The estimated time to complete this job was exactly what we were told. When the installation was complete all debris was taken and the cellar was spotless. My husband rated their work ethic and professionalism A+. In his exact words; "great bunch of guys very professional". Today 12/9/2014, it has been raining all night and will till tomorrow. I went into the cellar this morning which by now would normally be damp everywhere. It is not. Leader's Basement Systems Inc. is a company that works with you to find the best solution for your particular issue of a wet damp cellar. The cost for us was very reasonable because we had already done some work which was usable. I am sure the cost will differ for whatever the issue may be for other wet and damp cellars but know that their waterproofing system is worth it.

We knew from the disclosure documents that the house had aluminum wiring but JBS found multiple other issues. Tracey pointed out that the house had a ridge vent but no soffits on the front of the house and improperly spaced soffits in the rear. The seller had installed a dry basement system but at Tracey pointed out be on top of a hill the basement would likely be dry if the house had gutters. Tracey spotted insect damage, rotting wood on a screened in porch, a metal flashing installed to prevent ice dams that was lifting up the shingle on the roof, excess caulking around the chimney, and issues with the front masonry porch caving in toward the house and this was all before we stepped foot in the house. The excess caulking around the chimney was from previous water leak that signs could be found in the attic. About 2 hours into the inspection we had the feeling we were not going to purchase this house and asked Tracey to teach us things to look for when looking at other homes. We did walk away from this home due to the $40k to $60 that was found on the inspection and several areas that Tracey could only say there was the possibility for concealed damage. We have since used Alex from JBS home inspections on another inspection as Tracey was not available that day. The inspection reports in both cases are extremely detail and accessible by the web through Home Gauge. The format of the report makes it easier to negotiate issues as they are clearly laid out.JBS is more expensive than other home inspectors but saved us from purchasing a potential money pit. The is a lot of value in their service. They take a lot of digital pictures, test for leaking exhaust gases near the furnace and test all outlet for proper ground lines."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ma/cambridge/jbs-home-inspections-reviews-106146.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"FEDERAL HEATING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"MA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeff K."},"reviewBody":"5/30 - Central AC turned on and started leaking water.

Ran air conditioner two days later and found water on floor. 6/2 - A different technician showed up and jostled air handling unit and found significant water leaking at bottom.

He claimed parts were or are being ordered and he will call me back when parts are available to schedule installation. Can not give me a confirmation that parts are even ordered. I began writing down details after this technician visit. The next 5-7 days produced 95 degree heat. This was not pleasant for my 9 month old son and we moved to the basement during this time where it was 84 degrees and humid. 6/13 - Two different technicians show up at 8:30 AM with the part that was ordered 11 days go. During these 11 days I called Barry in service 4 times to determine when my part would arrive. He was consistenly rude and unhelpful. The two technicans were surprised that anyone else was sent to look at the AC since they do most of the AC work. This is the point at which the incompetence of Federal Heating is apparent. The two technicians, who seemed quite competent, identify the real problem causing my AC to leak and find that the part that was ordered 11 days ago before the wave of 95 degree heat was THE WRONG PART.

Relaxed bathroom faucet and sink stopper and tested. After leaving it does leak a little every so often. Asked him to check Main shutoff valve in basement to fix at another time. Called number of times to get appointment but no call backs.
After calling the insurance company around noon on Wednesday, I called AAA Flood. They arrived at 7 pm as I requested (the water had been shut off in my house by the dog walker and neighbors). Clay and his assistant are doing very well. The work is ongoing 2 days later with extensive...

"We hired King’s Pavers and Masonry to install a paver walkway along the side of our house less than a year ago. Unfortunately, the pavers were sloped incorrectly, causing water to pool against the house, and the walkway is already collapsing due to poor workmanship. The pathway itself is uneven—making it difficult to roll a grill or anything else over it—and the overall shape of the walkway is noticeably crooked. While the work is under warranty, the company has refused to respond to repeated attempts to contact them, including certified mail."

Basement Leak Repair questions, answered by experts
If you’ll be digging up your floor to get access to your pipes when putting in a sewer backflow preventer, this would also be a good time to take care of any other plumbing issues or renovations. For example, you could install additional pipes for a basement bathroom. Since the floor will be sealed over with concrete when you’re done, now’s a good time to take care of those bigger tasks.
The four most common types of stormwater drainage systems are ditches, catch basins, french drains, and slot drains. Ditches are open trenches designed to reroute stormwater off your property. Catch basins are connected to your local sewage system. French drains are great for keeping water out of your foundation, and slot drains are low-capacity drain systems that work best with light storms.
Although waterproofing your basement may not directly increase the value of your home, it will protect the value you already have by preventing water damage. A basement without any signs of water will be more appealing to prospective home buyers. A leaky basement is a major red flag during a home inspection, and it will likely reduce the amount that buyers are willing to pay.
Yes, many contractors offer warranties for their work. Confirm terms before starting the project.
The cost of installing landscape drainage with the help of a professional can vary widely depending on factors like the scope of the project, your location, and the specific services needed. Smaller tasks, such as installing a French drain, may range from $10 to $50 per linear foot, while more extensive projects like installing a catch basin can cost several thousand dollars to tens of thousands. Obtaining multiple quotes from qualified professionals is recommended to get a precise estimate for your specific drainage issue.
