Basement Waterproofing: We custom design the SafeBasements Waterproofing System to meet your specific needs. Once the system is installed, it takes care of itself, backed by our Lifetime Guarantee..
"We hired Safe Basements to fix a problem with water leaching into our basement. One wall of the finished area of our basement doesn't have drywall/sheet rock, but instead has skim-coated mud and then paint directly on top of the cinder block. Since we moved into this house 5 years ago, we'd had water leaching in through that wall almost every year. We asked Safe Basements to come out and take a look, and they said that groundwater was filling up the cinder block, and that installing drain tile and a sump pump would direct the water into a trench and out of the house, thus fixing the problem. So, we hired them to fix it in November 2017, at a cost of about $5000. After they completed their work, we sanded down the previous damage to the wall, re-did the skim-coat, primed it and painted it to complete the repair ourselves. In March 2019, after all of the snow we got in February began to melt, we noticed that the paint on that same wall was completely blistered, with water once again leaching through the cinder block wall and breaking through the paint. It was exactly the same problem we thought was repaired. We called Safe Basements, and they visited twice. The person I spoke to over the phone said that sometimes the drain tile "system gets overwhelmed" and used "Act of God" to describe the heavy snowfall in February (language which is in the warranty and would ostensibly relieve them from any further responsibility). One of their staff who visited the house told us that the placement of our downspout outside of the wall would void the warranty, though the warranty materials do not address a specific distance requirement. They also pointed out that some water had come through our basement window, but that does not explain the water leaching through the cinder block. It seemed to us as if they were reaching for any reason to void their lifetime guarantee. However, regardless of whether the warranty is void or not, the most problematic issue for us is that upon viewing the new water damage, their staff told us that due to the nature of that finished wall, because it was mud over concrete as opposed to drywall with a vapor barrier, the concrete "couldn't breathe" and was therefore soaking up the water so it didn't flow to the trench that they'd installed below. This is exactly how the wall was when we first hired them, so we are at a loss as to why they either 1) didn't realize the construction of that wall in the first place, or 2) advised us to install drain tile that was apparently never going to effectively solve the original problem. We relied on their expert advice about how to address our problem, so we are disappointed that they sold us a solution that they reasonably should have known wouldn't work. Safe Basements has advised us to re-grade the exterior, which we have begun to do, and to either completely expose the cinder block on that wall (effectively unfinishing our basement) or install drywall (which isn't feasible due to the placement of a stairwell). The drain tile system is slowly working to some extent, and indeed, some of the blistering that caused us to call them has receded, but the blistered paint is still noticeable and needs to be fixed. So our original problem remains unsolved and we will incur more costs to repair that wall and try to keep water out of our basement. It seems to us that we could have just addressed the exterior grading in the first place rather than installing the drain tile, spending a fraction of the cost to get likely the same result.

"David was great to work with from quote to project completion. We had a completely unfinished basement and now have a beautiful living space, including a new bedroom and bath and a living room with a fireplace and wet bar. David's quote was one of the lower ones that we received, but also one of the most detailed so that we could be sure there wouldn't be surprises or unnecessary overhead. He was easy to work with when discussing our desired room design, offering smart suggestions about how certain things would work and/or look. He was very fair when we had to make design changes to the fireplace after it was already framed up. David's tiling and woodwork is impeccable, and his plumbing and electrical subs also do great work.

"They were okay. I didn't think it was anything special but I thought they were good. I guess they were very responsive. It was kind of a big job. I think the price was probably the best it could have been even though it seems like a heck of a lot to me. I would recommend them to somebody."

"Previous piering companies had tried and failed to solve our sinking foundation problem with undersized piers. After researching available options and getting quotes from a few companies, we chose Expert House Movers to excavate around our foundation, install custom made piers to support the weight of our house (full masonry, stone foundation, slate roof and terazzo floos) and spray a rubberized coating on the below ground portion of our foundation to stop future water penetrations in our stone foundation. They showed up promptly, performed the necessary work in a timely matter and were careful of the landscaping we wanted to keep. The job itself took longer than anticipated mostly due to additional work needed once the foundation was exposed (tuckpointing, new window wells, etc). There was minor damage to the sprinkler system and the water service line, but we were compensated for the damage by EHM. My only complaint was the amount of old drainage pipes and broken concrete that was left on site during the work and not removed until the end of the job. <br />

"&nbsp;I usually do not write reviews but when it comes to Trinity they deserve one. As with many others, when looking for someone to do your concrete work, you call and call to get someone who will actually call back which are one or two out of a dozen. In my case, I had lined someone up in January (friend of a friend) and he said I would be number one in the spring. Well I was not number one (number 8 or 9 actually) so that person was fired. <br> <br>Enter TRINITY! I called on a Monday morning and spoke with Cassandra and she set up an appointment for Tuesday at 11am since they were working in the area. Come Tuesday Jeff was actually early and patiently waiting. We went over the project and came to terms on a price all within 15 minutes tops. Wednesday afternoon they were already prepping with a simple contract drawn up but straight forward, Thursday forms are set and Friday its all over except for a few small items. <br> <br>I guess what I am trying to say is Jeff is a man of his word and still has the mentality that a handshake means something. He is a business owner like myself and understands that a customer is everything and it shows with his energy and passion for what he does. I told him he would be an excellent spokesman for selling "Kaboom" or the "Ding King" and I mean that in it's most sincere form, his energy is amazing. Chris was the project manager at my site and was incredibly helpful and informative as things progressed. You can tell the crew gets along and take things serious but still know how to make it fun. <br> <br>If you are seriously looking for someone, do not hesitate for even a second to call Trinity. I will tell anyone I know looking to look no further. <br> <br>Again, thank you Jeff, you were a lifesaver. <br>

"It took awhile for the work to be scheduled - this was a small job and they were busy. Did a very nice job. A couple of minor deviations from what was discussed. Discussed having it done with small sized exposed aggregate. Concrete delivered was a slighted larger aggregate - they pointed out mistake before pouring and explained difference. We agreed to proceed. Also, finishing cut was made a few inches off from where discussed. Cleanup was OK but some splatter was left on siding after work was complete.
