not to hire an engineer and refused to correctly address the water problems. In an email, they cited the fact they worked with the previous owner to correct the water problem in the basement. 
After all attempts to have the condo correct the problem, I retained an attorney.  An engineer was hired and he completed a comprehensive report. In order to obtain the cost of properly correcting the water problems, I obtained 3 estimates. The repairs were complicated because it involved a plumber, a heating contractor and a waterproofing company.   I explained to each company I needed an accurate, precise and comprehensive plan and cost to make my basement whole again.  I decided to use Rightway Water Company?s estimate. This estimate was submitted to my attorney and subsequently to the court.
After a year of litigation, I won the case against the previous owner, the condo, and the home inspection company. 
I contacted Rightway Water Company, the plumber, and the heating contractor to complete the work.  The work began October 2011. The work was completed within a week. They "painted" the walls but make no attempt to remove the vast efflorescence crystals on the walls.
About 3-4 months later, I again noticed black mold forming on the walls. I quickly contacted Rightway about this new problem. I was told I needed a dehumidifier, 60-70 pint capacity. I was never told nor was it written on the estimate that I needed a dehumidifier. I further inquired if they could ?correct? the look of the walls. They told me it would cost an additional $2500.00 to put up a covering over the walls. The covering/panels would direct any water down into the drain and make the basement walls look bright and new.  I was very upset to say the least because the company owner did not include this information in his estimate. This additional cost would have been included in the settlement.  
I did purchase a 60 pt dehumidifier from Costco for several hundred dollars. After 5 months of operation, I noticed the mold abatted and  the walls seemed ?dry?. . However the walls are completely stained and covered with efflorescence crystals. 
Early this Fall I made another call to Rightway to see if they would ?correct? the walls. I was told there is a minimal fee I would be charged to come out to ?panel? the walls. I would do better to contact a construction contractor. They explained that their Lifetime Guarantee on all Waterproofing only applies if water collects on the basement floor. I wa rushed off the phone. My walls look terrible. 
I contacted another waterproofing company on Angie?s List located in Pennsylvania. They promptly came out. It was the agent?s opinion that Rightway did a ?good? job but his company would have completed the job differently using more up-to date materials. Their estimate was about $2400.00 to remove the efflorescence and panel the walls.
I have submitted this report because Rightway should have completed a comprehensive correction of my basement that included a dehumidifier and ?paneling? the walls. Now, I will have to pay for the corrective paneling. Righway will not take responsibility for their mistakes.  It appears they did the "work" got paid, now Good Bye"
