Not many companies will still honor their work after 27 years
Description of Work: In 1991, just 27 years agao we had our basement waterproffed by A-1 Indiana Waterproofing, Inc. We have had no problems for many years. A few years ago we called them to com out and look at a leak. They came to inspect and saw that it was a leak through the wall, gave us some suggestions on how to fix it. We made those ahnges and had no problems since. This past week we noticed a leak in another part of the basement so we call them again. They came out proptly, looked at the situation. It was not their work, but a sewer leak. They owner gave us some names of peole who might help with the problem. Although they did not have to fix their own work, which was "guaranteed for life!", they came promptly and were very helpful. Not many companies would honor their work after 27 years. We need more service like this.

A-1 Indiana Waterproofing was professional, courteous and offered a reasonable price for their services. We had water coming into our block wall basement in several places and they resolved all of our issues quickly and cleanly and within the quote they provided us. Their construction personnel were also very professional and went about their business with knowledge of every task and were able to answer all our questions. When the job was done they cleaned up everything and left the job immaculate. We really appreciate having selected A-1 waterproofing to help resolve our basement water problem.
Description of Work: 1. Placed a 3" P.V.C. under the concrete basement floor and beside the footing along with a water weep system directing the water around the foundation to the sump pump pit. 2. Replaced the sump pump and added backup battery. 3. Repaired basement block walls and added carbon fiber wall reinforcement. 4. Cleaned basement walls.

During a heavy rain, our basement flooded, and we needed to get help right away. We found A-1 Indiana Waterproofing Co. on Angie's list, with great reviews, and contacted them. Their representative, Mark, came and thoroughly looked over the situation in our basement, and within an hour gave us his written detailed explanation of the work needed to be done. It was quite extensive, since our house is 58 years old.. In about 2 weeks, Chris and his "crew" came and began the work. Again, Chris explained each detail of the work they would be doing and how long it would take them. We are so pleased to understand each segment of the job. They all worked hard making sure everything was as neat and clean as possible on this big job.. They were punctual at all times, and very considerate in keeping us informed about the times we could expect them . The finished" product" is just super and clean and we know we are safe from any more floods, Now we can enjoy our basement again!! MANY KUDOS TO A-1 INDIANA WATERPROOFING, INC.!!!! Paul and Rita Alsmeyer Brownsburg, IN.

A-1 came with high recommendations to me from a friend and they did not disappoint. They showed up on time and were prepared to do the work. They gave me updates on how the work was progressing and consulted me when there were questions. They were neat and organized and left my house in good shape at the end of each work day. The owner of the company took personal interest with my project to make sure that the job was right and I was satisfied. They finished the job on time and completed everything just as promised. As soon as they finished, we got a bunch of rain and the system work perfectly. Execellent job.

We had a very damp crawl space that had gone untouched for many years and had created sagging floors and unpleasant odors. They came in with the gator system and addressed the damp crawl space and then worked on the sagging floors. They installed the E-Z Breathe system and corrected the odors from the crawl space. The work was done very well and we are exceedingly happy with the way the floors are now. They performed all of the items that they said they would do in the contract and more. We are very pleased with their work and professionalism and will recommend them to others who are having these similar issues.
Description of Work: Wayne Roberts, Chris Carter, & Ron Parseley were wonderful to work with. They listened to what problems we needed fixed on the house and worked to fix them immediately. They checked several times during the procedure to make sure they were addressing the correct area and taking care of the problems that we addressed. They were very professional and made sure everything was completed as we wanted before they finished up for the day. We can not say enough good things about these workers and their company A-1 Indiana Waterproofing. They tackled a tough problem and did it perfectly.

Excellent! My fiance was very concerned with some mold growing in the basement. She is very detailed and had scheduled 4 companies to come out to give us their opinion and what is needed to fix the problem. I am so thankful that the 1st company that came out was A-1 Indiana Waterproofing, Inc. because that is the only company we needed to meet! The owner, Wayne Roberts was extremely well informed, and did a complete evaluation of our basement. Wayne told us that there was no problem with our basement structurally and our sump pump was working just fine. He gave us helpful tips and remedies to cure the mold on our free time. He even went thru a list of different molds and how each one affects us; however the mold that was growing was not a harmful type but needed to be removed. Basically, the mold that was forming was due to poor circulation and a dire need of a dehumidifier. Also, we had a lot of card board boxes in the basement in which the mold was feeding off of and Wayne said to purchase containers to store our miscellaneous items. Wayne recommended a few high quality dehumidifers (not the one you purchase at Lowes) and helped us narrow down the best one to purchase. The problem is fixed and I have a happy fiance . . . which makes a happy Craig Ramsay! Let me tell you, there are so many companies out there that take advantage of peoples worries and charge them a lot of money for something they don't need. A-1 was upfront and honest! I wanted to give Wayne a big hug (I didn't) because when my fiance is on a mission she pulls the trigger and spends money like it's growing on a tree! If we would've had any other company come by for their opinion, the odds were they would've take advantage of our worries and charged us an arm and a leg for something was easy to correct inexpensively. If you ever have a need for water proofing or concerns about your basement, call A-1! They are one of the most honest companies that I've ever met. Thanks again A-1. You definitely have all of my referrals! Craig Ramsay

We have been having water in the basement and called the company. They came out and did an evaluation, it took about 90 minutes. They had 4 people come out to do the work and they estimated about 2 day's. It took 3.5 day's instead which was ok. They were very nice and very accommodating. Doug, Ronnie, Justin, Bobby and Jimmy were all very nice and did a wonderful job!!!!

Great. No more water coming into our basemen
Description of Work: A-1 installed new exterior drainage lines for 3 pump lines coming out of our basement wall. They excavated under our driveway, placed new pipes underground and connected them to a water drainage. When I called them on a Friday they scheduled to meet with us the following day. Dell, came and explained what needed to be done. He gave us the estimate the same weekend and a week later they started the job. Also, Wayn, the owner of the company, met with me and review their plan, how it was going to be done and how long it would take and everything happened how he told me it would be. I would totally use their service again. Very satisfied. We interviewed 3 companies and we felt A-1 was the most professional plus they had great reviews.

We started the relationship with A1 a few years ago when obtaining quotes to repair a crumbling basement/cellar wall. They were patient and explained everything in detail, provided quotes and followed up. The decision to delay the work was made at that time. After realizing the problem wasn't going away and it wasn't going to fix itself (something the owner told me then), the decision was made to have them begin work. Within a few days of contacting them, they began the process of reviewing the problem again and suggesting a solution. Building a new wall and installing a system to help drain water away from the house was the solution. Within a week, work was started and completed. Everything looks great! I'm pleased with the outcome and have a new level of comfort knowing the home has been saved from further damage.
Description of Work: A1 Waterproofing repaired a foundational problem with a very old house. They build a new block wall, installed a water drainage system outside to direct water away from the house and placed some new rough casting on the existing foundation.

They wanted to do a bigger job that needed to be done. They wanted to charge a couple of thousand dollars and I had it done by an individual for seventy five dollars. I feel it was to small of a job and they really didn't want to be bothered with it.

We were visited by Wayne, the president of the company, He explained the problem we were having and even knew the company that installed our existing system years ago, (which was a lifetime warranty. Company no longer in business) so buyer beware. They were on time, workers were extremely personable and informative, performed exactly what they proclaimed that they would do and even came back to repair a couple minor issues associated with our old system. The thing that sold me on the integrity of this company was the washer drain system. I was concerned about discharging the water from the washer into the Septic and preferred to have it discharge to the front ditch. (which we have done for years) They explained to me that this did not meet code. They installed per code. Another contractor probably would have done as I requested but they did not. EXTREME PROFESSIONALISM ON THEIR PART! All in all. Great Job! We are extremely pleased. PS. Four or Five years ago we hired a company to do some work down at my Mom and Dad's house in Columbus Indiana. My mom kept telling me to call the people that did theirs because they were so happy with them. GUESS WHAT. It was the same company!
Description of Work: Installation of a new Gator System around the perimeter of our basement and the installation of a new sump pump and pit. Also installed a new drain system for our washing machine that was discharging out to our front ditch and installed per code to discharge into the sewer/septic system.

The positives: This company installed a ventilation system in our basement crawl space. So far it seems to be working well. They arrived when promised and appear to have done a good job. They were very professional and courteous while at our house. After the job was complete, they were punctual and professional in responding to an issue that needed to be resolved. The negatives: (1) After the inital visit, they were quite slow to respond to our request to discuss scheduling the work. (2) We thought their overall pricing was a bit high (although they gave us a slight price break after we mentioned that we had compared their costs with a few other vendors). (3) We were not specifically told that the cost for installing an electrical outlet in the crawl space was not part of their quote. We had the work done ourselves and after a few follow-up calls with the company they reimbursed us for that cost. I would suggest you ask a lot of questions once you receive your quote to ensure everthing is included.

They were excellent. I will be using them again for my sump pump maintenance. The owner himself came out to fully examine our basement. I was very impressed by their professionalism and communication. I appreciated their willingness provide discounts for me as their customer. They were timely and kept us up-to-date on the work. They demonstrated a particular expertise in working around our existing radon mitigation system.They also gave me a lifetime guarantee, which is transferrable upon sale of the house. I would like to personally thank Wayne and Bill for their courtesy and excellent service. The price was reasonable considering we have a 3500 sq ft house and this was just 1/3 the price of our previous waterproofing system that failed on us. I have total confidence in this product.
Description of Work: We discovered water in our basement. We received an estimate at their first visit. He made several recommendations based on our budget. This was an urgent need, and were able to schedule service quickly. They gave us information so we were fully prepared for their arrival. After the work was completed, they put my belongings back in the basement as they were prior to the work.

Mark Ruetsch was the A-1 Indiana Waterproofing inspector who recommended the required drainage system and quoted the job. Work was completed in less than 8 hrs. and done by a professional crew led by Ed (last name unknown). The crew was careful to clean as they worked and coordinated the tasks with real teamwork. Ed recommended the type of sump pump that I should buy in the future to better use the sump pit space for both the primary and backup sump pumps. We are anxious to see the efficiency of the new drainage system during the next major rain event.
Description of Work: Installed submersible PVC pressure relief drainage system 43 Lineal Ft inside basement perimeter, drilled block at footer level to relieve water standing in cavities of block wall. Installed cove plate to catch any future water from weep holes to system. Dug out existing sump pit and installed new using existing pump and discharge.

They were great. We have a house that is an investment property but is a large 4 bedroom house. There was a waterproofing system in the basement when we bought it and we didnt' really know anything about it. We had some areas of moisture/mold on the walls and thought the system was failing. When the young man came out he explained that they are a family owned business and he walked through the basement and around the outside of the house. He gave me 2 suggestions for making sure that water was better diverted from the basement and said that we would likely be fine if we followed those suggestions. We did.....and it has worked! No new moisture and we recently repainted the basement. He easily could've told me that we need to do X-Y-and-Z to fix the existing waterproofing system but he made a point in saying that they value their reputation and that they aren't in business to take advantage of customers. What a great company!
