Foundation, Basement or Crawlspace Waterproofing / Encapsulation
The project eventually got finished. Might have been a little more complicated to get started on as it required the city and contractor to communicate seeing as it was a city renovation program. Things I?d like to go better is cleanup and mitigation of dust. It was limited to whatever steps I took. The pump has to be reset 1 to 2!times through a span of 60 days or so. Not sure if that?s normal and to be honest I haven?t yet reached out or looked into this on my side. Aside from that Mr Brown was easy to talk to and respectful as was his workers. When the work finally started to was down quickly. There were parts that could have gone better but it could have gone worse. I won?t say I wouldn?t recommend them at the same time I think there?s something?s that could definitely improve upon. And to add it did pass City of Plymouth inspection and their requirements for the program. I?ll have a better idea of how this works out in the future.

Colin and his team were awesome! They did the job quickly and perfectly. We were in a bind and they swooped in and saved the day (and our nerves). Highly recommend! If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would!

Colin called me back immediately to set up installing the battery backup for our sump pump and installed it very quickly! He even fixed an issue with our existing sump pump without any additional charge. Thank you so much for the excellent service!

Of the 3 experts we had bid on our basement job, Colin and his team were the only ones who correctly identified the issue. They were professional, honest, answered all our questions and took the time to listen to us. Would recommend highly!

Colin and his team are THE BEST! Professional, competitively priced, focused on the job, yet took the time to explain -- in layman's terms -- exactly what they did. If you have requirement for anything done below ground, Colin and his team are the go-to guys, hands-down!

I will not know for some time if moisture entering basement was corrected but am assuming so. I was disappointed with part of the final appearance and would have appreciated a response to my inquiry about possibility of painting calk.
