I first called General Moisture Solutions. He quoted $3,000 to open up our basement floors and install a drainage system from the back of the foundation, where the leak was occurring to our sump pump. Luckily, I also called Ray. He was able to come over on a lunch break and told me he could fix it for $300. He explained how leaks should be fixed from the inside out and how a drainage system would only redirect the water, but not stop it from coming in. It made sense and the price was right.
Ray squeezed me into his very busy schedule. He found more than one crack and was diligent about making sure it was dry, even though he was running late for his next appointment. He had to open up more of the wall and do some additional work he wasn't planning on and said it would be an additional $200. I had no problem agreeing. Unfortunately, the following Monday, I noticed a small trickle of water. I called Ray and even though he was leaving on vacation in two days and was swamped, he came over that night and made the final repair for no additional charge. BTW, Ray knew how much the other company had quoted me and that I was seriously considering using them. Still, he kept his charge to $500.
Thank you so much, Ray. You're an honorable man - talented and knowledgeable. I highly recommend his services.
They arrived on time and were pretty good with moving our stuff stored in the basement and covering it all with plastic. They took three days to complete the work with one delay of a couple of days. Only complaint was cement being mixed over the grass in the yard rather than over cement floor. Clean up was good considering the mess that was made to dig out the trench.
Proof of the work was we survived the record rain fall in late July with no flooding or wet spots in the basement!!! While our poor neighbors got up to foot of water in their basements.
My one minor complaint was that he kept saying he had much more work than he expected that day and was in a big rush, so I felt very rushed to respond and was worried they might rush the job. But, they seemed to do a good job and we have had torrential rain since then and no leaks! Oh, and very reasonably priced, too. I would hire RM Concrete Specialist again.
"The customer's son noticed water leaking from crack so customer hired us to repair the crack. We repaired the crack & there is no longer water coming through where the repair was done. We came back & ran a water test. We discovered that the drains were clogged & the window wells filled to overflowing & water entered through window. The $300 is the cost for the crack repair & will not be refunded. Ray Markowski-VP"
