Best foundation drain installation pros near Montclair, NJ

"Put in a French drain and removed a lot of most walls. Done in a day! Great company, highly recommend!"

"Did a great job, thorough, good cleanup and were careful not to make a mess on our main floor. Came back afterwards to flash the french drain to see if that helped reduce our radon levels. Really nice guys, would highly recommend."

"As I did the first time I used Bob Lindsay's company, I waited six months to write my review. After withstanding nearly 13" of water from Henri and Ida, I cannot recommend this company enough. We used Bob at my first house and decided to use him again when our final walkthrough of our house revealed a wet carpet in the finished basement. Bob's guys replaced the shallow existing window wells with much deeper, galvanized ones, backfilled them with stone and piped them into a perimeter channel drain that was then flashed and cemented to the basement floor height. The sump pump pit was installed and a battery backup system was provided and wired in. The outside grading around the window wells was also redone to slope any surface water away from the foundation. Due to our Radon mitigation system, a polyurethane caulk was also used to seal the system. We remained absolutely bone-dry these last few weeks despite rain falling at 2-3" per hour in some cases. The work is efficient, his guys are extremely friendly and skilled, and despite the messiness of the job, they do a fabulous job cleaning up. There is a certain peace of mind that having this type of work done provides, and you cannot put a price tag on it, especially if you plan on finishing (or refinishing) a basement. At the end of the job, Bob was even kind enough to have one of his guys tie in a 2" piece of PVC from the floor with a cap (which I then drilled a hole in) so I can run my dehumidifier constantly without ever having to empty the bucket. We have since refinished our basement to our liking and know for certain that this was the best home investment we could have possibly made. A friend of ours has also done her entire basement with Weather-Tite and had an equally wonderful experience. Thanks Bob for saving us not once, but twice."

"My French drain system was done in one day and they did Excellent work."

"They installed a French drain and waterproofed basement."

"These guys could not be more terrific! They were able to diagnose a problem that no other waterproofing could. American A-1 was here 5 minutes and they knew exactly what our problem was. We didn’t know it but we have iron oxide in our ground which needs to be maintained yearly. Also our french drain hadn’t been dug out deep enough to begin with so our finished basement got completely ruined. It was a very low point in our life but these guys came in, did the DIRTY job with HEAVY lifting and never complained once. They were efficient, knowledgeable and cleaned up to perfection when they were done. They even paid for a cleaning service to come in as dust had gotten just about everywhere. At another point in time our window wells were filling up with water and we didn’t know why. They came the next morning and figured out a drain pipe had been punctured by our underground sprinkler company. They did the work that day and it’s been perfect ever since. They could not be better at what they do. I’m in awe of how knowledgeable they are and how hard they work! Thank you to everyone at American A-1 for solving our problem, working hard, and allowing us the ability to enjoy our basement again!"

"Steven responded right away to my call for two clogged drains. He arrived on time, worked efficiently and neatly and even put new caulk around sink rim for free. I would definitely call him again"

"Jimmy is a great guy! He addressed two leaks on the drain pipe, one at the toilet ring and another one in the laundry (split level home). In terms of price, it was fair. I could have gone with a cheaper route but perhaps not the quality work that Jimmy did for me. He even installed a new toilet valve at no cost! Thanks Jimmy!"

"I had a great experience with this company installing my new boiler. Their pricing was fair compared to other estimates I received. Dave walked me through the entire process and answered all my questions, and his team came in and did a great job with the installation. With so many scammers out there, I truly felt comfortable working with this company and will absolutely use them again in the future."

"I had many quote regarding some drainage issue in my driveway. I got a quote from Chris and was very reasonable and he knew exactly what was talking about. I decided to go with his company and was very satisfied. Thank you"
