Mike arrived early and worked steadily. He Is very pleasant, good-natured, and forthcoming. In advance he explained what he would do and while on the job answered our additional questions. He also dealt patiently and politely with a difficult neighbor. We are considering having him do another job for us next year reskimming the interior foundation.

Very well. When they looked at our problem he said it could be fixed with a sump pump, plus having a French drain already installed was a plus as they could feed the output from the pump into it. We have not had a drop of water in the basement since CMS did the work!

The job went well. We have not seen water since the work was done and the basement humidity is way down.

There was no water but needed I needed cracks filled so a radon remediation system could be installed.  Radon level was 7.7 before the cracks were filled.  Its now 0.9.   I'll be monitoring the radon level for a year to see if it goes back up but I believe that filling the cracks resolved the radon issue.   Prior to starting the work he explained that the filler would not exactly match the concrete.  This isn't a problem since the basement will be refinished and the floors covered.   He took his time filling the cracks so there was no messy over flow and made sure that the filler was level.   The filler did settle a little after a day but he left me with plenty of filler so I could level them out where needed.   Grinding concrete makes a ton of dust.  The way he setup, the dust was collected and he was and there was no mess.
$700 may seem like a lot to fill cracks, but there were a lot of them and a few of them were very wide. 
Overall I couldn't be happier.

Michael DiRaimo was extremely professional, helpful and courteous.
He answered any questions I had and he answered calls promptly.
The drain itself had been dug  by another company about 10 years ago but the pumps needed to be replaced.
It took him about 3 hours to do the work.
I am very satisfied with the service I received. Michael is an independent contractor,

Mike was excellent. Showed up right on time, did a beautiful job, respected the property, cleaned up and came back to check on job. He was very reasonable and stuck to the estimate.
Highly recommend.

Mike was great. He installed a pump in my basement. He was very efficient, and cleaned up after himself. He is great at what he does and has very good pricing. Since then I have referred him to many people for crack repair, repointing, and rebuilding stairs and they have all been very happy

They worked quickly and we were fine. There was no problem from my point of view with their work. This area flooded recently and I know they were busy, but they made time to do our work. I was very pleased with them. The basement hasn't caused us any problems since they worked on it. They gave a lifetime warranty. I will use them again in the future.

Michael DiRaimo (his company is now called Concrete Masonry Solutions, or CMS) is excellent. He is professional, thorough, and very honest. He stands by his work and is eager to please the client. I have used Michael twice this year. He responds quickly to calls, arrives on time for a job, works hard, and is very personable. I am extremely pleased with the work he has done for me.

I called four companies for estimates and Mike was one of three that answered. He came by appointment, inspected the wall and other basement areas and the backyard and gutter system we had questions about. He described his expertise that could address the interior area that allowed the leak (the primary problem). He described what equipment he would use, gave an estimate of the time it would take him, and the estimated cost. He also clarified that he could take care of the internal crack but could not deal with the outside drainage. We did not get back to him for three weeks as we sought other estimates and then took a week's vacation. During our absence he left a voice message to "check in." We decided to have him fix the crack and to have other parties address the backyard drainage situation. He was pleasant at all times, efficient, gave clear explanations of his work, and cleaned up when he was done.

Michael was very professional. He filled all the holes and cracks inside and out, resurfaced my entire basement covering the slabs to provide a better seal, and applied waterproofing outside. He even installed new basement steps for me, caulked holes in my front side walk,repaired and painted a basement window. He even removed things from the basement that I no longer wanted and offered to sit them out for trash pick up. Michael was on time, if not early every day, which took about 7 days. He was meticulous and clean throughout the entire job. He was pleasant, and respectful of the household. He answered all my questions and was very concerned that I be happy with his work. My only complaint is that the job left a fine coat of dust throughout the basement which I'm still cleaning up, and I was not told that this would be there. Otherwise, he left the basement much cleaner than he found it.

Overall, it was a great experience. I wish he was the first contractor I called instead of the third. He was very professional and persistent in solving the water leak. He was careful to not to make a mess and cleaned up afterwards. Two days after he did the job, we had a mid-April Northeaster with 3 days of torrential rain. Not a single drop of water came into the Condo. He is also very honest and only takes jobs he knows he can do well. I write this because he declined a job for another property I own, saying it was the beyond the scope of his expertise.
