Response from Soggy Bottom Waterproofing
I try to respond to every request I get but sometimes with this new format I can't get the information. I'm sorry I didn't get to you guys. It's was by no means intentional.

Tony was very professional. He was on time and very willing to work on my schedule. He got the job done early and I am very pleased with the product and installation. I would definitely recommend Tony and Soggy Bottom Waterproofing
Description of Work: Installed dehumidifier in my workshop
Tony and David used a 2-step approach: 1) performed work in the basement which included installing a sump pump, a well, wall sheathing, and weep holes; and 2) completely sealed cracked cement and installed a drainage system in a raised flowerbed attached to the house. Since completion of the work, we have had several occasions with heavy rainfalls, and for the first time in two years since we bought the house, we have not had water in the basement thanks to the competent waterproofing system installed by Soggy Bottom Waterproofing. Not only was their work 100% effective in preventing water leaking into my basement workshop, they were at least 1/2 to 1/3 of the total cost quoted by other companies. They performed the work with minimal disruption to existing structures in the basement (unlike one proposal we received), and structurally improved the raised garden wall. We are completely satisfied with the professional and thorough work performed by Soggy Bottom Waterproofing and would not hesitate to recommend them to our friends and neighbors..

The job was completely professionally, the price was reasonable. They made sure everything was protected while they worked. At the end the job, the basement floor was patched, the job site was spotless, like they were never here. My water problem I put up with for over 5 years was finally put to rest.

Tony and his crew did exactly the work we had discussed. My crawlspace is now clean of debris, covered in a thick clean ground cover and is less humid due to the way Tony designed a system to remove the damp air as needed. This is the 3rd time we have used Tony's company. He saved my wife and I big bucks earlier this year by giving us the truth about a house's basement that we were considering buying. He also drove all the way to Wilkes County and saved my dad @ $3000. in a basement waterproofing job this Spring. I have nothing but good things to say about Tony and his crew. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Description of Work: Waterproof and dehumidify crawlspace.
Excellent. Tony saved us a lot of headaches by telling us exactly what was wrong with the house and prevented us from spending a great deal of money on a house that would have become a money pit.

Tony was one of four contractors who gave me a bid. All had the same course of action which involved sealing the crawl space by putting down plastic on the ground to seal the moisture, seal foundation air vents and install a quality dehumidifier. Then support the floors with with beams and floor jacks. Unlike the other contractors, Tony's approach was logical and complete without a lot of salesmanship or hype. The other contractors used scare tactics, wanted to do what I learned was unnecessary work and said it would take over a week. But the most stunning fact was Tony's quote price was less than half of the other three contractors. He did quality work and did it in two and a half days. On time, strong work ethic and no hype.
Description of Work: After 40 years, our house has cracking walls and sinking floors. Most every contractor I contacted told me basically the same thing.... moisture in the crawl space was deteriorating the floor beams and weakening the structure overall.

Tony and his crew were great. They were able to get the work done quickly, and right on budget. I would recommend him to anyone who might have an issue with their basement and crawl space.
Description of Work: I have an older house I just purchased in a neighborhood in central Greensboro. The crawlspace was a bit of a wreak, and due to the grade of the land the crawlspace was prone to collect standing water. I needed to have the sump pump replaced, a vapor barrier installed and needed french drains installed in the crawlspace to direct the water that seeps through the naturally porous brick to the sump system. I also needed some piers installed to eliminate some bouncy floors.

Tony was able to tell where the water had been coming in before we removed the walls just from looking around. This was spot on once we removed the paneling from the walls. Tony was always very responsive to any phone calls or questions and was very quick in getting me a quote, even though it was an hour drive to my mother's house in Danville. He arrived on time and completed the job in a day. It is nice to have a contracter who has the work ethic and responsiveness of Tony.
Description of Work: My mother's 1958 house had developed extensive flooding in the basement. After trying manner small fixes, I called Soggy Bottom. We had two interior panel walls taken down and Tony put in french drains around the perimeter which led to a sump pump that will in turn pump out any water that makes it through the walls; preventing it from coming into the house.

Provider made an appointment for Saturday morning. He came by when scheduled, assessed the issue, and said he would need to get back to me with an estimate the following Monday, but he never did. I will not chase providers who don't follow though with what they promise - if they can't follow through when TRYING to get my business, I doubt they will follow through on completing the work or if there are issues.

The owner was very efficient in responding to e-mails as we had questions and arrived promptly with his crew as scheduled. He explained everything in detail as to the process of installing the waterproof sump pump. With all the rain and snow that we have had we haven't had any problems with our basement flooding as it has before. I would recommend his services to others who need their basement waterproofed.

I called a number of places and Tony was by far the most responsive and professional. Several never even returned my call. He scheduled a time to assess the problem and prepared a written quote. The work was scheduled and completed just as promised. No surprises or delays. The crew was professional and cleaned up thoroughly when they were done.
Description of Work: Soggy Bottom Waterproofing resolved a drainage issue that caused water to leak into a basement area. The project involved removing about 100 ft of old corrugated, flexible drainage pipe and replacing it with 6 in PVC, and adding a catch basin at the mid point. They also repaired the grate on the existing storm drain and connected the gutter downspouts to the new pipe.

At this point we are very satisfied with the work. The entire project took about 2 weeks.
Description of Work: The Provider came out and accessed the issue of standing water in the crawl apace. He concluded a french drain would have to be dug along on side of the crawl space with water pumped out by a installed pump. A dehumidifier was also installed and vents were sealed to draw as much water out of the,air and ground as possible. Old plastic was pulled up and a vapor barrier mat was installed covering the crawl space floor. Once we have,a other vendor install new gutters as part of another project, we will call Soggy Bottom back to run underground extentions from gutter spouts out into the yard to keep excess water away from the foundation.

I did the Inspection for Mr [removed member name]3 days after he bought the service and checked everything I could get too. I didn't do anything for him other then a inspection. He don't have an Foundation vents at all in the basement so I don't know what he is referring to on this review. I was as thorough as I could be because all the walls was covered to the ceiling with shelves and boxes.
