UPDATE 7-12-15: This is response to his reply which is complete fabrication. There was never anything wrong with either the sump pump or the ejector pump. He unplugged the sump pump and failed to plug it back in without informing me, and this was the cause of the flood. The water he speaks of from the ejector pump was very minor and on the unfinished side only. It was the result of the ball valve not being installed. His action caused 2 " of water in the entire basement that caused $7000 worth of damage. Neither pump has burned out..They are both operating today. He did admit this to me on the phone and said he would come out to look at the damage, but did not show and does not respond to phone calls or texts."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/in/merrillville/shawn%27s-home-improvement-reviews-7574033.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Sylvio Giannini Cement Works Inc","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IN","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Kenneth S."},"reviewBody":"
Tom the owner is class act. I really felt comfortable with this guy because he explains everything very well. My first experience with them went well that I called them again. My basement was leaking pretty bad, probably had $15,000 worth of damage.
Tom came out on a Sunday, we walked around the house and he explained to me why my concrete walls were cracking, showed me gutter problems, my grade was too low and water drained towards house, basement well drains were plugged, basement wells were too short.
Tom and his team dug around house with a bobcat type skidster, they patched cement walls, put tar on, installed vapor barrier sheets on walls, cleaned down to tile, added drain cloth and rock, installed a tube to surface so a Plummer can scope my tiles, removed short window wells and installed taller wells. He raised the grade of the ground on both sides of the house about 6 inches so the water will drain away from the house. The job took a couple days, they cleaned up nicely, Tom made recommendation and did some extra work for a minimal extra amount of money to do the job right. Tom told me if I ever had any more leaks call him but he thinks this should do the job.
UPDATE: Quite a bit of snow melted, usually water is gushing in the basement, this time my basement was dry as a fresh diaper! :) Nice work Tom

Since he did not have the supplies and time to complete on Saturday, he made arrangements to come the next day - Sunday to complete the job. I was extremely pleased with these arrangements especially knowing that hundreds of people in the area were affected by the severe weather and in my same situation. The repair was done and when complete, Jim made sure everything was cleaned up.

FAQs for basement leak repair projects in Michigan City, IN
The cost to finish a basement is $18,400 for the average homeowner. However, this cost could be as little as $2,800 or as much as $34,500, depending on the basement size and the materials needed. If your basement is already outfitted with electrical and plumbing, expect the cost to fall on the lower end.
For example, the drywall cost for this project averages around $1,750, but other features, like hiring a plumber, cost between $45 and $200 per hour.
The cost to remodel a basement is between $12,100 and $33,400 for the average homeowner. The price you pay can be as little as $3,500 or as much as $50,200, depending on the size and condition of your basement and the type of remodel you're doing.
If you're doing a simple project like adding a home office to your basement, you can expect to pay anywhere from $500 to $3,000. However, if you're adding a bathroom, which is an extensive project, you can expect to pay between $6,600 to $16,500.
Damp proofing and waterproofing are both methods to help keep your basement dry. Damp proofing keeps soil moisture from entering your basement, which is helpful since your basement is underground. Waterproofing, however, keeps both soil moisture and liquid water out of the basement, which is essential, especially if you live in a wet environment. Because it’s more protective, waterproofing typically costs more than damp proofing.
Although homeowners often use the terms basement remodeling and basement finishing interchangeably, they are quite different terms.
Finishing a basement is the process of taking a basement space that is not habitable and adding elements to make it usable. This includes adding plumbing, flooring, and insulation.
Remodeling a basement means taking an already existing finished basement and changing it, often by adding or removing walls, adding plumbing, or changing the existing flooring.
The cost of basement waterproofing is $4,950 for the average homeowner. However, you could end up paying between $600 and $14,000, depending on factors like basement size, waterproofing method, and the region you live in.
If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, you might be paying more for waterproofing than if you lived somewhere drier since waterproofing contractors would be in high demand. Likewise, a 500-foot basement costs between $2,500and $5,000 to waterproof, but that price rises significantly for a larger basement.
