Get matched with top foundation drain installation pros in Sewaren, NJ

"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."

"Had a Sump Pump and French Drain installed, Mold Removal and a major repair to a foundation wall. Absolute Waterproofing and Renovations were highly recommended to me by a gentleman that does business with them everyday. Lou and his guys came when he said they would, finished when they said they would. They protected my house from dust and dirt by covering everything with plastic. The price was the most reasonable in comparison. They were professional, clean and trustworthy. They actually found a gold wedding band that was missing for months and were honest enough to return it to us. I'm 100% satisfied with the the work that was done and highly recommend them!"

"They explained their system and the installation process in detail. They were very flexible and worked with our schedule to finish installation of French drain system before sale of house. Extra foundation work was needed, and they did that as fast as possible"

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

"Roland contacted us promptly and set up an appointment to evaluate within a few days. We described the water problem we were having and he looked into possible causes. After ruling out a couple of things he said that French drains were the way to go. He accommodated our schedule when setting up a date for the work to begin. Work was started on schedule and was completed over three days. The work crew was pleasant and communicative. On some days the number of people working was pretty large. The project consisted of digging a perimeter trench along the basement wall; installing filler fabric, stone, and perforated PVC pipe to exit into a sump pump; installing a sump pump and a battery backup; connecting the sump pump drainage to our municipal storm drain; drilling out the bottom foundation blocks and mounting drain board to the foundation; re-cementing the concrete floor; reconstructing a concrete platform at the foot of our basement stairs that needed to be removed for the trench to be dug; clean up and removal of debris. All of these things were done expertly. The construction area was curtained off to keep dust and debris isolated. In order to run the drain out to the municipal storm drain it was necessary to dig under a section of sidewalk. The workmen targeted a section of sidewalk that was in need of repair already, so we got the benefit of a repaired sidewalk as well! We knew at the outset that this company does not do electrical work. A power line for the pumps had to be installed by another contractor after the drain was completed."

"Quick, professional service. Replaced our main water valve efficiently. Highly recommend for fast and reliable work."

"We had an older Heatmaker combination unit boiler that was 32 years old that needed to be replaced. We started out with several estimates and first decided what could be used in our space constrained garage. We decided on a Navien combination unit and focused a obtained a couple more estimates. Dawson in fact was one of the last estimates we obtained. While Dave from Dawson had the benefit of us being well along the learning curve, he was able to answer all of our questions about the new unit and how best to solve the condensate dilemma. He even was spot on with regards to treating our well water to minimize scale buildup in our new boiler. We knew we had reached that point where we felt we had found the best installer in Dave. Dave verified his condensate solution with the local township inspector and we scheduled the install date in two weeks. Carlos and Pablo showed up on time and dismantled the old unit and piping and did a first rate and well thought out installation job. Carlos had extensive experience installing these Navien units and it really showed. They managed to work in a tight space that PSE&G’s installers would not have with relocating a well tank. After all the plumbing was done, Ricky did the electrical work and adjusted some final dip switch settings before firing up the new boiler. Dave and his crew really are top notch. His front office staff (Wanda and Ondrea) made the PSE&G interest free financing and permitting approval process seemless. We are looking forward to the operation and efficiency of our new high efficiency boiler for years to come. If you are installing a Navien high efficiency combo unit, we highly recommend using Dawson Mechanical!"

"Their salesperson arrived promptly and provided me with a lot of information about their process. An estimate followed promptly as well. I own a condominium unit in an aging community (the infrastructure, not necessarily the residents). As a result there is a lot of concrete work to be done. The board decided to have one slab done with this process and see if it was something we wanted to use in the future. The first time the technicians arrived they were a day late with no call. An emergency had arisen on their previous job and I was only informed when I called and was asked why I had waited until the end of the work day to call. When they did arrive the next day they worked on the slab but were not able to level it. I was told they could put the trip hazard in a less conspicuous area but couldn't eliminate it. They had to come back to seal the joints so I agreed to see what the slab looked like at that time. By the next day the slab had sunk and the trip hazard was as bad as before. I called, spoke to a project manager and expressed my dissatisfaction. When the the crew returned I was offered the same excuses for not being able to level the slab and again an attempt was made to put the trip hazard in a less conspicuous corner of the slab where proximity to a shrub made walking over the hazard less likely. After several more days the slab had again settled. I called and reminded the project manager that they guaranteed no more that 1/4" settlement and that my job had never achieved that level to begin with. A crew was sent out a third time this time with a technical supervisor. Again the slab was raised, the same excuses were offered and the trip hazard remained in the least dangerous place. After a couple of weeks the slab now seems stable if not level. Quality 1st is a victim of their own promotional materials. They promise far more than they were able to accomplish in my situation. They showed driveway slabs, factory floors etc. being leveled perfectly with their process. My job, a single slab of a sidewalk, couldn't be managed. The community will not be using this process or this company in the future."

"Jeff and his crew did a amazing job!! I had outside waterproofing done. Jeff had checked my basement downstairs to make sure there was no water damage before he did the job outside . They were thorough and a very reasonable price! I would recommend them from Home Advisor!! Thank you Jeff and crew !! Yours truly Karen Perry"
