"Outstanding Help With Basement Water Leak Erik came to our home to evaluate a water leak that was coming through the concrete wall in our basement, and he was absolutely fantastic. He took the time to clearly explain the root cause of the problem and walked us through the proper repair options in a way that was easy to understand. What I appreciated most was his honesty and professionalism. He didn’t try to oversell anything — instead, he focused on educating us so we could make the right decision. His knowledge of basement foundations and water intrusion issues is impressive, and his recommendations gave us real confidence moving forward with the repair. If you’re dealing with any kind of basement water problem, I highly recommend Erik. It’s rare to find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely helpful."

"Marco M, Mario S, and Noel G were excellent and very professional. They helped me tremendously and the cement and wall work was excellent. Thank you!!"
"Sadid and crew did excellent job making a sidewalk. They recommended fiber concrete, stronger with less cracking.
Price was good value and project finished quickly and workmanship was excellent.
I can strongly recommend this company."
"I obtained several estimates for repairing a crack in my garage floor. The Lift and Level representative examined the garage and told me that the crack in the floor was a symptom of bigger problems with my garage foundation, and he advised me to look into that before repairing the floor. Subsequent investigations proved that his assessment was correct. (Another concrete leveling company simply gave me an estimate for repairing the floor, which would not have helped at all.) I was impressed with the representative's expertise and honesty, and grateful for his help in determining the correct solution for my problem. "
"The Angie's List Company name is shown as JB Professional Chimney & Masonry Services. The President is Sean Harrington and the name I made the check to. Sean performed the service on one of our rental properties. He was punctual, and took great care to insure no soot or debris flew onto the flooring or walls - KUDOS! He had some very hi-tech equipment and performed the service very well. Upon completion, his camera showed a clean flu, a clean fireplace and the structural shape of the Chimney. A report was made and reviewed and a hard copy with pictures was promised but never delivered. This is the only reason I gave them a B instead of an A for responsiveness. A repair was suggested but did not think it was necessary at the time. I will revisit this at our next appointment. I would recommend using this service for all your fireplace needs."
"They were very good, and were the most affordable. Tony was very knowledgeable, and did a very nice job sealing it because they also had to seal the concrete against my brick wall, and actually did it beveled so it'd look nice."
"We selected Arbor Brickworks based primarily on their high rating on Angie's list. Their estimate of the rather extensive work to be done on our three story chimney and rebuild of the courtyard walls and adding limestone caps to both seemed very reasonable. They performed all the work as detailed to us in a highly professional and timely manner and within budget. We give them our highest recommendation because we believe you will experience the same total satisfaction with their work. "
"Lee is the best, hands down. I own a rental property in Ferndale and the city requires an inspection of the fireplace every two years. Lee is the only person I have ever used and he is always on time, super friendly, always does a great job cleaning the fireplace and then cleaning up. I've also used him for the random one off repair like patching broken concrete steps and also patching around the foundation of my brick house. He is fair, has great pricing, does a great job, and is a wonderful guy. Look no further than Lee, trust me! "

Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.
