"Good work in general; our basement no longer sees water for over 3 years now, which is the most important thing. But there were some real issues: The biggest issue is that USW did not adhere to local electrical codes, and did not arrange for a final inspection of the project. So we didn't find out that it wasn't to code until years later, and now it's a big hassle and minor cost to fix and get the permits. Ask your local gov yourself what you need to do for permits and inspections; don't rely on USW! USW said they would seal any foundation cracks found along the way; they didn't do this until I bugged the warranty dept about it (but they did do it eventually). USW sent someone out for the "annual checkup"... over 2 years after the install. It's a good thing they (eventually) did, because they discovered the backup battery wasn't charging. Now I know to check this stuff better myself. Prices also vary wildly and are kind of negotiable (I'd give more detail but I'm out of space)"

"I was very impressed with Sentri Homes - their customer service was excellent. They sent a subcontractor to install some vinyl laminate in my bathroom and he ended up getting glue all over the carpet in our bedroom. The sub ended up ghosting both me and Sentri, leaving me stuck with a ruined carpet. Sentri stuck with me for over a month to get the carpet replaced with the identical original and to get the vinyl job 100% completed. The carpet was a Home Depot exclusive and Sentri handled everything with them. I will be using Sentri for a much bigger renovation I have coming up soon, because I know that they will make sure everything gets done right no matter what problems come up. The vinyl looks great too."

"Seepage Issue Prior To Work Done
We had a minor seepage issue in 3-4 areas of our basement.  Minor meaning small puddles of water develop if and only if we get heavy and long rain storms.  The house was built in 1929 and did not have a sump pump or pit.  
Down the road, we plan to finish the basement, eventually my wife and I agreed to commit to fixing the seepage issue and this is where the story starts.  
( Short story: Brian, his crew, and overall integrity is excellent, I highly recommend Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.  They will sell you what you need and they will make sure you are happy.)    Long Story (I recommend reading):
In the beginning......Getting Quotes
I consider myself to be above average DIY person however fixing seepage is not in my skill set.  I had no idea how much money would be required to fix our seepage issue. My expectation was $3000-$4000.
First we had US Waterproofing out.  They sent a salesman which for me is an immediate turn off.  The salesman was okay but not impressive....to be honest more then a little rough.  In the end, he gave us a quote that was $8000.00.  This was surprisingly and uncomfortably large sum of money plus in my opinion, the proposed seepage solution was in my opinion a solution for a severe seepage problem.  My opinion, up selling; selling me too much. Side note, they did offer financing options that were good.  
 (total time at least 1.5 hours)  
With the US Waterproofing quote in hand, for the next 1-2 week my wife and I continued to discuss the situation.  I was really bummed about the 8k.  Eventually, I got my head together and thankfully did not commit to US Waterproofing.  Instead we put their quote aside and called Perma-Seal.
Perma-Seal came out.  Another salesman another immediate turn off.  However, the salesman was great.  He gave a very impressive presentation that covered the company, recommended products to solve our seepage issue, and what the process would be to solve our seepage issue.  In the end, he first proposed a solution that was super over the top, I believe it was $10,000.00.  After reminding him money is tight and I want a solution for the specific areas of the basement, his second proposed solution was $7900.00.  Not good.  Too much money and my gut feeling continued, up selling; selling to much.  Side note, they did offer financing options that were good however it was simply to much money to commit to.  (total time at least 1.5 hours)
With US Waterproofing quote and Perma-Seal quote in hand and little depression (on my part), my wife and I took another 1-2 weeks to talk.  I almost committed to a quote but thankfully I did not.  Eventually I got me head together again.  I joined Angie's List.  Reviewed the basement seepage businesses in the area by rank and found Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions ranked #2.  This was a bit exciting.  I read a few reviews and got even more excited, there was 1 or 2 reviews that seemed to reflect my situation; everyone wants to sell me cashmere when I am confident I only need cotton. 
So I called Crawlspace/Basement Waterproofing Solutions.   Brian the owner and crew chief (immediately impressed) came over to inspect and propose a solution/quote. He gave us a quote for exactly what we needed and it was quick and easy.   Side note, I did tell him I had the other two quotes but I did not show or tell him the numbers and did not tell him our money is tight.  His quote $2800.00.  WOW!  (total time: 40 min)
My wife and I were so happy however I was a bit worried, two businesses quote me $8000 and this guy wants $2800?!?!.  To be clear, the $2800 was for installing a sump pump it, sump pump, the drainage system from pit to outside, drainboards on the walls, trench and install drain tile inside basement, concrete the drain tile inside basement, and cementing my ugly/nasty crawlspace.  His work comes with a warranty for the life of the home and is transferable to the next owner. 
After committing to Brian, 4 days later he arrived with his crew as scheduled.  The crew completed the project in 1.5 days as planned.  During the 1.5 days I closely monitored the crew's work and chatted with them.  Additional, I had a few long chats with Brian.  The entire team is excellent.  Happy, polite, personable, and hard working.  I was very impressed with the team.  When the work was completed, Brian called be twice to ensure we where happy with the work.  There was a very minor cosmetic issue that I mentioned.  Brian immediately setup a guy to come out in 1-2 business days.......the minor issue was fixed (no charge).
Since the completion, we have had 3 long extra heavy rain storms.  No water in basement!  YES!  Wife and I are very happy.
Additional Notes About Brian and His Guys:
Extra work was done and we were not charged.
Brian is personable, 100% kept all promises, sold us what we needed, fun, and maintains a hard working and happy team.
Call Brian!  Do it!

"Elliot called me in reply to my online inquiry. He (patiently and professionally) answered my many coverage and price questions, then gave me time to 'digest' it all and called me back (as promised) at 4PM...to answer more questions. Elliot also worked with me to secure the maximum amount of discount savings. Time will tell if the warranty coverage/work is what it's cracked up to be, but Elliot Chahino is an excellent salesperson. Reach out to him directly if you want the same level of service attention.

Brady is the best you'll ever find for home remodeling projects.
Showed up on time. Took the time to make ever job right.
Projects were worked on over a number of months, one at a time.


The best and most honest tradesmen I've ever found.
We moved to Texas in January of 2014.  We whish Brady could have come with us.
I've found some good (and bad) people to work on the Texas home.  But no one who comes close to the quality of work done by Brady Brower.

House Leveling questions, answered by experts

Mudjacking can be an expensive foundation repair process, but in many cases, it’s well worth the investment. This is especially true if you’re lifting a portion of sunken foundation slab back into place. In that case, mudjacking can help avoid major structural damage and even home collapse by restoring the integrity of your structure with minimally invasive procedures. Mudjacking a concrete patio, walkway, or sidewalk can be worthwhile because it removes tripping hazards and makes your outdoor area more aesthetically appealing.

The average cost for mudjacking is around $1,200, though prices can range from $300 to $3,400. On a per-square-foot basis, you can expect to pay between $3 and $8, with an average of about $5 per square foot. The final cost depends on several factors, including the square footage of the concrete, the type of slab, its accessibility, whether it is load-bearing, and the type of material used to lift it. Generally, lifting a driveway, small patio, or sidewalk is less expensive than lifting a slab foundation or garage floor.

A good slump height really depends on the project, but there is a use for nearly all slump levels. For example, low slumps are best in projects that require structure, such as curbs and roads. High slumps often require additional reinforcement, but they flow more freely into hard-to-reach spaces.

On average, a mudjacking repair lasts between five and 10 years, though it can sometimes last for well beyond a decade under ideal conditions. Its longevity depends heavily on several factors, including the condition of the underlying soil, environmental conditions like freeze/thaw cycles and erosion, and whether the root cause of the sinking, such as drainage issues, is resolved. Because it doesn't always fix the underlying problem of loose soil, mudjacking is often considered a temporary solution. Proper maintenance and evaluation can help extend its lifespan.

The timeframe is generally a few hours, allowing for immediate use post-hydration, ensuring minimal disruption to surrounding activities.
