They made a horrible mess in my basement and did a very poor job of cleaning it up. When I complained about a bulge in the wall from leakage, they said it was my fault. I would not use them again nor would I recommend them to my friends. I do not remember the actual cost, but it was expensive. I would not give them anything but maybe a D+.
Description of Work: seepage since but I did have to replace the sump several times. They replaced the first one.

They are just fantastic! He couldn’t have been nicer to me. They did the work when it was turning really cold and I could not get anyone to come out to work on it. They worked me in the same week I called and got the roof put on before the snow came.

Their process really worked. I have not had any water in the basement in 9 years. I had the most wonderful experience with them. The vice president came out and over saw the entire project. They were actually not happy with the outcome so they made them re-do parts of the work.

I am a Real Estate Professional and contacted this company to get a quote on Foundation Repair. The person who answered the phone I found to be extremely Rude and Unprofessional. There was "No" discussing what was needed. She appeared to be reading a script and when I explained that was not how the process would work in this transaction, she was very condescending and be assured I would not recommend anyone in my profession using this company.
Description of Work: They did nothing and I won't recommend them to do anything. This form does not allow just to comment off of a phone conversation. I did not actually meet anywhere with this company. Thank you.

Response from A-1 Indiana Waterproofing Inc
Unfortunately, we must schedule an appointment with the home owner, not a real estate agent. This is upsetting to many agents. I do not believe we should have a bad review, because we were unable to schedule an appointment. Simply have the homeowner contact us to schedule the appointment and the problem is solved. We are happy to help both residential and commercial property owners resolve their waterproofing and foundation issues.

Called A-1 to set up an estimate with Wayne Roberts and was given a 3:30 PM appointment on Thursday, June 5th. I explained to the receptionist that Mr. Roberts would need to walk around to the REAR door in the back of the house to meet me since my tenant lives in the front and if anyone knocks on the front door I would not be able to hear it or know that someone had arrived. My tenant was not even home at the time of this appointment so I wouldn't know if Mr. Roberts (or, anyone else for that matter) attempted knocking on the front door. I do know that no note was left on my tenant's door and I received no calls from Mr. Roberts. This is why I clearly stated to the receptionist to have him go to the rear door. I waited up until 5:00 PM thinking that Mr. Roberts might have been running late and it was now approaching 5:00 PM as I tried calling the office and there was no answer. Where was Mr. Roberts and why didn't he call to let me know where he was or that he couldn't make it? This turned out to be a complete no show as I never received a call of apology later in the evening (or, even the next day) to reschedule the appointment. Extra note: I simply do not believe as to what Mr. Roberts is saying in his reply to be true since no one called me back (not Mr. Roberts, or, the receptionist) and I could not reach anyone on the phone after being home all that afternoon. I definitely did not receive or hear a knock at my door (if he did walk around to the rear door in back as instructed) since I was home the entire time. Also, have already had the basement work completed by another company who was willing to meet with me in person for the estimate and has responded to all phone calls and emails. Mr. Roberts, you dropped the ball with a potential customer.
Description of Work: No show by owner on day of appointment.

Mr. Roberts arrived for his appointment with [member name removed] at 3:05 PM on June 5th, he knocked on both doors, the front door with the wheelchair ramp and the rear white door, when no answer was received he waited at the residence until 3:35, prior to leaving. On June 6th there were 4 messages that were received via voice mail after 5PM on June 5th each one being more aggressive and vulgar than the last, with the final message not to return to his home or contact him or he would contact his lawyer, however; Mr. Roberts did call and leave him a voice message stating he had been there and described the contents of the back yard including a trench that was near the rear door, apologized that he had missed us and we would gladly reschedule, but we never hear from [member name removed] again until this posting today. We strive to provide excellent service, and are happy to help this gentleman in resolving his waterproofing issues. Thank You, A-1 Indiana Waterproofing.

Wayne came out and one thing I liked is he didn't try to sell me a whole basement package. He informed me of what he was going to do and I accepted his estimate right away as it was reasonable. He gave me a five year guarantee on his work. They cleaned up nicely after the job.
Description of Work: I had four areas that were leaking in my basement, and one of them was quite severe.

I am a home owner who prefers to get at least three estimates before having work completed. A-1 was our second estimate. The first company told us we would need to dig up the concrete around the perimeter of our basement, install drain pipes under the footers, and have concrete poured back in. They had a lovely set of materials printed to show me exactly what they would be doing. It was convincing. The estimate was around $7,000. Wayne, from A-1 came out today and told me we had already taken care of half of our problem, just by installing a working air conditioning system and dehumidifier. He then shared his expert opinion as to how we could remedy the rest with caulk and hydraulic concrete. I'm going to try his suggestion. If it does not work, I'm likely to hire his company for the fix, due to his honesty. We were ready to spend $7k, now we might get the problem fixed for under $100. I'm thrilled!

Provider gave an estimate twice as high as other companies providing the same service. I emailed the company w/my complaint and did not hear back from the company.
Description of Work: Would not recommend this co. they lack professionalism, Wayne Roberts is not professional, he asked if I was married (what does that have to do w/waterproofing) I found that creepy, alone in my basement w/a strange man twice my size. The estimate was twice the amount of other waterproofing companies in the area, perhaps that has to do w/being married or not. Estimate was not broken down in any type of detail as what pump was going to be used etc. He was late for appt. I can understand being late, but call and state the fact.

I contacted them at the recommendation of another Angie's List service provider. He spent a lot of time and was very thorough. However, despite me providing him with my email address on 2 occasions, I never received an estimate or any written results of his findings. I am reluctant to use him for any work.

[Member name removed], Thank you for your review. In checking our records, I do not show any estimate scheduled for you on the 13th of January, 2014.

He also recommended someone, a subcontractor to come out and actually build me a crawl space door or hatch and he has done that. He has done a very good job. That wasn't even part of his company. He had nothing to gain from that. The gentleman that owns A-1 I thought was very good, very professional. Very friendly. I was very pleased with him. But it was only a quote. It wasn't service provided.

Workers showed up as scheduled on 9/30/2013 and started on the wall that needed replaced. In the process of tearing out the wall they found out that there wasn't a footing under that wall. Our project supervisor Ed suggested that we have a footing put in so the new wall would have proper support? The other wall did not have a footer under it either, so they dug down and put a steel beam under it and installed two low profile piers under it. This was done so we didn't have to replace that wall. It also stabilized and kept it from sagging any further. Next they installed the drainage system in the basement floor,connected it to the sump pit. They also ran the sump pump drainage line out the basement wall out into the yard. After the project was done they cleaned up inside and out beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend A-1 Waterproofing to anyone who need this type of work done.
Description of Work: Replaced one basement wall and put in a new footer. Installed two low profile piers under the second wall and put steel beam under that wall to support it. Installed drainage system in basement floor. Put in new sump pit and lid. Ran drainage line through wall and out into the yard.

From contacting for a free estimate, inspections, follow up, and actual work done to completion, everyone involved at A1 was wonderful. I was always informed of procedures, start and complete dates, how the work would be done. I was encouraged to contact them with any questions at any time. The assistance provided for financing was also easy and affordable. The workers showed up on time each day and worked the full day. At each step in the procedure and was shown the work completed and informed of the next step. They were also very kind and professional. I would recommend A1 Waterproofing highly

We needed someone to clean out the crawl space in our home where the builders had left some bricks, plumbing, and wood products. We also needed to have a sump pump installed, drainage put in, and joists replaced. A-1 Waterproofing was extremely responsive, helpful, and professional. They were willing to work with us on a solution instead of just offering a one-size solution that was more than we needed like the other providers we talked to about the problem. We would highly recommend A-1 Waterproofing for any drainage/crawl space needs.
